Sheesh 
Sheesh it's been a long time since I've posted.

Linux upgrade 
This machine is now Fedora 10, after some weirdness for a few days. Maybe I can successfully break it with a yum upgrade now.

Mysql sort by frequency of items 
select distinct port, COUNT(*) as num from wmesseng group by port order by num desc;

In the case of my Windows Messenger Spam database,
it shows the count of which ports have been hit how many times:

+-------+-----+
| port | num |
+-------+-----+
| 58867 | 2 |
| 45953 | 2 |
| 45389 | 2 |
| 42420 | 2 |

I can just as easily change it for host:

select distinct host, COUNT(*) as num from wmesseng group by host order by num desc;
+----------------+-----+
| host | num |
+----------------+-----+
| 60.222.224.133 | 44 |
| 60.222.224.138 | 35 |
| 60.222.224.139 | 33 |
| 60.222.224.130 | 29 |

My mediocre PHP Python MySQL application 
http://bjenkins.no-ip.org/phptest.php

You can see a running log of servers that have attempted to pepper my Linux machine with Windows Messaging spam, where it came from, when, and what it said.

The server is Linux.
The page is Apache, using PHP.
The database is MySQL.
The receiver is Python, using Twisted.

So this is LAMPP, I guess.

It's over 
It's been a long time since I've written here. I underestimated how much of a toll two classes would take on me. It's been a long, difficult road, but it's over. The process has been difficult enough that I don't know if I'll even go on. I've gotten to the point that I've lost my zeal for CS, and I don't know why. Perhaps its the repetition of some things that I don't have trouble with, and the skimming over of things I do. Perhaps its impossibly-defined assignments. Perhaps I'm just changing as a person. I'm not sure which one it is.

I like to be a productive person, and after spending hours on a program that is summarily thrown into a wastebin, I feel I've wasted my time. That's why I will spend hours on a simple program that might not get me a grade, but will perform a useful function.

So where do I go from here? I guess I'm pretty certain not to continue down the path of an MS in CS. I don't see enough jobs out there that require it. What do the jobs require? I'm not sure the employers know. The HR manager just puts a punch of lofty-sounding terms on an ad, and they throw it out there.

Maybe it's just my mind's general malaise. Sometimes I feel the same sense of futility and waste about this page.
