A stroke of luck?

Hmm, I don’t know if I’ve got a recent copy of flocks files on my laptop, but there is still last years system backup, so that might be a good thing. Should also be easy enough to write a quicky to convert the data to entries in my own kit.

Digging into the code — code monkey’s go go go !!!

Well, since I’ve reached the point where I need to start organizing ${HOME} again (joy), and thoughts of ma.gnolia returning, shows no sign of vitality atm… I appear to have no other choice (that I’ll actually make :-P).

I am writing my own bookmarks system…

There was a project I was interested in awhile back (Nano probably knows what I mean), which required it; so that’s about 30% of the base design saved. The orignal project, called for itt o be part of a C++ program, but no time for fiddling (and I especially hate compiling under Win32); time to roll out Perl — and get it done. I’ve had it, time to code it lol. The original idea, was a pair of CLI & GUI wrappers around a library interface in C++, that provided plugable backends to sort out the real work; file system, database, ma.gnolia, mozilla bookmarks, etc. I guess ma.gnolia is out of the picture, and I never cared much for mozillas bookmarks format anyway ^_^. So that eases the initial work load quite a lot hehe.

just rotflmao kind of fun

Hmm, I think I’ve only ever typed ‘rm *’ or ‘rm -rf *’ in the wrong directory once in my life… but that was a project directory from ages ago, lol.

Cars been in the shop, for the 2nd time in as many weeks… and due back in on Monday for further kickin’ around. Oddly, Ma has little concern for how much bother she causes me, but feels guilty for borrowing money :. By her own count, sh ecurrently owes me about $155; I don’t keep close counts. There in, I suppose lies the difference; most of my family loves money, but couldn’t be arsed to save a penny, if it was raining gold. Me on the other hand, like my maternal grandfather, don’t really give a flying flub lol. Ca$h has it’s uses for barter, beyond that it’s as valuable as toliet paper in my book… Because, you can use money to get food, but money doesn’t taste as good as food — ok, I think with my stomach a lot xD.

Ma’s best friend had to pick us up, which is good I guess. Got to meet her new puppy Lakitia, and one of the cats taking a nap in my lap lol. At least, I’ve gotten a lot of reading done for the day, but no coding yet. I aslo had a bit of a pumch click into mind about a personal project I’ve been working on of late; figured out the basic structure last night. But, trying to think about the problme I found myself thinking, “I’ll be missing pointer arthimetic soon”, today it hit me; stop thinking like a regular expression engine for complex fun with strings, and remember perl has the best fscking regular expression engine ever made, built right in xD

Wouldn’t it be wonderfull… if I could actually get work done during the day, and not have to be some damn badgered that it takes hours to do what should be done in minutes? And I was hoping to be able to shave tonight, without losing nearly an hours worth of work :

WTF was I thinking? *SIGH* my mother enjoys driving me fucking nuts with pestering and patronizing me about getting up in the morning / staying up all night. BUT FOR FUCK SAKE!!!! She is the one incrementing my fucking work load by hours at a fucking time!!! I really wish there was a way, to make people see things “as they are”, without either having to break their neck or emotionally-cut them in the process, because I’m not fond of either method lol.

Joy, the slave gets called for more interuptions…. (Bitch)

Sometimes I wonder…. if there is actually a human being left alive, that knows their ass from a hole in the ground… when it comes to creating robust software.

Dogs take everything!

This morning, Ma woke me up laughing…. Willow had managed to steal my entire quilt, and rapped herself up in it: leaving me with just the top sheet lol. So I patted the dog on her head, and asked if I could have some of the covers <_<.

Willow looked at me, like I had corn cobs coming out of my ears! SO I stole the cover back, and went back to sleep chuckling >_>.

Mrs S. was right, if you want the best spot in the house, ya gotta move the dog!

At around 8:00 AM PST on Friday, January 30, Ma.gnolia experienced catastrophic failure to it’s primary and backup systems, and is offline while we attempt to repair and recover service.

DANG. It’s a good thing, I remember most of my bookmarks via URL and Google, b/c I’ll be waiting until they go back online to be able to access my bookmarks lool.
