Blog Update

2006-07-12 22:02:12 • by Brian Verkley

I tried to resurrect the old movies database.  I have it, but the comments are stored by userid instead of actual names.  I don't have the old userid table, so I have no idea who posted which comments.  I can't believe I wrote that thing back in February of 1999.  Anyone remember what they first thought of edtv?  Anyone else remember that movie?

To integrate it (or anything like it) into this site is requiring a major rewrite.  I wrote this blog engine very quickly, and while the backend works well, the html gui is awful to work with.  Not customizeable at all, not that that was an original design criteria though.

I should move to css.  We'll see if that happens.  At the very least it will be more modular which should allow some new features without new headache.

I'm developing in a second directory, so this site should work in the meantime.  Please ignore any dust, and please watch for rusty nails.

i told you to be careful.

say, when we're you in Etobicoke. I saw spray-painted in big bold letters on the back of a school - BBB

I didn't know you were starting an advertising campaign.

I was never gone - just hovering in the backdrop. I can be quiet and shy too :P

I was wondering you didn't mention the advertising sooner. I have visited numerous schools with my trusty spray cans. (Except they get the colours all over my hands!) My intent is to get people to visit your site, so they can subsequently boycott it.
