Hello, world
If everybody else is doing it, why shouldn't I?
For Christmas, I got a kidney stone. Eeeeeeew, it really hurt, like, the pain was so bad that I was vomiting spontaneously. Not fun.
But then I got better and back to work, with an inbox a mile look. Various things at work were broken and I had to get them up to speed. In the past 10 days I have
- Upgraded Apache from 1.3.9 to 1.3.22.
- Upgraded CGI.pm from 2.56 to 2.79.
- Wrote a script that extracts information from our tracking database to the accounting system.
- Updated various documents in our bofh tech library.
- Wrote a web script to allow people to cook^Wmodify financial details in the billings database.
- Set up a couple of printers on the network.
- Figured out why the primary DNS server was refusing ssh connections.
- Got the Frankfurt office up and running (they had run out of disk space).
- Posted a snippet to Perl Monks, only to have Merlyn point out that I had successfully reinvented CGI->Dump. Man I hate when that happens.
Or is it a BUG?"
"Let's call it an accidental feature. :-)"
