I’ve written a shell script to bulk update PHP pages, replacing ereg, eregi with preg_match, ereg_match with preg_match, split with preg_split and changing the $HTTP globals to their modern versions. I haven’t seen this anywhere else, so I’d thought I should post something here.

A few more films over the past week: the very funny Bachelorette, a Palestinian film Love During War Time and a time-travelling drama/comedy Safety Not Guaranteed.

This week I have launched a new ecommerce website: BOT5.
It is actually a relaunch a website that went live in 2007 – but this one works and looks great! If you need a TV, an iPhone speaker or similar, check this out as everything is very well priced.

I am already falling behind with my film listing. I saw Argo last week both at the local cinema. Excellent film with tension sustained throughout much of the film. It always helps to have a good story to tell and this was a one of them.

Two more films seen over the last two nights. The Words on Tuesday plus I scored a comp ticket to Cockatoo Island for the Australian premier of The Master.

I’m 31 and it’s time to see how many different films I see in a year at the cinema. On 31y +1d I saw the French film Intouchables. The week has hardly started and I’m off to a premier tomorrow. In the meantime, I may see another film this evening while the tickets are cheap.

Once SpamAssassin is enabled, you can easily set an Email Filter to clear out your spam…
Filter: Any Header that matches regex "X-Spam-Score: ([2][1-9]|[3-6][0-9])"
Destination: "spam_holding_account@yourdomain"
Filter: Any Header that matches regex "X-Spam-Score: ([7-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9]{2,})"
Destination: "Discard"Unlike the other options shown in the email filtering, this actually does the job without freezing up. Using the score numbers (and not regex) fails when there are no SpamAssassin headers present in an email.
