Misc.
I'm very close to getting my old way of posting to my linkblog working again. It turns out, all I really needed to do, it seems, was to use the -html switch on the program that I use to do the actual mailing (blat). But, of course to actually insert that switch into my program, I had to have the source code, which got lost during the big hard drive failure. Luckily, I had a hard copy of my almost last version of it, so I typed that in, recreated a couple of my library functions, got everything to compile, and everything looks like it's a go.
I still plan on getting my WAMP system of linkblogging up sometime. It just isn't that pressing right now. Luckily for me. I haven't made much progress on it lately, although I do have a rough idea of how the logic should work. Especially considering what I have to learn with MySQL to get things where they need to be. I've got some e-books on it, so I guess I should be reading them. Zzzzzzzz.
Went to Circuit City and bought some DVD+Rs for $6.98 for burning. I'm awaiting my replacement DVD burner from HP, so hopefully that shows up here soon. It's been about a week I guess. I also ordered the power supply for the kid's computer. That should take about another week to get here.
Getting to Circuit City was a trip. A car ahead of me getting on the interstate had spun out. His tires looked good, and he wasn't stuck, so I helped him backout of his position and got him back on the road. Plenty of traffic. I had to wait for traffic to cross the road back to my car, then it was another 5 minutes of traffic before I could continue on my trip.
Tomorrow, if we have Kitto, he goes in to lose the tom part of tomcat. I also have a gig tomorrow. Another computer to fix. Permanent link posted by bytehead @ 6/27/2005 08:42:00 PM
