Fun With Wordage

As if this isn’t just an invitation for hackers [Link]. Voting with Windows. Yikes. That’s like asking for a hacker to take advantage.

I seem to be spending more and more time in Bugzilla.

Nuff said. It’s hot. I’m tired.

function what_to_do() {
     if ( !$blogging == "important"){
          print "Getting Some Sleep";
     }
}

Well, the computer is always right. Time to sleep.

Several Key developments today:

• Site Status Page is now working. The first template with any form of logic. Sitting on staging, and performing exactly as planned (thanks to CMS system’s creator’s help).
• WAP Authentication is now roughed in, and working. This opens up a whole new can of worms. I found several inefficiencies, and tons of bad coding in the system while working to put this in. It’s patched for now. But before MV Authentication 1.4 goes into full production use (like it isn’t in “production” use now), it’s going to need some reworking on login and logout.
• Breakdown of work to be done (TONS OF IT). Should cruise when I’m off from work and hanging out home with family.
• Lots of other little “tweaks” to the already templated pages, as well as file system layout.
• New IDE is making life a lot easier. Coding has never been so easy. And to think there was a time when I used Simple Text. Then BBEdit Light, then PHP Edit (which I still like, but is way to buggy).
• To go with the above, download (and backup) of entire website file system including CMS.

WML can be a real pain in the nuts. I still can’t get forms going right. At least programming for the Palm OS, and other small screen HTML capable devices will be a piece of cake.

Thankfully the authentication system is a lot cleaner now. If it wasn’t this would be a disaster. I still know there is some code cleanup to do, but that can be done after MV 4.0 launches. Get rid of those bloated function, and have some clean code.

Ugh! WML is a pain in the nuts.

On the plus side, MacVillage.net 4.0 will require authentication (must have a free account) to use it, and the T68i, as well as other “strict” devices will now function/function properly. Rather than mess up, or generate errors.

I found this just histerical. On vacation I found a pamphlet for horse back (is that a hyphenated word?) riding on the beach… sounds interesting right? Ok, most likely not. But here’s the funny part.

On the back it clearly notes that “Weight limit is 200 lbs”.

So what’s worse? Being cruel to an animal while some obease 12 year old girl rides a horse on a beach… Or discriminating against the 12 year old fat girl, becuase we all know it’s “genetic”, even though she plans on eating a jar of mayonaise while horse back riding… as a snack of course. She doesn’t eat to much between meals.

Also noteworthy is:

“This activity is not suitable for the physically or mentally impaired. In otherwords… if the horse can beat you in a round of jepordy… no ride for you.

Opie & Anthony still have their following. Great link here.

The boys will be back before you know it. I’m positive of it.

Sidenote: Stephen Lynch just finished up his tour. Hopefully he will do some stuff in NYC soon, so I can go see him after work or something.

Slashdot has the story. Apparantly this might be a strange day. I’ll be keeping a close eye on MacVillage.net just in case.

I’m really not in the mood for this.

Asa notes the release of Mozilla 1.4, and it’s ability to bring better tools to developers….

He’s right. It’s good news. Better programming on behalf of web developers means better websites for everyone.

Not to mention the tools are great. They make web development much easier. The first thing I do when there is a problem is reach for my Mozilla.
