Yesterday I felt very good. No more depression that was bugging me this past weekend and earlier this week, yay! With that new found good mood I took the time to explain the “politics” of the xelium IRC network to the new ircop (yes, the one I complained about). After talking to her about things we both sorta apoligized for everything that happened between us. I am sure it was partly my fault, I got upset with her about how she was treating me and decided in my mind that she wouldn’t last on our network. So I guess I went looking for reasons to complain about her, and I’m sure she noticed that and it fueled her anger even further. Oh well. Things are ok between us now.<\/p>\n
After dinner last night we headed out to the mall to do some clothes shopping. I don’t think I was quite clear enough yesterday when I said that I hated shopping for clothes. I REALLY hate it. In the past it wasn’t even so bad as it was last night. I’m trying to get “adult” clothes, instead of just grabbing some khakis and a t-shirt I needed some nice shirts and pants. And I needed to buy woman’s clothes.<\/p>\n
-PrincessLeia2- I don’t know what size I wear
\n-Time- What size are the pants you’re wearing?
\n-PrincessLeia2- these are men’s pants.
\n-Time- Gaah…<\/p>\n
It was hot at Macy’s, and they sell water bottles.<\/p>\n I actually got a bit of work done today. I mentioned that friend from IRC yesterday who sent me that weather script, I said he “found” the xchat weather script but I misunderstood… apparently he found it written for a webpage in PHP and he ported it to perl in xchat. I finally got a look at it today, and it was quite nice. He wrote his own perl module to deal with most of the complex stuff, and then had a nice tight looking xchat script that called to it. I was impressed, and it’s really cool to know someone else who does scripting for irc clients in perl. In his script he used LWP::UserAgent … which is tons better than the wget\/grep mess than i was using with weather.com pages. So I decided to use the LWP::UserAgent module as well. It’s working out very nicely, and now R2 has his weather script again!<\/p>\n -@PrincesSlaya2- !weather 19454 Wutherground.com doesn’t provide forecasts in happy text format unfortunately, but it’s updated much more often than the weather.com pages, and I’m much happier with it. Best of all I don’t need to worry about the page changing it’s HTML format every other day, like weather.com did to cause my script to end up breaking. I added the !temp thing because sometimes I just want to know the temperature and dont want to fill the channel with the whole weather report. Anyway, I think I’m happy with the script now, so I replaced the old broken one that I had on my site before, now I have the good one up, you can check the html version of the script here<\/a>.<\/p>\n I also got around to rewriting the imasheep bot in #goddess. It’s written better now, and responds to actions. I added that to my irssi scripts and themes<\/a> section. I’m quite happy about how much it’s cleaned up now, can see Our friend Barry called, he wanted to invite us to a LAN party at his place tomorrow. I think that’d be fun, and I don’t think we really have much planned anyway. I’ll talk to Myk when he gets home (went out with the guys at work tonight).<\/p>\n I went to the Rogue website today. Rogue is an Oregon brewed beer, and one of the select few American beers that I like and truly enjoy. Dead Guy Ale… mmmm. I discovered (from the guy at the beer store who knew my favorite) last year that around halloween they released 64 oz glow-in-the-dark bottles of Dead Guy Ale. Apparently they do this every year! Now we need to find a distributer around here that sells them. I’m definately getting back into a beer-wanting mood, I think it’s the cool weather.<\/p>\n Now I’m going to go… do something… it’s late, so probably just chat… *wanders off*<\/p>\n <\/lj-cut><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" o\/` Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack o\/` Yesterday I felt very good.

\nSo the first hurdle was figuring out what size I wore. Now I’m sure this has been complained about tons of times, but the sizes on clothes for women don’t make sense. “Size 8” … I guess that’s sorta what I wear, but “size 8” seems different in each brand of clothes I looked at, and they never listed the pant length or waist size on any of them. This doesn’t make sense! That means I HAD to try on everything. I am happy that I have nice clothes now, for a few months here I was thinking I might need “Queer Eye for the Straight Girl” to come help me out ;)<\/p>\n

\n it here<\/a>. I was going to do my !help\/!commands thing on R2 today too, but I sorta got sidetracked and didn’t feel like it. It’s funny because that’s probably the easiest of all the things I attempted today. Oh well. Maybe I will have some time after writing this.<\/p>\n
