I CALLED IT
It made me wonder, "what if the governor of Massachusetts ran for president?" Would we have the "Big Dig Across America"? That would be pretty boss.

don't even start it up
today is looking like one of those days.
the actual problem is almost so far removed from where i am right now, i can barely recall the software it's in, excepting that i am so angry at it i'll never forget it. nevertheless, it will remain nameless.
suffice it to say, it of course has directories which have spaces in their name (i couldn't find a link to some jamie rant about that), which of course breaks my cscope stuff which i rely on extensively to spelunk code i didn't write. which is to say, always.
so i decided to fix it! here's a patch to shaver's cscope-indexer script, for everyone that has been fortunate to work with someone from cfs:
--- /home/jacob/bin/cscope-indexer~ 2006-12-20 17:02:36.000000000 -0500 +++ /home/jacob/bin/cscope-indexer 2007-02-27 11:28:52.000000000 -0500 @@ -138,7 +138,7 @@ fi fi ) | \ egrep -i '\.([chly](xx|pp)*|cc|hh|js|py)$' | \ - sed -e '/\/CVS\//d' -e '/\/RCS\//d' -e 's/^\.\///' | \ + sed -e '/\/CVS\//d' -e '/\/RCS\//d' -e 's/^\.\///' -e 's/\\/\\\\/g' -e 's/"/\\"/g' -e 's/\(.*\)/"\1"/' | \ sort > $LIST_FILE if [ "X$VERBOSE" != "X" ]
(summary: escape \ and " with \ then enclose line with "s)
of course, this didn't work either since i'm the first person to ever imagine trying to do this; cscope 15.5 has some bug blah blah make sure you have cscope 15.6 etc.
at least it's lunch time.

a refreshing change
oh, and did anyone catch sunset 60 last night? with the new characters and plots it's like a "the departed: the college years." congratulations and kudos, sorkin, you've proven me wrong once again!
