This three log entries a week shit needs to stop. Things just seem to move so slowly in the summer that there isn't much to write about. That and in the summer I am usually up until I can't hold my eyes open which means I am less likely to write before I sleep. Enough excuses. I will do more with my sumer and write more log entries as a result.

The other night I threw together a couple of handy perl scripts. The first creates html files linking together all {jpg,gif,png} files in a directory. It is useful in my archiving of comics on calypso. This way I can download old strips from a comic in batch and quickly run through them on calypso. The second script removes high ASCII characters from filenames. I found that I could not backup some of the mp3s on the server to the fat32 filesystem on my removable hard drive because the filenames contained high ASCII. I took the time to make the script smart as well so it converts things appropriately: 'ü' becomes 'u', 'é' becomes 'e', and so on.
