So i’m trying hard not to lose my mind and graduate this semester. I have 9 hours left and I already applied for graduation from Clemson. *crosses my fingers* Career fair is coming up and i still have to get help on my resume. I need a joooooooob. Preferably one where i’m not coding boring stuff all day. I just need to invent something, that’s what i enjoy doing anyways…making silly things.
Work is tough. I’m setting up this XTF POS software that runs on Tomcat, and for those of you that don’t know already. Tomcat blows. So does setting up mod_proxy on apache to clean the port off the URL and then creating mod_rewrite rules so that you can clean off the home directory since the developers hard coded all of their links like that. Seriously, who does that? Oh well, i was finally able to do it (on debian). I keep thinking that i should have used gentoo and saved myself hours worth of time. Stupid apt-get…emerge is better than you any day!
I’m giving my first presentation for CLUG tomorrow, well..tomorrow 30 minutes from now-ish. It’ll be interesting. No one ever really pays attention. Maybe i’ll post the ppt and notes here. For all of my 0 readers to laugh at. 
Oh well. I’ve got some more imdb ideas coming up, and some more animes to talk about. I like that those are the issues i get comments on, thanks Ame for the comment ^^
this is wonderful!
I was notified moments ago that the room the server is housed in will be emptied next week. The server will be moved next week requiring an IP change. I will make updates concerning the move as I learn more. As far as I know this WILL require an IP change. Please inform all of your users of this unexpected downtime.
UPDATE 2008-06-16
Currently waiting for Clemson to modify the subdomain of the switch port. Expected IP is 24.59. No estimate on time.

UPDATE 2008-06-17
Server was moved, but we have no static IP or ports. I asked about them and was told i would be notifed. I have not received notification so i sent in my own ticket to ithelp@clemson.edu asking for any updates or information they have heard about it. I’ll post responses here.

UPDATE
A couple of emails and phone calls later it looks like the IP 24.59 is resolving. We also may have more ports exposed now, but i have yet to confirm that. If you know someone using our server, please ask them to update their DNS entry to 24.59 and if you are still experiencing problems please notify me.
His addiction for rockband was a little high. And Harmonix decided to screw the Wii’s copy of rockband by removing the world tour mode, and character customization. There is no online play, and no download able content. What a bitch move Harmonix.
(13:24:17) Brad: I AM SO SORRY, NINTENDO, FORGIVE ME
(13:24:55) me: didn’t you own a dreamcast?
(13:25:22) Brad: Ok, to be fair, Nintendo understands and forgives owning a dreamcast because of how awesome they were
(13:25:28) me: I see
(13:25:31) Brad: And I bought a freaking Virtual Boy, they owed me
(13:25:35) me: LOL
So i’m finally done with exams and now i get to write about this update. I got an email a couple weeks ago from Michele about an update to my imdb perl script. He added an “also known as” functionality to it. Here’s his take on it:
[...]we have the really bad habit to translate movies
and titles. For example, “the godfather”, is translated in “il
padrino”. This is fairly common in Europe.
Here’s a screenshot of the new output,
And a link to the updated perl script. Thanks alot Michele! I’ll post more later if he, or myself, update the script.
I got tired of waiting for my webhost to update their auto install for WP, so i went ahead and upgraded. The admin interface is so pretty now! 
I would like to say it’s loading faster, but for some reason my host has a load of 48…no wait..76. Someone is doing something wrong on that box -_- I should just move my stuff to a new box. I’m also running RC4 of K2 since RC3 breaks with wordpress 2.5, but i have to admit i’m less impressed with K2. It has some seriously annoying bugs in RC4. Oh well, guess i’ll go back to coding my php classes.
Go to youtube.com, click a featured video. Well played youtube, well played.
A great article about why the entire net is going to be screwed by the IE 8 release. I hope they stick to the idealistic standards and just tell every website to shut the hell up and recode your site. It’ll make everything pretty, and easier to develop for in the future. No more of this If IE bullshit…
