Remedial programming!

[elfs]

It has totally been remedial programming week for me. Between the work I'm doing for lib_oauth_signature(), in which I'm completely relearning the ins and outs of C (even before I start to get to the elegance phase), and the audit I've been doing for Omaha on her company, in which I'm finally teaching myself how to code in PHP (and have you seen PHP on Trax? Not the language I would choose, but totally an idiom to rock my world), it feels like I'm cramming for an exam in a class I didn't really sign up for.

And after these projects pop off the stack, there's still the image seam algorithm to re-implement for NetPBM.

And I'm still managing 500 words a day of story, whether I like it or not. I'm still managing to read some. My Japanese has slacked off a bit, and I've totally given up on television, video games, and smut.

The trade-offs we all make.

PHP on Trax looks like fun. I keep wanting to learn web app development.

By the power vested in me by the OAuth standards process (i.e., "not very much"), thanks for working on mod_auth_oauth.

Thanks, but at this point all I've done is reteach myself how to do qsort. Inelegantly and with a great deal of malicemalloc. Breaking it all down step by step: break the query_string, sort it, format it, reassemble it, that kind of stuff.

Whee.
