Quick Note

Posted by Mark | Filed under Life, Quickie, Software

Just upgraded CoffeeBear.net to Word­Press 2.6. So this post is partly to make sure all my plu­g­ins are work­ing cor­rectly with it.

I’d also like to take a momemt to thank AWelkin & Bryon for the gifts they brought back from Japan for me. I’ve now dec­o­rated my cubi­cle with 3 Tachikoma gashapon. *yeah!* Also a quick thanks should go out to my buddy/ex-coworker Eric, he men­tioned more than once I just needed the right moti­va­tion to get into pro­gram­ming¹.  Well I recently had some slow time at work and wanted a way to parse some badly for­mat­ted data; so I wrote a Python script and while doing so cer­tain things that have never clicked in my head about pro­gram­ming started falling into place.  I’ve since started work­ing on another Python script for a dif­fer­ent project at the office, so per­haps there’s some hope for my coding-fu yet.

¹ I do a lot of com­puter stuff, but have never been much of a pro­gram­mer.  Usu­ally I just learn enough to hack some­body else’s stuff together to do what I want in rather ugly hacks.
