back from vacation...

  • Article

Well, it wasn't much of a vacation really.  It was my Grandfather's funeral...and my family was pretty typical.  Long story short, I'm glad to be back to work.  RIP Grandpa.

Anyway...I started working on yet another project for code...this one is just something to parse out a text log file from Everquest 2....pathetically easy.  In fact the most difficult part is figuring out what information to parse out of the log file...there's a lot of random chatter in there.  I've also been requested by my wonderful fiance to create some kind of way to automatically put address in, like some sort of form letter.  I did some digging around and found the mail-merge ability in MS Office, and that it can read directly from a Db.  Well, now that I have that SqlExpress server running at the house, I might as well put it to good use...so I'm going to whip up a good robust Db system for all of our contact information...I know there's probably a billion programs already wrote for this, but I wanna do for myself, not use someone else solution.  :)

Something else that happened while I was gone that was weird, is I got comments on almost all of my posts with weird random links in them...I'm guessing it must have been some kind of advertising bot or something...haven't started looking for any information about it yet.  *shrug*
