Wooo!
Looks like I lucked into some free 15th row tickets for
tonights Rush show.
Whee.

Todays mixed metaphor
The shots in the dark couldn't hit the side of a barn.
So, I could use some help. This is in the theory that explaining
the bug I see often helps you find it…
The web hosters claim the wrapper script is fine. Okay, lets say it is. So
it’s something wrong with my script right?
the script is called “showImage.py”. It’s a get, it expects querystring
of the form “image=something.jpg”
Yay, more stuff to do. Yay!
Web hosters are starting to bother me. Seems to me if a paying customer
on a shared web host sends you an email that saids “I think one of your
canned suid cgi apps is segfaulting if I send it the wrong arguments and heres
how I’m doing it…” you would respond to their email fairly quickly. But
what do I know?
This installer is getting out of hand.
heh…

You scored 12, on a scale of 0 to 100. Here’s how to interpret your score:
25 – 29
Hardcore Skeptic — but interested or you wouldn’t be here!
25 is the lowest score they list. heh. Though the
test vaguely reminded me of the scientoligy “personality”
test. From some
random site
So, I guess I’m posting quiz results now. Nest thing you know I’ll
be bitching about my parents and how poor I am and how cool
the new Britney Spears album is.
Trying to write an installer for something is such a PITA. I’m beginning to understand
the pain katzj/msw have to live with. Of course it doesnt help that I’m trying
to develop it on a release that it’s not intended to be ran on. But when
you have 7 releases to get stuff working on, you kind of have to pick
a few and go with it.
Web hosters are mildly annoying me. Weird cgi errors that go away
when you copy the script to a different name and run it that way.
Wtf is up with that? and the script doesnt parse argv[0] or anything
interesting. That would almost sort of make sense. And no response
to my support ticket yet.
Did close to nothing over the weekend. Picked up the new Bowie
cd, and a half dozen architecture/design books from Readers Corner.
I cant pass up books about buildings falling down for $3.
Need to figure out what I’m going to do over the 4th. Probably
head home.
Time-Warner kind of screwed up my cable setup. Big surprise.
I’m not particular happy with the new web hoster. I asked them
to install vim-enhanced on the boxes two weeks ago and it
never happened. Also, by default, cgi’s run as nobody
(instead of using suexec to run as the owner). This concerns
me because it limits what I can do with perms, and it makes
cgi exploits more interesting.
Got performance review from work. I’d have to say that
my boss pretty much nailed it on the head. I’ve got
no complaints.
In the mood to go see a show. Was yesterday as well,
but doesn’t look anyone interesting is playing anywhere.
Getup-kids/superchunk at the ritz might be interesting,
but ugh, the ritz.
Hmm, one weird thing about LiveJournal or weblogs or online journals/diaries in general.
I often see info that I suspect people didn’t really want known (despite them publishing
it in an obviously open forum). Kind of weird aint it?
Are there any good places to look for places to live that are not
condos/townhouse/apartment complex? I need to find a new
apartment, and dont really want to live in another
random apartment complex
Every where I turn in the last few months, there seems to be a new
stupid law taking away freedoms. Scary.
