I had need to convert some files today from being newline-separated (one line per file, key-value pairs) to ‘###’-separated. In other words, instead of this:
foo=bar

foo=bar###smith=wibble###neo=smith

Feels Good To Code

Written by Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper. No comments Posted in: Life in General

Just had to say… it certainly feels great to get into the midst of code I’ve never seen before, debug a problem, find the solution, test it, and submit a patch to the author. Man I wish I had more time for coding at home. Maybe God will let me code in heaven [...]
