So I'm pretty bored at work, and start screwing around with google and the get directions thing for the maps.
Clicked 'Get Directions' and put in Toronto, Ontario to Paris, France.
Apparently Google thinks it'll take me 29 days and 11 hours to get there.
I also have to swim across the Atlantic Ocean. :|
I then decided to see where else I'd have to swim too. Apparently you have to go through France no matter what. I stuck in Cork, Ireland, and had to go through France and the UK instead of just swimming directly to Cork.
...yes. I'm really that bored. :( |

So today, I had to search through a 3GB directory of source code to find some minor, idiotic, typo, that wasn't being listed in my error logs (mostly since it was PG that was bitching). After about 5 minutes I go fed up of trying to find the links between all my scripts and figuring out which script was bitched up.
So I made this Perl script to find the error for me (which it found in about 5 seconds - total run time on about 750MB):
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my (@files, %found);
## call the script, @ARGV Holds our search path, and search string
if($#ARGV != 1) { &Usage(); exit; } ## ensure we've got the required args
my($path, $findStr) = @ARGV; ## place input into our vars
&recurse($path); ## start searching
foreach (@files) { ## for all our found files, open them, and check for our search string
open(FILE, "$_") || die "Error reading $_: $!\n";
my @lines = ; ## load all the lines of the file into our array
close(FILE);
for(my $i = 0; $i <= $#lines; $i++) { ## for every line, match against the search string
if($lines[$i] =~ /$findStr/gi) {
$found{$_} = $i; ## if we found it, put it into a hash
}
}
}
if(scalar %found == 0) {
printf "Could not find anything matching %s\n", $findStr;
} else {
printf "Found %s in the following files:\n", $findStr;
foreach (keys %found) {
printf "String \"%s\" Found in \'%s\' on line %s\n", $findStr, $_, $found{$_}; ## print out the results
}
}
###############################################################
sub recurse($) {
my($path) = @_;
$path .= '/' if($path !~ /\/$/); ## append a trailing / if it's not there
## loop through the files contained in the directory
for my $eachFile (glob($path.'*')) {
if( -d $eachFile) {
&recurse($eachFile); ## pass the directory to the routine ( recursion )
} else {
push @files, $eachFile; ## push the file into an array
}
}
}
sub Usage {
print "\nUsage:\n";
print " $0 'Path' 'String'\n";
print " Ex: $0 '/home/user/' 'hello everyone!'\n\n";
}
exit(0);
I haven't tested this on windows - so if mangles your system, its your own fault.

I have a lot of geek friends. Of these geek friends, only one knows Perl, and its half assed.
I need someone with a bit of Perl experience to help me finish this fucking software package I've been working on for the past two years.
Once this can finally be shipped to the 5 clients that want it, (by spring...), so far I can then give a percentage to whoever helps me.
Anyone? |

Anyone in Windsor looking for a roommate, or knows someone that isn't an ass and looking for a roommate?
If you do, let me know. My sister needs a residence for at least the next two months so she can finish her semester at school.
The present place shes at, had the bank forclose on their house. My parents have left me with the task to situate her in a new closet. So, contact me: tyrant_23 at that hotmail place with the dot commie at the end if you've any ideas. |

[May. 8th, 2006|08:42 pm] |
I've had this plant for a while. It's a flower of some kind (closes up when it gets dark out, spawns from a bulb). I know it came from Poland.
Beyond that I have no clue what it is. If anyone knows, let me know :p

Apparently I was in Austria the other day. At least according to my bank statements. Ah the joys of having your card copied and used in foreign contries. I didn't even know it happend untill today when TD called me as asked me if I'd been in Austria in the past week. You can figure out what my response was.
At least my account wasn't cleared out completely though. Two transactions, about 500$ gone...but TD already put it back, although I can't access my money since my account is locked down until I go in and get a new card/pin. Thank you Easter, I get to wait till tuesday to do that, with 15$ in my pocket. Thank fully quitting smoking is 'working'...
Speaking of which, I cheated thursday night, but it was a drunken free for all anyway, and I only had like five smokes. Other then that, I've so far quit for almost 6 days. Go me. Steve is a prick though.
...Give me a smoke or I'll kill you...in the face!
*sigh*

