Approaching zero

I'm working on writing a thingy that takes log lines and puts them into various databases.

Of the 3 million lines in one day's logs, there are now only 233 which aren't matched by one of the regexps I've written so far. I think I'll call it a day.

(BTW, how bad is it when you can write a regexp of 16 lines (including some whitespace and comments) and it works straight off?)

Okay, I'm officially afraid of you now.

One with the Regexp.

I'm hurt. Why weren't you before?

[also-huey.livejournal.com]

Because before, you couldn't hurt me from the other side of the ocean. But, with a sixteen-line regex? You could probably pwnz0r my bank account and default my morgage and send all of my chat logs to my boss and send all of my wife and girlfriend email to my mom and take away my birthday and cancel Christmas and make cats and dogs sleep together and compasses stop working and fog roll in and a terrible storm come up and cause the total destruction of western civilization.

...at least, that's what happens when I try to write a sixteen-line regex. "Oh, pointy birds! Oh, pointy pointy..."

I just relayed that to Calle.

"So it's *his* fault!"

Yes, that is definitely more creepy than good or bad.

[ahruman.livejournal.com]

Pretty damn bad. In a good way.

If this is new databases to replace the vault-logs that RTEK made disappear, and if I have access to them, then you rule.

Who am I kidding, if you write regexp's with comments in them, then you totally rule even if I don't have access to the databases.


And by the way...

Hi !

I'm FRLU04, I've been lurking in your journal ever since I noticed your name on an e-mail at work. (I'm one of the cuti's)

BTW, with compliments like that, of course you'll have access to the database. I am easily influenced by compliments and chocolate.
