Well, I’m currently working on a php project to process a log file, and the hardest part of it all is memory management. I had it set up to stick the information into an array, and then working with the array, but it will not work as is, unfortunately, without kicking up the allowed memory, but then I don’t know how much I’ll have to work with as the log file grows.

This project touches on issues I’ve never dealt with before, and it’s pretty much a whole new experience. I’m glad I know regular expressions.

I also have come to know VIM while working on this project. It’s a neat tool, but it’s so complicated that you can really mess things up if you don’t know how to use it. I tried to use gedit, but it’s already lost me an important file once while trying to save over the internet, and it almost happened twice, so I decided to go back to VIM.
