Jay R. Wren – lazy dawg evarlast

this little piece of xscreensaver is kinda fun.

But I say fuck livejournal. I want to see plant.arslinux.com… so I need this patch:

Isn’t that fun?

now just start your favorite xscreensaver like this:

fontglide -program 'ljlatest http://planet.arslinux.com/rss10.xml'


NEATO!

Wow, I usually don’t think much of beborn beton, but this “Harmony is Everything” mix of Your Hands on my Skin is excellent.

showing rusty skills.

For whatever reason, I’m showing how rusty of a coder I am. I’ve written a little recursive function that takes a date and an EventLog object, and tries to find two EventLog entries that occur between that date. Its a simple binary search, which should work great since EventLogCollections are sorted, or at least that is what ONE article says. I cannot find that fact for sure in the Framework documentation.

Ah well. Its fun to be programming some again, even if it is for no reason except that I “can” for my current job.

I’ve got dbgCLR.exe running, and I see source, and my browser is still loading the page… waiting.

All I can say is that this is a very excellent way to develop a web application. I have a debugger when I need one!

It was pretty sweet this morning driving to work. I listened to Keith Jarrett doing Autumn Leaves live at the Blue Note. s/pretty/totally/ It was totally sweet. I got to work a little early, so I sat for two or three minutes listening to the spectacular end of the set. It ended and I said “damn that was sweet”. Out loud. No one heard me. I openned the door, turning the stereo off after three bars of Nina Simone’s House of the Rising Sun played. I can’t wait to get into the car and listen to that.

I made a mix cd. Those two tracks are on it. It is to what I was listening. This cd is inspired by a friend of mine who said he couldn’t get into jazz. He’ll probably be getting a copy, unless I find some flaws in it. I’m still not exactly sure how well it will flow.

oh, and the CAS ASP.NET pages are essential for anyone deploying ASP.NET files on a web server which has its webroot on a network share, or any webserver to which you do not have admin rights.

Writing a fun perl oneliner (it will probably wrap to more than 80 chars) and listening to Stan Getz – The Girl From Ipanema.

Does it get any better?

the oneliner: I’m just getting started, but my thought it : File::Glob + perl -pie + cron means I can have a random vim colorsheme daily. 🙂
