Lainen’s father has a cat, Onyx, that has been with him since she was a kitten (some 17 years now) and for the last couple days she has been throwing up soon after eating – so this morning we took her to the vet to see what’s up. The only thing the vet could find wrong was that she is a bit dehydrated and her stool seemed hard so they gave some sub-cutanious (sp?) fluids and told us to start giving her some Metamucile daily. Tomorrow they will get the blood work back to see if anything else is lurking inside her. Today at work was another “let’s change direction and prepare for an installation” day. joy At home lainens is really worried about one of her long time friends - she’s been in the hospital where they are trying to stabilize her so they can take a look at a possible hemmorage (sp?) in her head. So with that worry and now the worry with Onyx she is in a funk. :( On the code side of the fence, a “project":http://www.once.net.nz/ friend pointed me to “libtc":http://libtc.sourceforge.net/ that has a configuration file reading/parsing set of routines all written in C with no other dependencies – sweet. It even keeps any comments that are in the file when it writes any new information back out. I had been planning on paper a set of routines that would do the same and was going to use bison and the like to generate a parsing engine but as usual someone else on the internet has already done it. Now to rip out some very ugly config handling code in dircproxy that has been preventing us from allowing dynamic reloading of values.
