Dropped the Grinch
Well, whatever dross was left over in my mind from this weirdo semester seems to have cleared out as of today, so that’s a great Christmas present for me. It lifted right off. Great feeling. It’s really good to have all that put away. I made the grades I was expecting, which was probably the best thing. A little strange part of me was wanting to do not quite that well.
It’s fun just tooling around with a new camcorder and looking for something to solder with a Cold Heat tool.
I’m adding another programming project on top of an existing project and a some-other-time project. I really want to write a PHP application to manage a server. Kind of webmin with a lobotomy. The some-other-time project is a Quicken-esque application for Qt 4.0. Unfortunately, that means I’m either installing “experimental” packages on a base Slack install, or that I’m waiting until KDE 4.0.
Back to the server thing: the way webmin is, you need a brain transplant to understand all the options. Well, actually, you need to be able to do everything from the CLI to understand the GUI. Paradox alert. This would simply stuff and still allow for a sweet virtual hosting rig. Probably a Python + PHP thing (Python script installed in /usr/local/sbin run by PHP with sudo’ed root privileges). Sounds insecure, but I don’t mind a hacker adding and removing users. As long as they can’t get a shell.
Anyway, back to TV, German history, and rest.
