Body: Have been working on book, "Javascript AntiPatterns". Do NOT use the null string "" for text validation, it allows spaces. Instead use the regular expression /\S+/

Body: Discussed ed's colorimetry project. Talked with Matt Gushee about his OCaml project. Hmm... may have to pick up a new language. Drank too much coffee. Thought about actually doing something. Meta planning... yeah, that's where its about.

Body: I decided to use a client server model for a web crawler I am writing in Perl. I have been having no luck getting the original model of forking off a series of child processes and sharing a common array between them all with the IPC libraries on my laptop.

Body: Fixed Mike's XFree86 configuration problem. Apparently, SuSE 8.1 will automatically configure the framebuffer on the first console and that caused problems with the ATI Rage Mobility P/M chipset. This is yet another reason for beginners to avoid SuSE since having the framebuffer device is nothing but useless eye-candy during the boot-up sequence and it caused serious conflicts (screen corruption) with XFree86. Note that the Rage Mobility is an incredibly popular laptop chipset and this would NOT have been a problem (everything would have "just worked") with Red Hat or KRUD. Spent time talking with Percy about GSXM and FFTs as implemented in FFTW. Also enjoyed some yummy coffee and caught up on email.

Body: Fiddled with doing kernel compiles out of /dev/shm, tried out xchat instead of ChatZilla, went to see very cool equipment at Ed's lab. The accompanying discussion was more fun than the actual HS meeting (though that was pretty cool too).

Body: Enjoyed the conversations and the Belgian chocolate flavored coffee. Looked at a demo of Percy's Gxsm (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gxsm) and was impressed. Wrote something like two whole lines (!) of code for my X-ray tomograph simulator. Really enjoyed the after-meeting talk where Jonathan suggested a slick idea for platform alignment with a laser and photodiode.

Body: * Configured Airport on PBG4/Debian first time at Higher Grounds! Thanks Ed for some tips! Didn't work in the beginning (dhcp, ifconfig, ... all looked good but no ping possible...), worked with OS9 and then it worked w Linux as well:-) ?? * Had a long talk about USB SRanger linux kernel module stuff with Jax@well.com... * And finally I updated the Gxsm website with some RedHat-8.0 tips: "howto get it compiled and working"
