Since I am on a public access UNIX server, perhaps I should get more into the spirit of the thing as a programmer. I have a nasty tendency of learning things halfway at best before abandoning them, and I could really use a C refresher as well as becoming comfortable with AWK. I have some ideas brewing on how to proceed, but I want to see if I can stick to it for any length of time before I say more. Besides, what else am I supposed to phlog about?