Re-learning french again. wtf? No idea. I blame Zyban.
Things have so far downgraded themselves from suck, to more suck.
Going around in circles in my thoughts now, Zyban making my brian run in overdrive.
Which makes me second guess my original ideals on a situation, along with the sporadic others.
C'est la vie though eh? I just hope sleep comes before 3am tonight. |

Don't even know where to begin....

I wish I had time to take a shit. I've been so god damned busy at work lately...Worked 13 hours today. Working this much is on my own accord since I've SO much to do. Spent the past 3 or so days installing OpenGroupware for my office; and never will I do it again. I finally have it installed and actually working PROPERLY (unlike some of the previous installs...). On top of that the other computer work I have after my day job is catching up to me. Have two computer to format/install windows and one that I've got to figure out why it won't take windows (ide cable is bad or bad hardware...so far). It's ironic to think that I would of had time to go see Erik and Steve tonight.
Beyond that; I've got Steve constantly complaining about how little sleep he gets. Yet he will keep himself awake to sit online all fucking day adn do sweet fuck all around the house. So usually I'm cleaning when I EVENTUALLY get home from work. Although I can't actuall bitch at him about it, since Ula dumped his ass and he is going through a shitty time (which I understand first hand..). It's just irritating that I've to take care of his ass in more then one way. Christ, I take better care of him then I do with my cat, which I'm buying a new bed (so she doesn't squish me against a wall anymore...damned cat..)
The bit of a life I actually aquired in Toronto has been smited by the shear volumn of shit I've to do and the extra stuff I've to deal with. I think I talk to my cat moreso then I do people now. If I do talk to people its dealing with clients who have problems with invoicing/pricing on their last bill. Im strong reminded of being a collections officer.
The only benefit of this crap is the fact that I'm finally saving money. I have like 600$ that I have no idea what to do with. It's been placed into my saving account where theres another small lump of money. Im sure if I had time to spend it I could. Guess I'm happy with it sitting there right now, since I'll be able to pay off a debt I incured while still living in Windsor.
Im sure this is boring/dry stuff for my friends list, but I figured I should update sometime...
As well, I'll be in Windsor on Wednesday the 29th. I will be a the coach that night. Please do come by and share a drink with me. Other wise I'll tell you to die in a fire; among other various slurs I'll have available.

So, not much new in the life of Aaron. Got a second job, which I love more then my 9-5. Picked up a second job as a bouncer at a club. Cap. of 500 people. 12 other bouncers including steve and myself. Has proved to be a great deal of fun so far hehe..
Friday (first night) was uneventfull, only 8 people thrown out, none of which by myself. Beyond that nothin...
Saturday on the otherhand....involved me knocking some guy out, (I bruised my hand on his face...) as well as the other 10 bouncers (minus Steve since he didn't hear my 'Everyone get the fuck outside call' through the mic system...) beating the fuck out of about 4 people as well as a cop dropping 1 of them and 10 cop cruiser's showing up. Very exciting night. Haven't had a night where I got PAID to punch people in the face. I think i <3 my new second job lol.
The shitty thing about my new job is I have to move like 15 tables along with 6 chairs per table off the dance floor. No idea if anyone knows what 'Fox and a Fiddle' is....but thats my new job...after about 8 pm it become a club and is RAMMED fulls (in Richmond Hill...7 and East Beaver).
....
Other then that life = teh suck and I got a 50$ raise. Go me. Me and my 1500$ a month will solve everything! rofl.
Andrew I lost your number. CALL ME. NOW. or gimmie your number where I can reach you like....tomorow/day after
As a reminder, you all suck, and appriciate the emails/phone calls/whatever else you refrain from giving. Thanks! >:/
