Someone noticed our work here! Thank you Rev. Jim for the review! Right now the code is ugly, I simply strapped Smarty on top of b2 in about a week of coding. My initial intention was to make my changes as non-intrusive as possible but that’s not really possible. Michel made a really good job [...]
A Long ago I stopped trying to make everything perfect. I think it happened when I realised that “good enough” really was good enough! Occasionally I will spend an extra ordinary amount of time trying to get some small facet of a program working just perfectly, but that’s common in every endevour. It’s so true [...]

I just finished Linus Torvald’s biography, “Just for fun” which was an enjoyable read and I saw a few parallels between his life and mine. He spent a summer in the early nineties coding and didn’t realise what the weather was like. I did the same coding a demo on the C64. At the end [...]
What do we lose? Ancient history, ancient batteries that if they had been developed, “we’d be flying to the nearest stars by now” (read or heard that somewhere a few years ago). I read a dog-eared copy of Eric Von Daniken’s “Chariots of the Gods” ages ago and enjoyed it but I knew of the [...]
John benchmarked a C PHP extension versus native PHP code and discovered the speed-up wasn’t that great and I have to agree, not worth the restrictions not coding in PHP provides. At work, we’ve thought of moving code into a C extension lots of times but this proves it’s not worth it. If you use [...]
