I need a job :-(

Based in USA, my resume at http://www-scf.usc.edu/~phanse/resume.pdf

In short: Perl, Apache, MySQL, Linux. (Ideal for CGI-ness)

Well that's odd. I wake up and find the computer stuck at the BIOS password prompt. I *know* I shut down last night. Apparently there was no power failure, either. Wake-on-LAN was diabled, I think.

When coding anything with (context=database) records, be sure to have add, edit, and delete functions for everything. If you don't need them, you can remove them later, but have the functions in your design.

Saves a lot of time, when you decide that all you need is updates, and you end up needing add and delete.

Better yet, listen to the professor and spend a week in design.

when doing this:
tptr=head;
while(tptr!=NULL) {
  /*do stuff */
  }

don't forget the freakin' tptr=tptr->next;

Practice what you preach:
z2=zones;
while(z2->next!=NULL)   {
       if(isneigh(n2,z)==1)    ourneigh=1;
       }

i can't believe i did it again!
n=neigh;
while(n!=NULL) {
  /* stuff */
  }

there is no n=n->next;

:-( time to sleep, i'll be better in the morning. Note: Must have sugar water while coding late in the night.

Well, that was easy. I coded up the leave() function, and surprise, surprise, it worked the first time around. Yay me. Now I'm doing the query timeout-ness.

Just realised that we can't simply quit when the manager quits -- we have to wait until all our queries are done, then if term is 1 set it to 2, end while loop when term==2, and call leave just before setting term to 2.

In other news, weapons inspectors have landed in Iraq... nonono, wrong "other".

In other news, I intend to work on zig in December, maybe get some xp out of it.

No need to call leave(), it will have already been called at that point -- oop, better not call adjtimeout if term==1, and better check for q1->found==0 after the while loop.
