stuff
friday night, i went to leonard lin’s stupid unix tricks thing. somehow, it was neat just to be listening to a “real” blog person. yeah. the tutorial was mostly review for me, but i learned a few new things:
- apple cinema display screens are nice. very nice.
- people coming from usc ip addresses get auto-logged-into o’reilly’s safari bookshelf. yay!
- i need to learn more about permissions and regular expressions.
- i should switch from tcsh to bash. but i already knew that.
i’m messing around with wordpress for another site. it’s a lot easier than blosxom - things that i usually install numerous plugins for are already there: comments, multi-user support, timezone changing, different syndication formats, etc. it’s more suited to actual blogging than blosxom is, really. but for a devotion-inspiring, idiosyncratic, eccentric, text-based, interesting blogging experience, blosxom is still my best friend.

march 8th, i start taking a couple classes after school at the local community college. just to make up high school credits, really: a generic computer class and psychology 101. yay.
i’m reading quicksilver, by neal stephenson. i like it. a bit heavier than usual for carrying around in my backpack, but it’s worth it.

bash is the default OS in panther, not tsch. (unless you switched it back... or you haven't upgraded to panther. :D)

err. bash is the default SHELL in OS X.
shoot me now.

somehow, i still have tcsh as my default shell in panther...i guess i did something weird.

wonder if the borne shell got more popular after that Matt Damen movie....

If you upgraded panther instead of doing a full nuke-and-pave it kept your old shell.
