Da Morning.

I'm up early for a change, since I want to head into down while rush-hour transit is still happening. As a result I'll probably be away-from-keyboard until late tonight, so use my Cell number if you gotta contact me.

And now, for those of you who are more adept at inebriated perambulation than I, here's an online game to test your skills:

I only got 13 meters, but it was my first try!

70 meters... didn't quite make it back home

[joenotcharles.livejournal.com]

4 meters twice in a row, before I realized the arrow keys were doing absolutely nothing and I was supposed to use the mouse. Then 15.

[labyrinthman.livejournal.com]

Thats tough to beat... I got 72 meters once... after that have been consistently topping out at 66-70

[xipetotec.livejournal.com]

55 Meters here...

62 meters....took me 3 tries. Shum fun. Now back to *hic* work...*hic*

[sps.livejournal.com]

Right. 8m the first time, 68m the second.

Got to around 75m when I found out that this game is really hard to play while drinking ;-)

Not alcohol, though, as I'm still at work... oh, wait... that excuse doesn't work where I'm at these days...

I just somehow managed to get 87 metres. It does get pretty hard after about 70 though, doesn't it?

Another off-point question

Hi there,
Do you know how one could batch-email files from MS-Windows (XP)?
What would be the best or easiest utility in which to write
a script? I have my own IP address and could probably set up
a Netscape/Mozilla email client. I'd like to hose some of my personal
files to my Yahoo email account in order to back them up, and I'm
putting the directory structure and filename in the Subject line
so that when I view my messages in Yahoo, it looks like my Explorer
file list in Windows. It's tedious to email one file at a time of
course, so I had the brilliant idea that it must be possible to
automate this. I did a bit of a search and came up with some shareware
at http://www.robotask.com/ that I could try, and some idea on
Sourceforge called yohoho (on which no work has been done, however)
(search on "batch email" - Require All Words), but I thought I'd ask
you. What would be the best thing for me to read up on in order to
find out how to do this?
Best regards,
-Jim

Not sure, really. I would probably write a utility in Perl to do this. It wouldn't be much more than a screenfull of code.

OK, thanks. Do you know if Java would do it?

Depends on the java libraries. I don't know if there's any decent java libraries for sending emails, although I would suspect so. (The libraries have been completely changed twice since I last worked in Java).
