What's Your Current Project?

Well my weekend BASH scripting project has gone well. I have that script running on seven concurrent threads at the moment and processing millions of bits of data. Pretty cool. It's BASH-powered MySQL data collection.
-
My weekend project was to integrate our company with our parent company on MPLS line, complete office recabling and changing the phone system (from trixbox to their alcatel). Sleepless nights and finally its over!
Need to move on to some pending linux server works.
-
My overnight scripts, running in eight threads each with its own core, is still going and only about halfway through its job! That server is quite busy.
-
Finally done getting a WordPress site up to help a friend-of-a-friends band out.
(Nightmare, don't get me started.)Picked up a nice little SFF workstation, but it's been sitting for a bit because I'm indecisive.
I've really wanted to check out CodeCombat honestly haha, might have to dig into that later.
-
servers are in. gonna play with them soon
-
@Hubtech I'm a hardware junkie, anything neat?!
-
@MattKing Older stuff. setting up a home lab. 2x HP GL360 G5's
-
@Hubtech A bit dated, but they're still capable with the 5400 series Xeons.
-
G5's are really quite good. Memory is the real issue.

Back to learning some Perl and how to operate one of my Company's software offerings (which lacks better documentation or tutorials). Plugging my way through it trying to understand. Realizing that I'm not a CAD Designer.......

I never enjoy Perl. BASH, Python, Ruby, JavaScript.... all way more fun.

@scottalanmiller my problem is that existing scripts are not very well documented and easy to understand. They were slapped together by many people over the years and just seem to be confusing to me. I feel bad for constantly asking questions but it's what I have to do in order plug through them. And I'm not a programmer. Never have been. I know just enough to read a little and understand just as much.

That's a reason that I avoid Perl. Not very good at being self documenting.
-
@scottalanmiller Well some of the "newer" ones that I see have been cleaned up. They set variables at the very begging, use comments and curly braces appropriately. But the original that I'm supposed to work with to 'learn' from, is not. And on top of that, no formal documentation exists to show anyone how this is done, other than go bug someone to pick their brain. And even then it doesn't quite make sense.

Seeing that we just moved into a new house in February, I have lots of projects. This past weekend is was landscaping the front yard.
Turns out the previous owners had a rock garden. So my next project is to put together the "Gorilla Cart" I bought at Home Depot, make a sifting table, and then go through the piles of rock-laden dirt I now have in my backyard (from the front yard). Will re-use the rocks as borders around the different landscaping elements and spread the extra dirt around the yard.
I know, not really IT projects, but this is where my extra time is going right now.

I got in to Perl via the EverQuest Emulator project because the quests were all wrote in Perl. Right as I got comfortable with using it, the project implemented Lua for the quest system. I love this language. It is some much better to write in. The server source code is all C++. This is what I do for a hobby to expand my programming skills beyond VB.Net
