12/18   Happy 25th birthday Perl, and FUCK YOU Larry Wall for fucking up
        the computer science formalism that sets back compilers development
        back for at least a decade:

        \_ I tried to learn Perl but was scared away by it.  Maybe scripting
           lanauages have to be like that in order to work well?

9/13    Blah blah android blah, ok other than the bootjack stomp of the
        phone marketing crap of this, does anyone know where to find the old
        Android TCL scripting framework that was used for automating
        and controlling desktop apps (like mozilla for example). Thx.

8/8     Trying to make a list of interesting features languages have
        touted as this whole PL field comes around, trying to see if they
        have basis in the culture of the time: feel free to add some/dispute
        1970 C, "portability"
        1980 C++, classes, oop, iterators, streams, functors, templates
             expert systems

2/25    iTunes has two job openings for production support engineers. It's
        mostly chasing production issues so that the engineers don't have to.
        Lots of SQL, some scripting, no actual coding. Pager required. Sorry
        if I'm not selling it. Check the website or email me if you're
        interested. -abe
        \_ can we do this remotely?

        Ruby sucks.
        \_ Looks no different than python/perl/etc.  It's a scripting language
           that needs a virtual machine if it is ever going to be fast.  The
           scary thing is how much modern computing doesn't need stuff to
           be fast, especially when dealing with web applications.  There's

5/6     I'm sure you've seen web sites that distribute software by making
        a user fill out a form and then e-mailing the user a randomly
        generate link to the software that works just once. What software
        is used to do this? I'd like to distribute software in such a way.
        \_ "Software"?  What web server/web application environment
           are you using?

1/20    I have a rather common shell-scripting problem, but I am not sure
        how to do it in csh/tcsh.  I want to check the ctime (last
        modified time) of a file.  If it is older than, let say, 1
        hours, do something, older than 3 hours, then do something +
        something else.  Any hints on how to do this?  do i need to
        convert it to epoch to perform such manipulation?  thanks

1/20    I've been using tcsh as shell program tool (i know, bad shell to
        do scripting).  One thing I've noticed when I extract xml file
        is that the variable type automatically change from
        integer/string to... almost an array-like data structure when
        the output of the xml key/value is more than one (it's more
        like a string separated by space, but I was very impressed as

7/14    Shell Programming question: I want to call a script with 1 arg
        and have it figure out whether $1 is a MAC address or an IP address
        and then do call the appropriate function.  What is the best way
        to do this, given that sh/bash/ksh do not have something like
        the =~ in perl.  Check for exit status of grep, or is there a
        a better way?  For the moment, let's just say the two tests are:
