More PHP madness

This morning’s little PHP adventure is to implement a nifty new PHP-based comment system called dotcomments. The old one is BlogOut, which works quite well and was extremely easy to add to my blog. I’d recommend it to any technophobe blogger.

The problem is that all of the comments/discussions physically reside on the BlogOut server, not mine. Should BlogOut ever pack it in, as commenting systems have been known to do, all of those wacky, zany discussions would vanish as well.

Not that anyone really needs to know any of this. Except that, should you feel like commenting on this fine Sunday morning, you will probably see two “comment” links below. Best to use the first one until I get the kinks worked out of dotcomments.

Cheers

More misguided Googling

Someone recently found this website by searching for “meat goat project“. Is that the next sequel to the Blair Witch Project? In the Meat Goat Project, three film students encounter gastronomical terror when they get lost in Mexico. Scary stuff.

Google search

To the person who found my site by searching for “belly+japan+gallery“: I’m sorry but there is no Japanese belly gallery on my site. Just a lot of navel-gazing of a different kind. But I’ll certainly keep it in mind for a future article.

“Please sit back and relax…”

“… while Windows 98 installs on your computer.” Huh. The Linux installer didn’t want me to relax.

On the other hand, I’d hate to guess how many times I’ve seen these annoyingly-friendly screens. I think I’ve installed Windows (of any version) close to a hundred times. Literally.

I think of these installer sreens as an exercise in patience. It’s a chance to pause and reflect on things. Very zen.
