Tricksy little details

General January 16th, 2003

I broke my RSS feed with the Cutting Back entry. Actually, PC&M broke it. Or the & in their name did. Apparently, as CK noted a while ago, a lone & isn’t valid code in XML. If you change it to & it works.

I spent the last 30 minutes, and helping Andrew most of the afternoon trace down a really strange perl CGI.pm file upload problem. The solution? He was looking at /usr/bin/perl instead of /local/bin/perl. DCS-non-standard-installation-paths strikes again!! *sigh*

Parking funny

General January 16th, 2003

I went to the store the other day, and I was in there for only about 5 minutes. When I came out there was a motorcycle cop writing a parking ticket. So I went up to him and said, “Come on, buddy, how about giving a guy a break?” He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. So I called him a pencil-necked Nazi. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for worn tires! So I called him a piece of horse s**t. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket! This went on for about 20 minutes… the more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote. I didn’t care. My car was parked around the corner. I try to have a little fun each day. It’s important.
