OpenFlock, code, monkeys and keyboards
Tags: Perl
dsifry: I created a project for OpenFlock here. Add yourself. Your sites aren’t routing, and only one is up, with lots of dead links. Yes, I know, we all have no time left. Once I clear my plate, I can help you with this if you still need it.
CVS
Have to work on my Secure CVS talk. Seems that the need for anonymous ssh access to a secured CVS in a chrooted jail with non-privileged accounts and quotas is getting more and more popular. Well, maybe not, but some people need it, namely me, for $PROJECT[937].
Perl
More perl goo for my portal.
if ($nummatches > 0) {
$lastmatch = $max+($set-1)*$max;
$lastmatch = $nummatches if ($lastmatch>$nummatches);
for ($i=($set-1)*$max;$i<$lastmatch;$i++) {
$file = $matches[$i];
$ip1 = $i+1;
my($ksize) = ($sizes{$file}/1000);
$size = &round($ksize,1);
$date = &formattedDate($dates{$file});
# convert the url for the forum messages
$url = $file;
foreach $dir (keys(%forums)) {
if ($file =~ /$dir/ && $file =~ /(.*)/(.*).txt/)
{
$url = "$forums{$dir}?msg=$2";
}
}
$resultstr .= "<p><b>$ip1.</b><a
href="$url">$titles{$file}</a></p>";
$resultstr .= "<br /><b>URL:</b>
$config{'webaddress'}$url";
$resultstr .= "<br /><b>Size:</b>
${size}KB, <b>Date:</b> $today_date";
}
$numsets = int($nummatches/$max)+1;
$next = $set+1;
$previous = $set-1;
$qstr =~ s/&set=(.*[0-9])//;
$qstr = "$config{'scriptsearch'}?$qstr&set=";
}
Flights
I hate shopping around for cheap flights. Can’t someone get this scam in order? Guliani could probably get the Mob in line and get this thing regulated. One site has a flight for $700.00, and another has the same flight for $408.00. ARG!
Work
Some days, I feel this incredible rush of productivity. Today was one of those days. Other days, I just feel like everyone else was productive, because I was doing their job for them, forgoing my own responsibilities.
No more! I can’t be responsible for voluntary ineptitude.
Employee Retention
We lost another one. I fear that if we don’t start treating employee retention as an important topic, we won’t have many more
employees left to retain.
“I can’t do everything, I can only do enough…”
Palm
Contributions are starting to come in for pilot-link now. A few OS/2 users are contributing patches. This is great! Keep up the incredible work guys.
n9mtb is going to help us shore up the python code in the tree now as well.
Stumbled across this yesterday. Looks like a good start for a server-based clipping application server. I’ve started something similar here about a year ago, though not nearly as thorough. I like the term “renderings” regarding the transcoding of the web content. Makes more sense then “channels” that AvantGo uses.
Plucker Desktop Buddy needs some TLC. Any GNOME guys want to help me fix this?
Someone gave me yet another idea for a Palm application today. A Flash viewer! Now that we have Open SWF, this should be easier. I’ll stick it on the long-term TODO list.
Anyone want to volunteer some time to come up with a good technically accurate Functional Requirements Specification for this?
