Another off-day for productivity. Helping folks with HTML, CGI, Web server issues, NT domain logon problems, etc. Folks need help with things, and from time to time I'm able to help them get where they want to go. And I enjoy it — but I dream of a quiet, solitary place where I can code all day long. Can't we all dream?
Added DHTML ”tips” to home.ooi.net. Mousing over a local user's home page now shows its HTML <TITLE>, thanks to the LWP::Simple
and HTML::HeadParser
Perl modules. Less flashy but more important, the program now gets an exclusive lock on the HTML file it creates, to maintain the integrity of the file in case two admins try to run the program simultaneously. This may only happen rarely, if ever, but programs must be reinforced against such occurrences.
