getting there
August 17th, 2003The daemon processing framework is written. I can accept requests on any port using XML-RPC. The daemon supports a very small subset of HTTP… just enough to get by. It knows how to ignore the first line of the request, parse the headers and look for Content-Length and then get the content. I haven't decided what is better: grab only Content-Length bytes, grab all the bytes and ignore Content-Length, or yell and scream if they differ from one another.
Next step, write functions that do all the odd little jobs and connect them via XML-RPC. Ugh. I hate coding.
I cleaned the kitchen, again. How many times can a person clean the kitchen in one day? I also put in a load of laundry. Now I'm going to go check the mail. Jess gets an incredibly large amount of mail every day (… don't ask …) so if we don't check it every day, it gets too full to get more mail. Jess usually takes care of it. I checked it on Wednesday, the day she left. I haven't done it since. Ooops. Don't tell, okay?
After that I'm getting out of the house. I haven't left all day. I've just stared at this screen, or the one in the living room, hoping the motivation to churn out a few lines of code would hit me. It never did. I'm not sure where I'm going. It's too hot to get out of the car for more than 30 seconds… so… maybe I'll just drive a lot.
