So, I recently upgraded my Ubuntu install to Edgy. One of the packages I have installed is php4-cli, which I use specifically for testing sample code. Well, when I went to run it, I found this little nasty popping up:

 

PHP Warning:  mime_magic: type regex            
BEGIN[[:space:]]*[{]    application/x-awk invalid in Unknown on line 0

 

Looks like there is a defect open with the debian folks, but it says to uncomment a line out in /usr/share/file/magic.mime. However, for Ubuntu, this should be commented out. The line that needs to be commented out is:

 

0      regex           BEGIN[[:space:]]*[{]    application/x-awk

 

Upon doing so, php will run on the CLI without producing the warning.

Last night, I finally made it home again! Back to Bozeman, yay! However, it's short lived... This Friday I'm leaving for Sydney, Australia until 20th December. It's a lot colder here then it was in Los Angeles, but it's not bad. When I was in London it was getting to -20c, which is just plain miserable.

Five days home I guess is just enough time to do laundry, run a few errands and get ready to leave for another month. If I have some time, I'll try and post some photos.

This week, I'm in Los Angeles. I had my first Virgin Atlantic experience (LHR to LAX) and it is hands down the best airline I've even flown with. They really know how to take care of their customers! Plus, the food wasn't bad either... better then some non-airline meals I've had.

So, this week I'm attending a C# training course with a friend/co-worker. Should be great! This friend has a similar love for sushi, so I know we'll be hitting that up a few times! I found a place this evening that was really good in Marina Del Rey.

After this week, I'm heading home... finally! It's been quite the journey. I'm really looking forward to seeing some friends.

Well, the project is wrapping up this week, so this weekend was my last in London; At least for a while. Sunday was absolutely gorgeous out and I ended up going to Hyde Park for most of the afternoon. Afterwards, I decided I better get some more pictures, since I'm not sure when I'll be coming back next. A short tube ride over to Embankment and I was ready!

I am quite pleased with the results! I was hoping to ride the London Eye, but the line was really really long. Although, it was Sunday, so maybe sometime this week. I don't fly back to the States until Saturday afternoon, so I just need to make the time.

Next week I'm in LA for a week long C# training course put on by a Microsoft partner, which I'm really looking forward to. One of my mates took it last week here in London and said it was really good. After that I finally am coming home!!!! YAY!!! It'll be nice, but it will also be cold... the weather forecasts I keep seeing have been showing snow, ugh. Oh well, it will still be good to be home.

This past weekend I drove up to Bedford with a friend from work and his flatmate, both of which are DJ's (asphy , pegsy). Our purpose was going to a Hardcore rave at The Angel. That was one thing I really wanted to do while I was here; go to a good show. Being more into trance then hardcore the music was a bit harder then I'm used to, but it was good none the less. Hopefully I'll get a chance to go to another one before I head back to the states!
