Gah.. I&#8217;ll call her this morning once I wake up o_O<br \/><BR>So you know those people who just &#8220;hate their birthday so much&#8221; 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&#8230; maybe not a wonderful age, but he certainly isn&#8217;t old&#8230; 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 &#8220;Happy Birthday!&#8221; And what do I get? No comment about the ecard&#8230; a change of topic in the room celebrating his birthday, and a &#8220;Leia.. don&#8217;t remind me&#8221; when I wished him happy birthday in the channel. Bleh&#8230; I don&#8217;t know why I try so hard (%<br \/><BR>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&#8230; so I discovered the function &#8220;sleep&#8221; which is supposed to put the script to &#8220;sleep&#8221; for a given number of seconds, and in effect working sorta like a timer&#8230; I&#8217;d create an infinate loop, and at the end I&#8217;d put the sleep function, so before starting the loop again it&#8217;d stop for &#8230; 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 &#8220;hi&#8221; every 15 seconds it would show up to others about 5 times, after that it would continue to say &#8220;hi&#8221; but I wouldnt be able to see it as another chatter&#8230; 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&#8230; it seriously sucks. I tried looking around CPAN for another way to write a &#8220;timer&#8221; but sleep was the only function I found&#8230; 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&#8230; 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&#8217;ll give it another shot today.<br \/><BR>Anyway, it&#8217;s friday, and that means it&#8217;s cleaning the apartment day. So I&#8217;ll go do that, then call the realtor if she hasn&#8217;t called by the time I&#8217;m done&#8230; I&#8217;ll post later to give news of the house bid status %)! *wanders off*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madonna &#8211; FrozenSo we didn&#8217;t hear from our realtor yesterday&#8230; I&#8217;m not sure why she just *wouldnt* call us after finding out from the realtor selling the house if we got it or not&#8230; prolly the answer came later last night and she didn&#8217;t want to wake us up or something by calling late?
