I fixed some bugs and added some graphs &#8211; thanks to a free utility called <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"Ploticus\" href=\"http:\/\/ploticus.sourceforge.net\">Ploticus<\/a>.  I also added two new reports &#8211; the YTD summary and a category detail report.  Finally, I added spiffy headings with another free utility called <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"Figlet\" href=\"http:\/\/www.figlet.org\/\">Figlet<\/a>.

I know Perl would do this kind of thing very nicely, but I just don&#8217;t know it well enough &#8211; or C for that matter.  The only complaint I have about it now is the speed &#8211; the reports take around 5-10 seconds to generate.  I&#8217;m not sure why, but I use stuff like cat, grep, and awk extensively.<br \/>\nAnyway, if anyone wants to download and critique my program, shoot me an email.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep, I&#8217;ve been programming for almost 3 days straight &#8211; although I did take breaks to read to Jill and mountain bike with her this morning.
