Daily del.icio.us Links Script for Wordpress 1.0

I’ve released a new version of my Daily del.icio.us Links Script for Wordpress. This new version introduces the use of the Net::Delicious and DateTime Perl modules to parse del.icio.us links and handle timezone differences between GMT and WordPress. As all known issues have been resolved and all basic functionality implemented, I am tagging this release version 1.0. Please refer to the latest “Links” post to see an example of the new version’s output.

Get the script here and check here if you need help.

Richard M. Stallman and Chris DiBona Pictures

I’ve uploaded pictures taken by CalLUG (UC Berkeley GNU/Linux Users Group) staff during the Richard M. Stallman and Chris DiBona speeches. Please click on either of the following thumbnails to browse the complete album.

Back in Business

Now that I’ve survived my first wave of midterms, I plan on devoting more time to my extracurricular activities.

I’ve noticed that my daily del.icio.us script for Wordpress is broken, so I’ll be updating it to work again, and I’ll be finally addressing the nagging issue of time sync in that script. I also just finished setting up a Xen server for the System Administration for the Web class, so I’ll be sharing my experiences building a Debian Xen server via a comprehensive Xen 2.0.7 HOWTO — one cannot begin to describe the lack of documentation for Xen. Lastly, I’ll be updating some projects that are currently off-limits to the public. I’ll be releasing more information about them when they reach a usable state.

Chris DiBona Speech

The UC Berkeley Linux Users Group will be hosting a speech by Chris DiBona, Open Source Program Manager for Google and a former editor of Slashdot, on October 17 from 6-8 PM at 306 Soda. As with all CalLUG events, the speech is open to the public and there will be no cost to attend.

If you’re interested in Linux and learning about the latest Google technology, be sure to come!

Planned Class Schedule

I’m thinking about taking the following courses next semester:

Chem Eng 150A
Chem Eng 142
EE 40
CS 61B
Math 55

For some reason, this reminds me of myself two years ago…

UPDATE: Due to a rescheduling of Chem Eng 142 lectures, I’ve decided to take MCB 102 instead of Math 55. However, I do plan on attending Math 55 lectures and learning the material in hopes that I’ll be able to waive completion of the course as a requirement for CS 170.

Downtime

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you’ve probably noticed that this site has been experiencing a lot of downtime in the past few days. My server hosting provider has recently installed a new firewall, which has been randomly blocking incoming Internet access. While it appears that they have finally been able to take control of the situation, I am greatly disappointed by their slow response time and their lack of communication with their customers.

I’m currently searching for a better VPS hosting provider. Any suggestions?

Midterm O-Rama

I’m going to be inundated with midterms and projects in the coming weeks:

09/26 MSE 120 Midterm
10/04 ESPM 167 Project
10/06 Chem 104A Midterm
10/06 MSE 102 Midterm
10/10 Chem Eng 141 Midterm
10/18 ESPM 167 Midterm

I really wish the university would establish rules for the staggering of midterms. Wish me luck!
