Still no .net

Heh, oops. Well, 4 domains are down, taking out 9 sites, a major part of a major website, and 5 other sites are mildly affected.

Oops :)

Wrote some nice perl yesterday though. Andrew wanted a script which recursively searched a directory for mp3 files and put them into a list, so I gave him:

#!/usr/bin/perl
push(@a,"/home/mp3s");while($d=shift@a){opendir(d,$d);while($f=readdir(d)){next
if($f=~/^\.\.?$/);(-d"$d/$f")?push(@a,"$d/$f"):($f!~/\.mp3$/i)?next:push(@f,"$d/
$f");}}open(o,">list");foreach(@f){print o "$_\n"}close(o);

Nice :)

Woo

Well, the domains have been re-activated, radiac.net should be working again by the end of the day...

Oh dear

Well, domains still arent up, and tomorrow I have one nasty exam. Really really nasty.

I do, however, only need to score 25% to pass... iirc I have to answer 3 out of 5 questions, so I think it'll be a case of 'pick three that I can get 1/3 of the marks on'...

Aaaaaaaaargh

Todays exam was really really easy though. I mean seriously simple. 2 hour exam, I was done in 20 or 30 minutes. 2 marks that I'm not sure I got right...

But tomorrows... not good. For a start, it's at 9.30. Then, there's what it's on... logic. Turing machines. Finite state machines, deterministic and non-deterministic finite automaton, languages, grammar, lemmas, Church-Turing thesis, lambda calculus, recursive functions, aaaaaaaaargh

I've seen last years paper, and, well, 25% is looking unlikely.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

Yay

Domains are working again.

Ananova ran a story about the smallest website in the world... worth a look :)

This is diabolical.

GTA 3

GTA 3 is very addictive. I'm on level 2 now. You get the FBI on wanted level 5, they're fun :)

Got a lot done on USML today, which is good, the person I don't mention has a friend from home visiting him, which is interesting, and it's probably time for bed, which is exciting.

I am so bored

I'm so bored that I've started writing USMLP, a package language for USML...

More hate mail

Been playing more GTA 3 today. I rescued the old oriental gentleman from the columbian drug cartel. Unfortunately the first time I attempted the mission, I ran into the garage and shot the old oriental gentleman in the head. These lightning fast reflexes of mine are a curse, I tell you.

The person who I don't mention spilt wine on his keyboard the other day. His touchpad doesnt work and some of the keys are permanently on. Heheheh.

Thank you Andrew for this this.

Me again again

So, what's been happening, I hear you ask? Now, although I realise there's a possibility that you're talking about this football stuff that's been on the television recently, and that you couldn't care less about me or my website, but hey, you're bored enough to be here, I'm bored enough to write this, so lets be bored together. Yay.

First off, check this out:


spook office?

The UK police, the secret service, and the tax man can find out where you're surfing.

In August, so will the Post Office.


If a new rule passes Parliament, over
twenty government departments
will be able to spy on your browsing without a warrant.

Find out the facts.
Fax your MP
.
Stop the order.


Yup, it's two of the things I don't usually care about (politics and privacy nuts) rolled into one, but this is special. I don't care about the privacy nuts saying 'Oh my god, the police will be able to see what I do on the internet', because it's the police. They have better things to do than compile statistics on how much dodgy porn the person I don't mention looks at during the average day, such as fighting crime. Like super heroes, only different. Different like this new privacy thing is. Post office people? Fetish porn? Fax your MP now! Think of the letters! For the love of God and all that is good and holy, won't somebody think of the letters?!

I have recently watched Invader Zim, and can safely say that it is the greatest cartoon of all time. GIR rules :) Go watch it :)

Still playing GTA 3. I'm on to the last level now.

And I got DVDs etc playing off my linux machine through my television! W00t :)

An old one

But I couldn't remember if I'd linked to it before, sooo...

We all love kittens

My answering machine is coming along nicely. Now it sings the doom song to you when you ring :)

Been working on Tonbridge's website this week, it's getting there.

I'm all for equality and sensitivity etc, but things like this annoy me. It's the name of the character ffs...

But this is fun (down at time of writing).

Also been watching the tennis. How exciting.

Been playing GTA 3 a lot recently... there's a patch out for it now, which lets you play the sound from the hard drive rather than the cd. Woo.
