You might be a geek if....
Edited on Tue Mar-29-05 11:55 PM by LynzM
You're up way too late, because you're learning to write Perl scripts.

You're learning to write Perl scripts so you can have one crawl the LaunchCast page to pull out the video numbers.

You have to pull out the video numbers so you can queue them to play in your video player.

You have to do this the hard way because you're using an emulator to play them in the first place.

You're using the emulator because Fedora isn't supported by LaunchCast. (damn them all)

I love my husband, but damn is he a geek :P

So if you see Briarius around, you should ask him how it's going with Perl :evilgrin:

4. Yeah, shame on me....
I should really go to sleep. But... the night-owl-ness was in full swing for a while tonight, and I don't have to get up 'til late-ish tomorrow, as long as Anja cooperates :)

8. How's it going with Perl?
Besides, geeks are a lot better than the alternative (which would be doofuses without brains). Actually, when I think in terms of my ex, being a geek was about his only redeeming quality. For me, I don't think I've ever liked any man who wasn't a geek in some way (of course the US and the whole anti-intellectualism is a obviously a problem on an entirely other level).

So here's to geeks and to those of us who appreciate them! :toast:

9. Small steps....
Apparently, it will now pull the html code so he can parse it, which will be loads of fun :)

Actually, we tossed ideas around for a bit last night trying to figure out how best to do that... I love the fact that we can do that kind of stuff, we used to do it a lot, not so much now, but I'm glad we still can. I definitely appreciate brains very much, as well!
