Hey Kirk… you probably don’t read this but…. let’s do this one. I’ll put it in our songbook.

It made me cry tonight. It’s so touching how George is singing to the unloved, encouraging them that ‘love comes to everyone’.

And I always thought those lines “something that’s never changing… something that’s never aging” were a pretty easy rhyme, nothing special, trite at worst. Another crappy pop song with a worn out theme. Not so, not so. George meant those. Think about it… “There in your heart…”

It also strikes me that the tune is recorded too slow on the album, as though something is on its way, but the wait is protracted. “It only takes time…”

Perl geeks only:

I didn’t know where to save this little tidbit just-in-case, so I chose here.

CGI::Untaint is great (especially with its cool subclasses) for untainting incoming CGI params, but what if you want to use it to untaint other variables that aren’t coming in as CGI params?

Do this:

	# untaint
        # stuff the variable into a CGI param
 	$cgiobject->param( -name=> 'remote_addr', -value=> $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} );
        # create an instance of a CGI::Untaint object
 	my $untaint = CGI::Untaint->new( $cgiobject->Vars );
        # perform the untaint, in this case requiring printable characters
	my $remote_addr = $untaint->extract(-as_printable => 'remote_addr');

… of Magickman, my first World of Warcraft character.

Dave just sent me this awesome high school flashback.

Also, Kirk and I returned from our trip to Montreal earlier this week. It was my first trip to the city and I got sore walking around so much. Plenty worth it, though.
