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).
