While there aren’t any actual toddling pictures here, Gabe has really started walking around. He hasn’t given up crawling yet, but he stands up on his own two feet and gets around pretty good when he chooses.

bturnip email is having some technical difficulties

I am suspecting that the recent migration of Digitalspace servers is causing hiccups with bturnip.com email. I am getting some email from some accounts, but nothing is coming in for my main bturnip account. I have been able to send mail out, just not get anything back. In the meantime, try my bturnip at gmail account.

Inserting newlines with AIX sed

The problem: A file needs to have newlines inserted at the end of a record. The current record delimiter is the word “END”. My version of sed doesn’t recognize inserting “n” or “r”.
Solution: Use sed and tr

sed -e 's/END/+/g' original.txt | tr "+" "n" > new.txt
The trick is making sure my orignial substitution {+} isn’t in the orignial file, easily checked by grep -c "+" original.txt
