I separated what I had so far into a separate class, so the main program will only contain code needed to turn the whole thing into a server. If I'm going to use C++, I might as well do it right.

I'm starting to get a little concerned about the file system. I've got close to 11,000 blogs indexed, which means I have around 33k files in one directory, and I'm a little nervous about going over that magical 32,768 threshold (for those who don't know int types often only go up to 32,768). I don't know if it's related, but linkdex took for ever to read in all the links, and CPU utilization stayed at <5% (which indicates that something else, like disk access, is preventing it from maximizng CPU usage). I think the solution is to split them up into a hierarchical structure... shouldn't be hard to do, but I might have to modify some of the existing code.

I watched a couple of movies today. I watched "State and Main" at MrHode's place. It was pretty funny, and there were some great one liners. A couple of my favorite (they might not be exactly right, but close enough):

It's not a lie, it's "gift for fiction".

Everybody has to make their own fun. Otherwise it's called "entertainment".

Then we went to the midnight movie at the El Ray, which was "Princess Mononoke". In general, I liked it, but I think I would've preferred a non-happy ending. Happy endings tend to gloss things over, and you know how much the "truth" means to me... Especially with a movie like Mononoke, it's pretty obvious that humans would not have returned the forest spirit's head. History has shown that humans would rather die trying to fulfill their greedy ambitions, than to make sacrifices for the greater good.

Cynical? Who, me? Never... I'm just realistic.
