what a riot

On a current events front, a Slashdot story caught my eye today.. actually, I first noticed this yesterday on The Register. This poor woman at Katie.com has had to suffer from the (irony of all ironies (if i'm using the term right)) the abuse of her domain by the choice of titles for a book written by a child who'd suffered abuse as a child.

I'll leave it to you to follow up and try to figure out what's going on. Suffice it to say that I'm not impressed with Penguin books.

Now I have a seperate log on my home page at http://www.hackswell.com/corenth/.

This new log is a mirrow of this one- except that it is sanitized for those who
know me personally- well, mostely family. in case i want to really rant here, i won't there. :)

the other site may become more and more my
main
site, but who knows..

now, on to copying my most recent posts:::

A big woohoo is in order :)
Well, maybe a small one at least. Locked down my sorting files for my general index.

open OUT, "> $s_file";
flock(OUT,LOCK_EX);
print OUT $i; #new position in index
$index->[$i] = $sort_vals{$sort}; # page directory
$i++;
flock(OUT,LOCK_UN);
close OUT;

The new home page system is now up and running- not fully functional yet :)
I have to write code to allow easier traversal of pages. I am thinking about using this for the other pages on this site- it may be easier to work with the Photopage if i rewrite it with this code. It uses the URI data to pass parametres around. however, since i use URI data to go to different pages in the first place, it's taken me a little time to decide how to make this work. well, it works... when i get around to it, i'll post some code.
