tcpipAn extraordinarily dull past several days. Have spent a great deal of time converting html websites pages to php, which was tiresome but necessary. In the process have learned more about sed which is a really useful and powerful tool. Sat two CCNA module tests on Tuesday; router configuration and Cisco Disovery Protocol. Having scored a seriously lacklustre 80.4% for the first test I decided to concentrate on the second and received a more acceptable 95%.
Finished my marketing and media course for Prosper Australia with very positive feedback. Tomorrow they're putting my ideas into practical action with a planning day. In all probability they'll be launching a campaign against payroll tax (which really is one of the most stupid taxes on the planet).
In an attempt to entertain myself, I'm still working my way through Icewind Dale II whilst![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
damien_wise and I have corresponded about graphic MUD development. He knows some good programmers, so perhaps something will eventuate out of this.

I wonder why a GUI version hasn't been developed? That would be so cool.

Among my many strange computing books I actually have a copy of the BBEdit 5.0 user's guide (which I picked up in Masterton, NZ - a town of 10,000 people and - literally - 1,000,000 sheep for 50c). However I don't own a Mac :/

perl -pe "s/.html/.php/g" *.php
You know what? I think I liked it too. Kinky, huh?
