Gripe
As it turns out, making my OS assignment highly organized by splitting it into 12 files (6 .c, 6 .h) wasn’t such a great idea, since the submit script only takes a single file.
Fixing this was a simple process:
cat *.h *.c > bigfile.c
I then had to rearrange the order of the headers (command.h needed to come before child.h because a useful data structure is there) and a bunch of the...

Rude
Operating Systems yesterday was kind of funny, in a sad way. Half the class had their notebooks out for the class period, and not for the usual powerpoint-following. My neighbor noticed that the prof was going over ways to protect critical sections, and he decides he needs to go on a library hunt right then instead of standing the chance of accidentally learning something. The person a row...

Maintenant!
My friend Amin is in several of my classes this semester, which is pretty rad because this gives me the opportunity to THROW DOWN THE GLOVE and say that when I write my command shell in C it’ll be way cooler.
That’s right, Amin:
It’s on!
Also I ordered my iBook today. It’ll be my first Mac made this century!

Skirmish
Zap was over at the apartment today, and while the original plan was to take a big-screen TV off the hands of a friend, none of us had a large enough car (8” too skinny!). After lunch with Zap and RC, we went to Wal-Mart, and we each picked up the fantastic $8 Nerf Maverick (see this penny-arcade comic for hot pics).
If you haven’t played with any Nerf guns for a few years (decade...

USF Weather - in 3D!
I’ve been working on preparing software to display weather information on a display in the NES building at school for the meteorology lab. At first, I decided to play it safe and smash together a PHP script that did it without fanfare, but since I had some free time over the break, I went with something more interesting/educational:
It fetches the maps and current conditions from the...

I'm MAD about tickets!
I love open-source software just because when I whine about stuff (and occasionally provide a patch) it gets fixed quickly.
My first Typo patch
I love mod_rewrite enough to make UNREASONABLE DEMANDS
If you think my Tags on the left are illegible, you should see them before!

Bughunt
While fixing some .htaccess/redirection issues to get LiveJournal to point to a recent RSS feed, I was using an old Java program I wrote to see the headers/guff Apache was giving me:
After trying the preview button that shows the request headers HTTPimp sends, I identified a bug - when it breaks the URL into address, path, and query parts, it mostly stitches them together correctly, except...

I’ve never paid much attention to how Apache manages to actually serve stuff (the only web server I’ve ever messed with extensively was a class project a couple years ago), and the more I delve into it, the more confusing it seems.
I’m hoping that the software I switched to (Typo) is stable and updated for quite a long time, because getting Rails and such set up is more...
