Spent the weekend teaching my brother about media servers and how he didn't need to ruin discs by having them where his younglings can get to them...
For those of you who are Windows LΓΌzers, tversity is a good place to get started.
(Tuesday) PHP blues...
(Wednesday) Decided to give Sabayon Linux a shot. Rediscovered my enjoyment of MC Chris' music today...
(Thursday) Got a grasp on php session stuff...
(Friday) Just work, early day due to spring fever.
Weekend Anime: "Aquarion" A rather cute giant-robot battling epic ancient evil anime which is also all about threesomes.

Regex funinations!
(Monday) Turns out, if you're coding up a little bash script in busy box, the regular expressions enclosed with '[ ]' and the one prefaced with 'expr' are evaluated in slightly different ways.
'expr' seems to be the more comprehensive of the two.
(Tuesday) Spent the day putting out 'your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency for me' type fires. I'd have rather said "tough, deal with it" but then somebody'd just shitty it up, and that dog don't hunt.
And then there was birthday cake (not my birthday) and the day got better.
(Wednesday) Kinda looking forward to the new X-Com reboot (I was a HUGE fan of the original), as well as the next SimCity.
Saw the "new" Windows 8--it looks like the ripped off the interface Ubuntu as been developing and using for a year or so... Poor windows suckers, paying money for 2nd rate copy-cat software with free bugs & security holes! Don't they know they can have a secure operating system for free?
Pro tip: You can run a web script from the command line. If your script isn't working right, try this and you'll generally get an idea of why it isn't working right.
(Thursday) As usual, Internet Explorer has to be the one that doesn't work. Apparently it's iffy about sending its $HTTP_REFERRER for some stupid reason.
Hmm, have to scrap my entire 'lite security' setup because of IE. Looking into "HTTP Authentication"
(Friday) Finished the anime "El Cazador de la Bruja" last night. Gave it 3 of 5.

Phone Shenanigans...
My HTC Amaze (awesome Android phone) had some glitch reset near the end of last week. Afterwards, it was running hot and burning thru the battery in almost no time flat. Worried, almost panicked, the solution came to me in the middle of the night; turn it off. Take out the battery, let it cool, turn it back on.
And, that did it! My phone is once again acting like itself.
(Monday) Still working on server-side cgi scripting for embedded Linux. Fun/tough stuff.
(Tuesday) Ugh! There's tons to know in order to master bash scripts...
If you're making a cgi script and some commands are working (like cat & ls) and others aren't (like 'wc') try adding the full path to the non-working command (/usr/bin/wc) and if that fixes it, it means you need to modify the CGIPath in your boa.conf file. (And then restart your boa webserver)
(Wednesday) Exciting news! The 'Raspberry Pi' $35 Linux computer began shipping today! www.raspberrypi.org/
(Thursday) Today I learned there are a few marked differences between the busybox "bash" and the normal Linux bash. Namely: functions in bash scripts. In busybox, it's a no-go.
(Friday) Came & went...
This weekend's anime: Orphen (3.5 of 5) & 'Oh! Edo Rocket' (4.5 of 5).
