just keep tryin' ta get a little better

This is a follow-up post to the previous one. I have made some modifications so that you can have HTML tags in your text and my code will still work. I’ve packed the whole thing in a PHP5 class which you can get here. I wanted to put a demo up, but apparently I don’t [...]

Displaying user entered content on a web page can be a pain in the ass.

It was all very exciting; I learned new things, worked on web pages, had a lunch breaks, poped out for a fag every now and [...]

This is my fourth first blog post. I had my old page here before (which you can see here). Now there is this one, and knowing me this will probably the only thing written here for a long time. Unless, of course, it won’t be. I shall see. And this “new” page is not a [...]
