I am excited about the phrame software I found out about from the twin cities PHP user group mailing list.  Ever since learning about separation of display and logic, I have been looking for good ways to do it in PHP.  I've made some progress, but most of what I do is still php interspersed among the html, making my code readable only to me and only within 6 days of coding it.  phrame emulates the Model View Controller framework and is said to be based on the concept of Java Struts.  I think this will revolutionize my coding. 6:06:12 PM    comment []

Here, read this.  It explains my point, I think. So, Dr. Ted and Babs showed up today.  Dr. Ted is in town for some egghead conference.  When Ted was new to teaching, he once had to assign a short story to his class.  In a rush, he went to the library and grabbed a book of short stories by an author that he'd heard was good.   He read the first few pages of a story, decided it was the perfect story to assign, and so assigned it.  He finished the story later and found that the second half of the story was devoted to describing in detail a sex act that occured under a blanket on a bus seat between the main character and some fat skank that he met on the bus.  This is after a  lecture he gave about how sex is handled by good short story writers only in terms of "9 or 10 levels of innuendo".  4:33:56 PM    comment []
