Crazy Apple Rumors Site: Broken CD Carrier Used As Justification For Purchase Of New G5.
Cnb pointed me to this sad tale of a man who went into the store to buy a CD case and came out with a new G5, IPOD and Cinema Display. Total cost: $4,185 plus tax
It’s probably a joke, but still […]

Rules of debate: No asking each other questions
A pretty funny read. Good stuff to keep in mind while watching the “debate”
The most stupid points are the ones regarding what the camera’s can show… “No reaction shots of one candidate when the other candidate is answering a question.“.
My theory is that the candidates will […]

e-gold… gold itself, circulated electronically
I’m thinking about opening an e-gold account, but except for this old wired article, I haven’t found any service reviews.
Everything looks pretty straightforward except for the fees page. Since they only use grams and troy ounces of the different metals, it’s difficult to see exactly what you are paying.
Spend Fee schedule […]

UtterlyBoring.com: Biblical Laws for Children
Very funny set of “Biblical” laws for children…
My favorites:
Laws When at Table: Sit just as I have told you, and do not lean to one side or the other nor slide down until you are nearly slid away. Heed me; for if you sit like that, your hair will go […]

Annie is an Artist Originally uploaded by aaronwormus.
I guess every parent is flabbergasted by what their kid can do.
Annie loves drawing but when I saw her butterfly, I couldn’t believe that she had done it. Fabulous! It’s better than I can do. I just need […]

Clint Laskowski, who happens to have a very cool domain name, sent me a tip on a new custom keyword for my list.
This keyword works with the del.icio.us social bookmark manager, and will bring up the del.icio.us page so that you can add it to your bookmark.
The process works like this.
1. You find a cool […]

We return to regular programming…
As discouraged as using register_globals is, most people who write about PHP will never admit that using register_globals is in itself is a security risk. Sloppy coding, coupled with […]

Which OS are You?

Quote of the day!
“You know you think about PHP too much when you notice it’s 5:01pm and wonder when it’s going to be 5:02″
In other news, there are a LOT of new entries up on the ZEND Contest page. I downloaded the “ExpenseManager” and was very impressed by its coolness!
I was horrified, however to […]

Anyone who hangs around the #phpc room on freenode, know how much I enjoy complaining about PHP annoyances. The fact of the matter is that because of PHP’s irregularities unless you have intimate knowledge of how a function works, it’s VERY difficult to predict its behavior.

explode(’\n’, $string);
strtok($string, ‘\n’);

Explode and strtok, are simple examples about […]

Albino Blacksheep / Flash / Squares 2
Simple yet VERY addicting game!

My Zend PHP Certification Study Guide arrived about 10 minutes ago. This short review is based on the information I absorbed from the book in a quick flip through the pages.
The first impression of the guide is the size of the book. It is very thin, a mere 223 pages, not counting the index. There […]

Leaky Tap - Internet.CustomKeywords
I decided that since this page is getting over a thousand unique visits a month it’s time to put up a google banner. I’ve been wanting to do it for a while, but now that I finally got it up I see that google just serves one of their won banners, rather […]

This page boasts about how easy it is to set up, so I’ve been trying to register a domain name with it just to see how it worked. I found out each time that it just doesn’t.
Anyone else get it working? Or […]
