So lately with work, I’ve been having to come up with some scripts to do some repetitive things on customer sites. Most are one-off scripts, but either way, it’s been both a blessing and a curse. Blessing because I’m coding things, curse because I’m using some tools I’m not used to, such as Awk. With that in mind, I’ve decided that I should probably start brushing up on my script-fu. It used to be, back at work in PA, when I had a task where a script was involved, I’d break out some Perl and throw something together. I can’t really remember the last time I’ve had to use Perl. It’s been about two years now, I estimate.

As I find some resources, I’ll share them here, or else on my delicious.com account. Keep an eye on the lifestream page to see what I’ve been tagging, uploading, or tweeting about.
