More cookies .... mmmm

Well, hello again :) What with all this actual doing work thing, I hardly wrote anything in here yesterday! Still, probably a good thing. The doing work, not the neglect of my journal. So, for those of you following the saga of my work, I solved my cookie problem! It turns out that even though URLs are not case sensitive, cookies set by them are! So I set the cookie in the /scr/ directory and tried to call it from /SCR/ and it didn't work. Now I'm not against case sensitivity per se but in reference to something which is not case sensitive it seems foolish.

Update: Further research shows that it's only the path which is case sensitive - so http://Server/scr/ is the same as http://server/scr/ but not the same as http://Server/SCR/ as far as cookies are concerned. Weird.

Extravagance

Hmmm. Maybe I shouldn't meet up with mentalsuz in Borders! I went past the philosophy section on the way to the loo and was seduced by a book called the Theory of Vagueness - well, with such a great title, I had to buy it! Unfortunately, cos it's an academic text, it costs a fortune. Ah well. It' really interesting though. It's about what we mean when we use vague words in language. For example, suppose I have a heap of sand. If I take one grain away, I've still got a heap right. But if I continue to do this ad-infinitum I will end up saying that one grain is a heap. So when does it stop becoming a heap? What, in fact, does heap actually mean. Soon, I'll be able to tell you :)

So there you are. And I saw a book written by my philosophy tutor at uni! I nearly went for that as well, but it was on a topic I've got a couple of books on already and so I didn't think I could justify another textbook price :( I wish I could afford to take a year or 3 out and do a philosophy degree.

Your brain is not big enough!

Well, having had a pretty productive morning, my brain seems to have decided that that's it's lot for now, leaving me unable to concentrate on anything, working through various little bits of admin that I couldn't be bothered to deal with when I was having annoying problems. I need a nice quiet night in, preferably with a hug...wait... Can't wait to go home :)
