Trying to graduate Well, as soon as I hear from my professor, I should be able to get the final
grade that I need for my bachelors degree. It turns out, that it will only be
a few weeks to late for my mother to know about. She had looked forward to me
graduating for much longer than she should have needed to. I regret missing
all those opportunities to graduate in the past, but sometimes I wonder if I
would have been content with where my life would have led if I had taken those
other paths previously. I think doing things the hard way has forced me to
mature a bit, and that's probably a good thing. It looks like August is going to be a busy time for me. I'm trying to get
pairNIC version 2.6 done this month. I'm
also getting ready to go to an OA weekend and train the new web-tech chairman
that I will be advising next year. Natalie will be having her birthday party
this month. Leanne and I are planning a Vacation very soon. Oh, and did I
mention that I should be getting my degree? In the programming arena, I've recently been exposed to Class::DBI. It
seems to be a very good database abstraction module. I expect I'll probably
start using it quite frequently in my coding from now on. I'm also beginning
to finally "get it" as to why mason is neat. I've been playing with it more
and more, and I'm getting more comfortable with it. Hopefully, this will help
me build web sites more quickly in the future. I've also been keeping a close eye on the SCO vs. IBM lawsuit. I think this
lawsuit is probably the best thing that could have happened to IBM. They are
getting tons of free publicity and gaining credibility in a certain section of
the open-source community that they didn't really have before.
