I just finished rewriting the autogen script in C++. Why did I do a silly thing like that, I wonder. Exercise, as far as I can tell. It sure was a chore. I'm still not really sure what the right way is to make DOS programs recognize long filenames (like ones that end in .html for instance). All the twiddling involved in changing the slash directions back and forth when looking for files in a MS-DOS fs and referring to them in a UNIX fs makes me want food. (? good logical progression.) While the C++ version is about a hundred times faster than the PERL version, it's also about a hundred times bigger. Why, I remember when 127K was a lengthy download.

Then again, I remember "popoids".

I want a hamburger real bad. I haven't eaten meat since saturday (TDate today - 6), come to think of it. I'm willing to stay awake until Burger King opens, just to buy a whopper. I wonder where I can get two bucks. The floor sounds like a good place to start looking.

Oh. December has 31 days in it and starts on Monday. Why didn't anyone tell me?

In other news: everyone in the entire world has gone ballistic and dumped their S.O.. What is with you guys? How do you do that? Doesn't that hurt?

It may be a slight exaggeration to say EVERYONE. However, I haven't seen a mass dumping like this since the last day of high school.

This is weird. Everything I read, and everything I see is making me want to write more code today. I haven't gone to sleep. Maybe my brain thinks it's at work. In any case, I am really liking the idea of programming right now.

I'll be leaving for Hawaii in one week and 5 hours. Wow wow wow.
