I’m slowly healing from my sore throat, and took advantage of the downtime today to code an IRC Bot which I’ll open source eventually. It’s all coded in PHP and mySQL, and it’s pretty sweet (if I may say so myself.) Right now, all of the basic channel control functions are in place. So, I need to stop and decide what to add next.

I’m 50/50 between a "quote" feature, or a "a is b" feature. Either would be interesting, but I’m not sure which one I’m totally up for.

As well, I am trying to decide on the direction I want to go with the bot. I’m thinking it’ll probably be more of an internet agent style. So you could use the bot to smoothly get information from the web.

It’s all good. ^_^

Even though I am not able to go out tonight, there is definitely some use to this all. This is also the same weekend as when PtbCanadian.com moved to it’s new server, and as such I am supposed to help and make sure everything survives the move properly.

and…

since I am on house arrest, I was able to successfully do that. Now, http://www.midimachine.com is working, http://www.fecanadien.com is working, and a bunch of other subdomains that have been shifted to domains are working, and I am a very happy gent.

It sucks to be sick, but it’s nice to be able to catch up on some work. ^_^

Two very valuable lessons were learned today:

1. If you have a sore throat, get it checked asap.

2. And when you get it checked don’t go to a hospital, go to a clinic.

Let’s start with lesson 2. I didn’t get any sleep last night, ’cause my sore throat which started this week, and I decided unwisely to ignore got so bad that I thought I was choking all night. So I wake up, and decide maybe work is a bad idea and getting my throat checked is a good one. (In the long run that was the better idea.) After phoning around (specifically McGill’s student clinic, which doesn’t treat anyone other then McGill students.), I found a clinic literally 3 blocks away… Unfortunately, the hospital is right next door, and has pretty much the same name.

5 hours later of sitting in Emergency, and barely being able to breathe (Even though my SpO2 was 99% somehow.) I went in, and in less than 5 minutes, the doctor was absolutely certain I had strep, and not only that, apparently it was pretty severe. So now I have horse pills that will get rid of the infection (Which if I went in 5 days ago wouldn’t be as bad), and like 2 different pain killers so I can sleep. Which all worked like magic. I feel amazingly better now… Which thus proves the first point. If I have a sore throat, I’m going to the doctor’s right away.

Oh yeah, and did I mention that I am not supposed to leave my house for a few days. So, under a virtual house arrest as well.

Oh well, at least I am feeling a million times better than I was this morning, and will start to feel even better as these horse pills start to kick in and kill the strep.

Such is life though, you live and learn. ^_^

Yay, today has been an especially productive day. Not only was I able to get the next release of the product out at my work, but I was able to find and recommend an excellent server to AE Rose (http://www.aerose.com) to them (This one actually. ^_^ ) They have everything they need and they are going to save mega bucks, so they are happy, and everything is super super good, and ultra super happy.

Yay! So here’s fine glass of vodka to you all! I hope you have had as good of a day as I have. ^_^

Well, yesterday was catchup day for me. After I got my clothes and stuff all cleaned up and good (after spending nearly $4 on a dryer that didn’t dry, which was incredibly annoying.) I finally got it all done. As well, the page is modular now. Which is super sweet. Slowly this is all getting nice and cleaned up… Maybe I’ll do something really cool and make a few different Stylesheets for visitors, so they can choose what they like. (only works with Opera and Moz though.)

That’s all cool.

On the flip side of the coin, I changed my 8.0 pic on hot or not yesterday with this recent one of me.

Imagine my surprise when I go online today, and see that it has a rating of 9.4 . *laugh* Total insanity in my opinion. I guess I got the public approval of my highlights, and now have a good reason to go and get them done again when I find a good stylist in Montreal. Well, at least the approval of the small % that use hot or not.

Other than that, everything is complete insanity it feels like. Just so everyone knows, Kinda Kinky by Ursula 2000 is ultra-sweet. oh well.

C’est la vie, ^_^

Yesterday was pretty wicked. I was able to get my entire backend to the blog feature programmed and secured, and even got the archive page working to my satisfaction. Which is like Double Plus. Hopefully today, I’ll get the "Yell for the Sysop" feature working (not quite sure what I’m going to do for that yet… probably just a mail form, but maybe I may actually have it MSN me, or IRC me, or something, if I am online. Then I can actually like come and chat with them using some sorta IRC interface… That would be super cool. I’d have to get some bots up and working for that first. So for now I am probably going to see if I can code a secure mail form to handle it.

I was also looking at the code and realized I forgot to seperated the header and footer from the content… I really should do that.

On the night side of issues. I had a fricken good time last night. Decided to head out to a few house parties, met some really cool people, incl. a DnB DJ who seems to know his stuff. Probably I’ll go and see him perform over the next week or so. But it’s all good. Also emptied out my liquor cabinet, which is very good considering now that I don’t have alcohol just lying around, next time I want to party I am forced to get fresh stuff. As well, I have more room in my fridge for important things… like food.

As well, I’m so happy that I am back in contact with Lendita. Hopefully I’ll be able to go and see her in Suisse next year. That would totally rock. I just need to get my act together and finish my passport application though. That 2 years living thing is hell when you move every 4 months, or less.

Oh well, it’s all good. ^_^

After a Month of having the front end looking right, I finally was able to get the backend of 1337hax0r.com coded properly. So it is considerably easier for me to enter new diary entries and keep it up to date.

I don’t have the entire backend finished, but I have enough that I am pretty happy with it. As well I have the ability to include URLs safely. ie. http://www.ptbcanadian.com

As well, I can put pictures in with my entries.

1337hax0r is finally becoming pretty 1337. (Even though I don’t have tons of time to write lately with my work and all.)
