So you test all your cans on the little magnet, and throw the sticky ones in the 'steel' box and the non-sticky ones in the 'aluminium' (or aluminum) box. You're doing your bit for the environment - preserving the planet and its atmosphere.

A simple statistical analysis of your data shows that Sunday is significantly lower than other days, but the variation of other days is consistent with a random Poisson process with constant mean.
I fitted a generalised linear model with weekday as explanatory variable and count as response. Here's the table of coefficients:
See that Sunday has a star for significance, and a negative coefficent (-0.11073) showing it is lower than the baseline (Friday, which has coefficient zero in effect, and so isnt listed).
The other days dont show any significance. Think of the Estimate column plus/minus twice the Std Error column. If this includes zero, then its pretty much insignificant.

Murphy's law will apply and the thing that causes your system to crash wont be trapped by whatever magic you try to log it with! We recently had a machine that would just power-down without warning. I eventually discovered it happened after intensive CPU load for about 20 mins, figured maybe it was some heating problem, kicked up the sensors package and spotted the CPU temp heading into egg-frying temperatures. It seems the BIOS would just protect its motherboard by shutting down. The kernel had no chance to report anything.

blu-tak is also useful for sticking screws to screwdrivers when putting them back into awkward spots. A blob on the screw head, stick it to the screwdriver, then it only takes one hand to get the thing in. Useful in awkward cases where you cant get two hands to the job, and you cant rely on magnetism..
I think Blu-tak/Blue-tack is a trademark, other tacky gooey things in different shades of colours are available!

Take the null pointer dereferencing thing. All this program seems to do is see if there's a possible path for null-pointer dereferencing. It has no clue as to whether this is logically going to happen. For example:
The software claims that tag could be null on line 2823. But thats only if on return from ap_ssi_get_tag_and_value that tag is a NULL pointer and tag_val is non-NULL. If ap_ssi_get_tag_and_value cant return these conditions then this is not a defect.
If anything its a red flag, in case the return values of ap_ssi_get_tag_and_value could satisfy that condition.
I suspect the following code will be flagged as a defect:
char *tag=NULL; doOrDie(&tag); strcmp(tag,"do");
as long as doOrDie() does its job and never returns a NULL then where's the defect? The guys who wrote this tester seem to want you to check any pointer dereferencing against NULL before use - I might be doing this in my doOrDie() function, I dont want to have to do it twice.
But keep that open-source feeling by reading something free from project gutenberg. Get the text onto your Palm or other PDA and no need to carry dead trees around with you.

How many people use this mythical 'extra desk space' that an LCD apparently gives them? Surely its just that empty space behind your LCD screen where the bulk of your CRT used to be? Its an invisible, hard-to-get-to space which isn't somewhere you really want to put stuff!
The only saving is that now you can have a thinner desk and have the LCD up against the wall - but that only means the pointy-hairs can squeeze more of you into the same cubespace.

Dont forget that tcsh has two concepts of 'variables' - shell variables and environment variables.
/home/me/bin)
/usr/bin:/home/me/bin
In tcsh, you shouldn't muck with environment variable PATH, you should set shell variable 'path' instead, eg
set path=(/usr/bin
instead of
setenv PATH
bash has only variables, which, if 'export'ed, become part of the environment.
