… at updating regularly. But hey, I had to squeeze one in before that good old month marker hit. Things have not been bad. I’ve had a good bit of busy work between bash scripting and working on a bunch of boring object-features stuff in C++. Sadly, none of it is really worth posting, it’s all just exactly what it should be — busy work. Working in the labs has been a nice relief. I swear to god, people have the DUMBEST questions every, but I feel good knowing that, by the time they leave my presence they are either cowering in fear or know exactly why that thing they were doing was not as it should be.

Ok really, I don’t make people cower in fear. I feel good knowing that that girl there didn’t know how to copy a file on to her flash drive, but now she both hates me for wasting 30 minutes of her life making her learn how to copy the file instead of doing it for her, as well as knowing how to copy the file itself. Sure, people don’t like to learn. They want things to be done for them. I am not of this mindset. I would like to learn at least the bare minimum of everything I should be involved in, though I make no pretenses about leaving expertise to the experts.

For now, it is likely to be quiet on this page. It has been 5 weeks since my last update, but those are 5 weeks well spent learning and teaching. The only thing I have in the running of interest to the outside world is a revision of some of the packages for Ninjas and Pirates, as I’m trying to get the forum games integrated with the actual forums. I may end up posting about that. Otherwise, Haskell has been sparking my interest, but I don’t see any likelihood of actually having time to learn it anywhere in the near future.

So, until next time, I’m off to give the world some PHP and a piece of my mind!
