Daily notes that won’t necessarily happen every day. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer.
PHP may not be my favorite language, but the last couple of years have seen profound improvement. I got the urge to start playing with Zend Framework last week. It isn’t too shabby. Yesterday Zend made a 1.0 release, which is a good milestone for PHP types to learn about MVC and ACLs etc. You know, other than the ones who are already using CakePHP. You’re probably doing just fine.

I haven’t been on the Rebol3 AltME world for a few weeks, mainly because AltME isn’t working correctly on Linux.

The host switch broke my contact form. That’s okay, though. I wasn’t happy with it in the first place. I’m just using a plain old email link for now. Sure, it’ll put gmail’s spam filter through the wringer, but it’s quick and easy.
The old Web host was fine, but I have been missing A2 Hosting recently. I just set coolnamehere under them. While I’m at it, this blog is officially the coolnamehere site news blog - in addition to the general geekiness you’ve been seeing here lately.
