"Sociability II"

Urk... and that's my mood for the day.
Now, to make like the social animal I am... not.
I'm an inconsistant reader, so I hadn't even seen this until strolling through Kit's journal. Probably because after reading the previous arguments, I decided to stay away.
I only wish I could be so eloquent yet so succinct at the same time.
And yes, Kit, The Crow should be watched from beginning to end. As for friends, only with friends who will know when to be silent, otherwise you'll miss something important (which is pretty much the whole movie). It's not quite as dramatic and evocative as the actual graphic novel (because comic is an insult to this story), but it is a truly wonderful film in its own right. Though perhaps part of this is because of the fact that Brandon Lee really is dead... thus causing it to have a harder impact than originally intended.
Whatever you do, don't look at the sequel. And if you ever have the chance, I suggest getting the graphic novel. And keep tissues on hand.
Ah, Raine. You've fallen into the addictive world of perl, haven't you? Next it'll be php, watch.
I'd need more detail on what it is you'd want the script to do. Or if you want to look into other scripts for an idea of where to start, you can try The Perl Archive or The CGI Resource. Plenty of freeware stuff you can look at to get an idea of what you want to write, or else just use the offered program.
More news on the coming portal front. I tried it, but that RSS feed I pointed you too is severely limited, Harlen. But I did manage (after the nightmarish task of installing a perl module, and let's never go through that again) to get a script that will create an rss file for your site on mine for me to use. Now two problems. One, I need to use a cron job, which addr is giving me grief over, and two, the resulting feed only makes a link to your page with the date of the entry, nothing of the entry content itself. The latter is easy to get around. The former, I'm working on it.
Totally irrelevant: my fluid balance is severely off, so I'm feeling more lethargic than usual. Lovely.
Must go finish coding fics... then look into tagboards.
Current mood emoticons. Love 'em or hate 'em?
Sorry, spammers forced my hand. Comments reviewed before being published.

I watched The Crow years ago with my cousins. Don't remember much of anything about it. Except that we were (for once) all six of us silent. and the we loved it.
I've wanted to watch it again, but...uh...not by myself?
And I've been looking at php, lord help me. I actually think that Nucleus could do what I want done if there weren't a bunch of added features that I don't need and the archive style was changed and no dates were taken. The fact that it handles different journals lets me think that I could easily access pages in the same sort of way. I'd just need to tweak it to let me inserte the thumb/link and the babbling on the side into the page without all the HTML coding tacked on everytime.
I wonder if I'm allowed to change stuff to suit my needs on the program as long as I don't distrubute it...it be nice for a beginning, until I'd gotten enough knowledge to build my own brain child.
And current mood emoticons? Good if they're not visually distracting. On some journals I read, I love looking to see what the person's feeling and what the different moods' look like-- and if the emoticon isn't something that everyone uses, is one that suits the identity of the person writing--they can be fun.

**is bemused and lost from all the code talk**
I think some of those emoticons are cute. Other than that, eh.
. . . well, that was pointless.
