so i mentioned earlier that i’d write a program that solved the word puzzle that had you spot words within a word. i did, problem is this.

my webserver is a 110mhz sparstation 5. im running a 2 year old version of debian. in debian years, that’s probably the second youngest release since their development cycle appears to be a release once every 2 years. im runnin an old version of thttpd on the machine. apparently the CGI timeout is a lil too short. a 2.4mb dictionary file is a lil too much for my workstation to handle, as it took 9 minutes to solve “loath”. i at first thought it was just the browser timing out, but upon further inspection, it appeared the program was being killed after maybe a minute. so i gotta do an update, if not a homemade install. argh!

damn thttpd developers put configuration options that cannot be set via a script or command-line. who does that?! compile time only config options?! i dont mean compiling with support for certain features, i mean the CGI_TIMELIMIT cannot be set manually. i will eventually be switching to lighttpd on a gentoo box. im tired of dealing with a half-assed debian system. once you go gentoo, you never go back.

on a more positive note, i won that mario paint game! not too shabby for $7.

on, on a parting note, read this: clicky-click
