Site Updates
As you can see, the calendar on the left is now gone. It seems a little blank without something at the top, so feel free to suggest any ideas.
Additionally, the New and Improved Ancient1 and Mysterious Link of Randomness is now available. It's considerably more random than mod_random was (provided of course you don't click them too close together). Clicking it too fast will trigger mod_dosevasive though, so if you click it a bunch of times and get a 403 page, that's why. In cases like that you'll be unblacklisted about 10 seconds after your last page request.
I found the strangest thing while writing that script. It seems that Debian doesn't include CGI::Response in any of it's perl libraries. They include CGI::Request in the main CGI library, but not Response. This is despite the fact that according to CPAN this library hasn't been changed in almost eight years. I know Debian is often slow to integrate new packages but that's just ridiculous, guys!
Finally, on a non-system related note, there's something about the phrase "You got your crappy sci-fi all over my fantasy RPG" that just cracks me up.
1 I'm well aware that something can't be both new and ancient. Just work with me here.
Three entries in one day; I think I need to stop writing for a while.
Your habit of updating frequently is my primary source of entertainment. You can't stop, unless you convince Nancy to update more often in your stead.
(Yay! I have a purpose now!)
Well then, you'll be glad to know there's already another entry almost completed and ready to go up. I'll probably post it sometime tomorrow whenever I get bored. Now if only I could apply the same kind of dedication to my thesis...
