Zend: Secure Programming in PHP. “The wonderful thing about PHP is that people with little or even no programming experience are able to achieve simple goals very quickly. The problem, on the other hand, is that many programmers are not really conscious about what is going behind the curtains.” [mac.scripting.com]: PHP is one thing I have yet to explore. I've looked at Zope and it is quite cool.

I've got Captain Stuffit working, for the most part. It needs an about box. I've got a really crappy icon for it. I'm hoping my daughter will make a better one. She is really quite good at creating icons. And then I have to prepare the readme and web pages for the amianduri.com website.

A few Six Feet Under notes. I really like Claire. But I think she's got the wrong idea about college. She thinks going to college is taking the cookie-cutter approach to life. She doesn't want to go if it's what everybody thinks she should. But college is a blast. It can change your life. There are so many new ideas to discover that sometimes your head feels like it will explode. It was, in some ways, the most exciting time of my life. I must have liked it as I spent 13 years there :)

RumorMill 1.3.2: News server for [MacNN]: Is this thing still going? What with OS X, I can't believe there's even still a market for it.

I just don't have enough time to do all the things I want to do. I'd like to work on Captain Stuffit, read my news, post to my weblog, and watch ER. Oh, and at some point I'd like to play Balder's Gate. I bought it several weeks ago and just haven't had time to play it.

One thing that would be cool in Radio would be the ability to make a category be a list of email addresses. That way you could stream a post to your log and to other people at the same time. Maybe that's already possible with #upstream.xml?

Googlewhacking: The Search for 'The One'

Looks like 'referer' is the standard misspelling for 'referrer'. This is what OmniDictionary had to say:
"From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01):
referer
A misspelling of "referrer" which somehow made it into the HTTP standard. A given web page's referer (sic) is the URL of whatever web page contains the link that the user followed to the current page. Most browsers pass this information as part of a request.
(1998-10-19)"

'I notice that the link to referrers is misspelled on the default radio admin page. No blame to Dave Winer for this. The misspelling dates back to the original HTTP spec which also misspells referrers as "referers." '[Leo's TV Radio Blog]: Oops. How many times have I misspelled it?

"What OmniWeb does right is offer speedy updates to its program, addressing the bugs mentioned by users who subscribe to the OmniGroup mailing lists, and the program also offers spell checking support (which is a great bonus if you use your browser to write in a Weblog tool like Radio 8.0.2. "[Mac Net Journal]: Yes.This is a very cool feature.
