I've tried to learn Perl several times. - (static) - (7) - March 28, 2010, 06:34:49 AM EDT

Learning Perl is like learning a core language facility - (crazy) - (6) - March 28, 2010, 06:06:51 PM EDT

What's the point? - (malraux) - (5) - March 28, 2010, 07:08:18 PM EDT

Ah, welcome to the expanding fray - (crazy) - (4) - March 28, 2010, 07:12:26 PM EDT

Yeah, but - (crazy) - (1) - March 29, 2010, 04:32:23 AM EDT

No, it's fine. I don't consider myself a programmer. - (pwhysall) - March 29, 2010, 09:03:51 AM EDT

Entertaining, informative presentation from PyCon2010 - (Another Scott) - Feb. 19, 2010, 10:07:40 PM EST

Why would you rename variables? - (drook) - (13) - Jan. 8, 2010, 07:02:20 PM EST

I'd suspect reuse of another routine. - (Another Scott) - (2) - Jan. 8, 2010, 07:33:55 PM EST

Oh, it's definitely *not* to avoid globals - (drook) - (1) - Jan. 8, 2010, 07:44:46 PM EST

Sounds like one of my old QuickBasic programs. =( -NT - (Another Scott) - Jan. 8, 2010, 08:28:23 PM EST

Re: Why would you rename variables? - (boxley) - (7) - Jan. 8, 2010, 08:30:28 PM EST

Not quite - (drook) - (6) - Jan. 8, 2010, 10:33:09 PM EST

anything special about $_request? - (boxley) - (5) - Jan. 8, 2010, 11:01:58 PM EST

Special variable in PHP - (drook) - (4) - Jan. 9, 2010, 12:32:30 AM EST

Actually, they can be modified. - (static) - (2) - Jan. 9, 2010, 12:50:44 AM EST

Did not know that - (drook) - (1) - Jan. 9, 2010, 11:50:39 AM EST

I was rather glad it was possible. - (static) - Jan. 10, 2010, 04:04:40 AM EST

If speed counts ... - (crazy) - Jan. 9, 2010, 05:55:11 AM EST

There is, but it doesn't look like that's what is being done - (malraux) - (1) - Jan. 9, 2010, 09:18:57 PM EST

Like I told Wade, I didn't think that was an issue here - (drook) - Jan. 10, 2010, 07:15:39 PM EST

Odd cron/links behavior - (drook) - (16) - Dec. 11, 2009, 05:17:42 PM EST

I usually use wget for stuff like that. -NT - (malraux) - (12) - Dec. 11, 2009, 06:04:46 PM EST

How? - (drook) - (11) - Dec. 11, 2009, 07:24:49 PM EST

cmd >>out.txt file appends output to out.txt - (boxley) - Dec. 11, 2009, 07:57:33 PM EST

Ahh, output-document ... so intuitive - (drook) - (8) - Dec. 11, 2009, 10:20:35 PM EST

typically /var/log/messages and any output is sent to root.. - (folkert) - (7) - Dec. 11, 2009, 11:22:21 PM EST

Nothing in /var/log/messages - (drook) - (6) - Dec. 12, 2009, 12:31:03 PM EST

Re: Nothing in /var/log/messages - (folkert) - (5) - Dec. 12, 2009, 04:10:09 PM EST

Nope, not there either - (drook) - (4) - Dec. 12, 2009, 09:48:06 PM EST

Check /etc/syslog.conf - (scoenye) - (3) - Dec. 13, 2009, 11:06:45 AM EST

Good point. - (folkert) - Dec. 13, 2009, 12:34:07 PM EST

That would do it - (drook) - (1) - Dec. 13, 2009, 01:32:30 PM EST

set it for a single pass first, then debug - (boxley) - Dec. 13, 2009, 02:38:09 PM EST

Figured out the problem ... but not the solution (yet) - (drook) - (2) - Dec. 15, 2009, 11:22:37 PM EST

*NOW* I've figured out the problem ... I am a dumbass - (drook) - (1) - Dec. 16, 2009, 12:22:56 AM EST

Probably not going to bother fixing it - (drook) - (15) - Nov. 5, 2009, 11:41:09 AM EST

Ooh... 5% is marginal. - (static) - (4) - Nov. 5, 2009, 06:07:47 PM EST

Why it's acceptable to me - (drook) - (3) - Nov. 5, 2009, 07:55:04 PM EST

All good points. -NT - (static) - (1) - Nov. 5, 2009, 08:28:21 PM EST

Seriously? Like, no site at all? - (drook) - (3) - Nov. 6, 2009, 03:03:32 PM EST

No, that was a joke - (jake123) - (2) - Nov. 6, 2009, 03:46:21 PM EST

Had me scared for a minute there - (drook) - (1) - Nov. 6, 2009, 04:34:17 PM EST

Is chopping up the file into < 2 GB chunks an option? - (Another Scott) - (1) - Nov. 6, 2009, 07:49:50 AM EST

Unlikely - (crazy) - Nov. 6, 2009, 08:02:17 AM EST

You can bet on that - (scoenye) - (1) - Nov. 6, 2009, 07:52:51 PM EST
