Two New Scripts

I’ve been going crazy programming the last week!

Last week ik made a script (DIP) for updating Dynamic IP addresses on a web server.
Today I wrote a Perl script that reads Microsoft ‘Free/Busy’ files on a web server and displays the information in a calendar format just like it does within Outlook!
Cool!

Features?

Does it support multi users? Is it template based? I like its simple interface. But I’d like to know more.
Which program are you talking about?

Apple Picking

Today we went apple picking along the Niagra escarpment at a farm that was over 200 years old and had been in the same family for eight generations! We rode a little train around tracks— Seth sure liked that! We sampled wine and spoke with the woman who made it. It was a lot of fun.

We chased the wine down with a couple of Big Macs— kind of a strange combination!

shop til you drop

We had a great time in Saint Jacobs on Saturday. We decided to take a drive out to Mennonite country by way of back roads. The leaves were vibrant orange, yellow, and red. Julie Garden and her two girls, as well as our boarder Shin, our family, and Joanne’s parents all piled into the ‘church van.’

We visited a mennonite museum which was quite entertaining, and spent a lot of time in a giant antique store (more like a flea market). All said, a great time; though we did get separated from each other a few times which caused some consternation.

Eagles Farewell Tour

Well, I just got back from the Eagles Farewell Tour here in Toronto. It was amazing. To be so close to someone like Don Henley, or Glenn Frey was really cool. We were on the floor, about twenty-five rows back! We actually couldn’t see as well as some of the people in the cheap seats, but it wasn’t too bad. What an experience!

I was suprised at how bad Joe Walsh was. I’m sure I’ll get a lot of raised eyebrows, but he ruined the evening as far as I was concerned. They did a lot of his cover songs, and they were all too loud, and— except for maybe his trademark song, “Life’s Been Good” I could have done without him.

The touring band was INCREDIBLE. Folks, the lead guitar player especially, Steuart Smith, was phenomenal! What a player! I wish Joe just turned down and let this guy play. He had a creative yet stable approach to his solos and leads. Where Joe was just loud, Steuart was subtle. A musician’s musician who still manages to keep a foot in reality. I’m so impressed with this guy.

It was humorous watching all the guys swap places. A guy would be on the keyboard one song, then the kit the next. Especially Henley and Frey were bouncing from keys to guitar to drums. These are multi-talented guys. (Except for Joe Walsh!

All-in-all a great time. I’m glad I had the opportunity to go!

Vietcong

I started playing a new game recently, called Vietcong. It’s kinda fun; my friend Jay Forderer turned me onto it. We play with people all over the world via the Internet. Though it’s a little harsh blowing people away— I’m not quite used to that (and not sure I want to be), there is something challenging and intrigueing about it.

We started a group called [HOC-Vietcong]. If you’ve got the game, maybe you want to join us?
