Moving away

So it's been awhile since I last made a post on this blog, and a lot has gone on since then. The biggest news is I got accepted at MNSU, which come August I will be starting school there. It's going to be an interesting time moving to the states, but I am very excited and as prepared as I possibly can be for this change.

Exam Week

So this is it....the final hurdle.....

1 down, 3 to go...

Edit: Super long delay, all done! Went pretty well.

C3DL Build System - 0.2 Release

Well, today is the day to drop the second release version of the build system for the C3DL library. In this new version I've updated the build system to allow users to decide whether or not they want to include the debugging utilities when they download the library.

Now I've been having some permission issues with matrix, so the actual web interface may or may not work...
You can give it a try in my test box over here C3DL Build System Tester.

All the source code and library files can be found in my github repo over here: Github Repo
*In the coming days I plan to move the system into the main C3DL repo at Cathy's request*

Looking forward to 0.3 Release, I'm planning to allow for more customization in regards to which parts of the library you can include / exclude. More on this as it develops!

Spawning a google map from a web page

I looked through some of the google maps API tutorials and found this bit of sample code that you can change around and modify to suit your needs. I've also made it so you can make a map pop up when you click on an object on your web page. Check out my mini demo here:

Dreaded ^M problem

Just making a quick post for myself in case I encounter this problem in the future

vi -b myfile.sh
:1,$s/^M//g

Quick info: when moving files from windows to unix you may end up getting funny character information in the file. In order to see these characters in vi, we've got to use the -b switch. The second command listed above will automatically find those symbols and remove them.

**The ^M is actually [ctrl]+v and [ctrl]+M**
