At The Company Weekly Meeting it was decided that I should stop work on the daemon I'm writing [1] as we have a better way of doing what we're doing (no longer are we trying to get MySQL [2] to notify an external application of updates). I'm not upset at the loss of the work I've done so far since going in I knew this was exploratory programming and thus subject to change.
In other news, Smirk was impressed with the webpage I set up to view IP (Internet Protocol) address allocations [3], but as all too often with quick written hacks, it too is saddled with feature requests as it lurches its way towards being a major application (in this case, Smirk asked for half a dozen changes, some easy, some not so easy).
Looks like I'll be learning even more JavaScript now.
