stretching my brain

hoo boy. there's some log processing i want to do on my html logs, so i figured i'd write a perl script to do it.

i am so *not* a programmer. or even a script-thug. so this is being good brain-stretching. i'm sitting around with a drink and a copy of "programming perl". it's very slow going, since i haven't done anything like this in a while.

i generally learn enough to do whatever it was that i wanted to do and then forget most of what i learned. so i have to re-climb the learning curve enough to write this.

*grin* thank you!

but then i wouldn't climb the learning curve, which is most of the reason i'm doing this!

That sounds like my learning process.
