I hopped on IRC in the evening and played some Star Wars trivia in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.princessleia.com\/irc\/starwars\/\">#StarWars<\/a>. I watched a little tv before falling asleep around midnight. It was a nice day.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I worked on my R2D2 IRC bot for a bit. My buddy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/users\/peacimowen\/\">Peacimowen<\/a> decided this weekend that he&#8217;d install Mandrake (his windows install died somehow and he couldn&#8217;t find his windows disks, but he did get ahold of some mandrake ones!). Now he&#8217;s on xchat, and since he doesnt have mirc now he doesnt have his IRC bot which had a temperature converter built into it that i used often. So I wrote one for r2d2:<\/p>\n<p><lj-cut><br \/>\n-@PrincessLeia2- !tempcon F 81<br \/>\n-@R2D2- 81 F is equal to 27.2222222222222 C<\/p>\n<p>Yay %)<\/p>\n<p>I also finally got around to tweaking R2&#8217;s weather script so that it *hopefully* won&#8217;t break anymore, and it&#8217;s got fewer security problems now. I took mj&#8217;s advice and made it respond to !weather (\\d\\d\\d\\d\\d) instead of anything, so that it only accepts zip codes (it gives an error if it&#8217;s anything other than a zip code). So it&#8217;s hopefully more stable now. The only flaw it still has is not removing the files that it downloads and which do not coorespond to real zip codes&#8230; I&#8217;ll think of something, it&#8217;s just strange because sometimes it downloads a file called &#8220;index.html&#8221; instead and sometimes it actually downloads a file with the zip code name, so it&#8217;s difficult to know which I have to tell it to remove afterwards&#8230; and it gets very crankie if i tell it to remove something that isnt there %)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be going into work on Thursday, yay! It&#8217;s nice to finally have a job sometimes %)<\/p>\n<p>Today is September 15th. It&#8217;s been two years since one of the craziest septembers of my life. I thought about writing a huge thing about September &#8217;01, but then I stopped myself, it wouldn&#8217;t help me it all. In fact, it might depress me, this is now, and I am happy. I got back into contact with my family and friends and I started dating Myk that September and that&#8217;s all that&#8217;s important.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really amazing how quickly my life changed for the better. I moved in with my aunt in October of &#8217;01, despite Myk making it clear I was welcome with him at any time. I needed a break from living with a S\/O. A break that would let me get myself back to some sort of sanity. I took a couple temp jobs while there and made some friends, I had a great time, and best of all I gained back my self esteem and feeling of self worth, I loved myself again. This was a very important step for me, as it should be for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s been 2 years already.<\/p>\n<p>Now I am going to work on some stuff *wanders off*<\/p>\n<p><\/lj-cut><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>o\/` REM &#8211; Losing My Religion o\/` Yesterday was nice, except that Myk had to go into work briefly %\\ He got home soon enough though and we relaxed together, had some Boca Burgers for dinner.
