Madonna – Frozen

So we didn’t hear from our realtor yesterday… I’m not sure why she just *wouldnt* call us after finding out from the realtor selling the house if we got it or not… prolly the answer came later last night and she didn’t want to wake us up or something by calling late? Gah.. I’ll call her this morning once I wake up o_O

So you know those people who just “hate their birthday so much” that they are offended and even mad when you go out of your way to celebrate their birthday? I HATE that! Like yesterday, a friend of mine was turning 32… maybe not a wonderful age, but he certainly isn’t old… I made him an ecard (hosted on my website so no spam), made a topic in a room to celebrate his birthday, and then when I saw him yesterday evening in chat I said “Happy Birthday!” And what do I get? No comment about the ecard… a change of topic in the room celebrating his birthday, and a “Leia.. don’t remind me” when I wished him happy birthday in the channel. Bleh… I don’t know why I try so hard (%

So about that irc network stat generating stuff I was working with yesterday, I found nothing that I could really use for what I want to do. So it was back to trying to make an irssi perl script for pulling the /luser stats from the server. Well that was an absolute failure %) I am not very good at perl you see, and so anything in perl is a bit of a struggle… so I discovered the function “sleep” which is supposed to put the script to “sleep” for a given number of seconds, and in effect working sorta like a timer… I’d create an infinate loop, and at the end I’d put the sleep function, so before starting the loop again it’d stop for … say.. 15 seconds. Well I had a lot of trouble with that for 2 reasons. For some reason (whether it was irssi or something inherent in irc servers I dont know), even when I was doing a test, having the client say “hi” every 15 seconds it would show up to others about 5 times, after that it would continue to say “hi” but I wouldnt be able to see it as another chatter… very strange. Plus, I discovered that the sleep function puts the entire irssi program to sleep! I am not sure why, I only wanted the script to stop, but it makes irssi completely unresponsive, I cant switch windows, or even close it without a kill… it seriously sucks. I tried looking around CPAN for another way to write a “timer” but sleep was the only function I found… SO I decided to give NET::IRC another try. Ugh. I only worked with it for about an hour yesterday, was able to actually connect to a server with the correct nickname, username, etc… but each time I try to get it to do something (like joining a room) I get errors. I was probably just tired and stressed out yesterday tho, I’ll give it another shot today.

Anyway, it’s friday, and that means it’s cleaning the apartment day. So I’ll go do that, then call the realtor if she hasn’t called by the time I’m done… I’ll post later to give news of the house bid status %)! *wanders off*
