Even Mac gurus have this problem.

I had signed up for an iTunes music account a long time ago maybe perhaps even when it was announced. Then I signed up for a Mobile Me account before it became iCloud. Then I most likely have a Japanese iTunes account. And I think I have a work one, too. I just have too many Apple ID accounts.

And there is no way to resolve them being one. No way.

Today’s link finds Daring Fireball himself stuck trying to navigate the multiple Apple ID accounts. He’s getting ads for services he’s already bought and it’s because of the multiple IDs that has confused him.

I, too, am confused by it all.

One of my favorite programming things is regular expressions. What are regular expressions? Well, they’re patterns mainly used to search text files particular words. It’s a code for how to find a needle in the haystack. My favorite is Perl regular expressions. I like programming in Perl because I like using it for searching for text in a file and processing that text into what I need to do. I hate when your search feature doesn’t use Perl regular expressions. (I am looking at you sed.)

Today’s link is to help you to use regular expressions. I think I have to read this, too.

I think I like train travel. I haven’t really done much, and in America it really doesn’t work, but it is very intriguing to me. I’ve done a few train trips before — once from Paris to Barcelona, a trip into Munich, trips to New York. It’s a small sample size, I know, but still I find it highly interesting.

So today’s link get’s you to see all the American routes of Amtrak. It does show you how to get from one side of the country to the other by the terrible American train network.

Gonna post this the day before so that you have enough time to prepare. Yet, I don’t think one day is enough. So anyway, get your Bill and Ted on as tomorrow is a day to celebrate this pair.

I want to ziggy-piggy a large sundae, do some jazzercise, and head to the nearest Circle K.

But I want you to be excellent to everyone and to party on!
