Whoo, it's been pretty quiet on the code front in my case =)
Probably because I've been busy with Most Other Stuff,
uninteresting things, and really interesting other things.
Could it get any more vague than this?
Well, anyway, today I did code something.
I discovered uptimed, a much better alternative for ud. I
converted my old uptimes to its format, and decided I needed
to put that to web.
The problem: The machine's home page was written in JSP.
Tomcat and Apache don't like each other so much that I could
do a virtual include request to a CGI program... so it's all
Java or nothing. So, I couldn't use the included CGI.
I used a quick "include stuff from shell command uprecords
-a" until I wrote a JSP to parse the recordfile. Now it
shows the thing as a HTML table.
If my machine
somehow is up, you can see the results. I'll clean it up and
release it later.
Too much Java.
Oh yeah: Someone in the Usenet was obviously asking for a
school/course work solution for some trivial problem... in
Java. I gave the answer... in Lisp....
