and I fail at eels

Try harder! Also my butt hurts when I sneeze.

Good thing I'm not allergic to outside like people with lolhayfever!

I'm just allergic to grass. Made the mistake of walking through the five foot high stuff out back. Came back in and had to strip and shower just so I could keep my eyes open, broke out the eye drops.

But it gets me out of yard work

It's a shame it's only 5.2%. I'd love to let this stuff stew for about six months.

Yup that's 90% of what I'm doing.

I think my best idea so far was to take these long chunks of user input (full of touchy syntax) and just base64 them for sterility and escaping and just toss them in a mediumtext. No chance of injection, easy to measure actual input size, and a built-in php function. I have to do the same for sounds and images for proper preload on html5 embedding anyway (demo, base64 embedded sounds to get around browsers failing to cache them for some reason), and I've found you can do the same with anything that has a mime type.

And then I get to bitch people off my site that don't use compliant browsers so my sandboxing works (XSS in-but-not-out subdomain page in iframe). I think I'll have a special 'F*CK YOU' page for IE6 users.

I think you'll really enjoy the concept at least. I just didn't wanna see it come crashing down for lack of security. You can definitely help me with my override list later on.

Oh, and yes that JS on HTML5 thing I linked it sort of what The Project relates to, and yes it WILL kill your browser because it's intended as a stress test (How many sound channels, how many draw instructions, how many alpha gradients... before a browser just craps itself). It is fun as hell to watch though, just don't background the tab (you'll hear sounds very sparsely like it's running really slow) or you'll NaN the FPS tracking and cause the cleanup system to fail and your FPS will just start crawling as more and more scorches pile up (alpha gradients are the meanest thing you can do to a canvas).

Seed for an incredible but confusing battle for that link in my last post: GFBWSKV194PIOLC

When in doubt: Super Turret!

Yeah once I truly understood what PHP is and figured out most of the paradigms involved (mostly just how to use post, and cheaty easy methods to generate a hidden form to do so instead of monkeying with headers) I realized how easy this site would be to create. I was digging for help for a little while prior to that, but if you know one language you can tear into just about any other and all any language ever requires is knowing what you want to do.

I learn mostly by cribbing, so getting into PHP was a little trickier than JS.

Nah, 5.4.3 seems to be amazingly cleaned up compared to how it used to be. Every little snippet and tutorial I find has little things like "Unless you've got 5.2.x+, then you don't have to give sh*t about this obnoxious syntax and can just call awesome_function_replacement()".

It pretty much dumps the old mucking with global configuration variables and just does things sensibly.

Having practically the same syntax as JavaScript is amazing when you're doing both in the same page. They're practically the same language and Notepad++ has some glorious highlighting ability for both, even inline.

Also I'm running PHP-FPM on Nginx over a unix socket, so it's wicked f*cking fast for my application (fairly static pages with single database calls) and for being on a Linode instead of some dedicated umpteen core rig that Apache almost demands anymore.

Eleven more days until Lollipop Chainsaw.

Lollipop chainsaw being the most Japanese game ever, right?

I wouldn't mind one of those...

This

if ( statement ) { 
    instructions 
}

is an if-then statement. If the statement following the if is true, then the instructions inside the {} brackets is executed. Hence, an if-then statement.

Example

if ( AgeofNila > 99 ) { 
    print "Nila is an old man" 
}

Congratulations, you can now code if-then statement.

it's not the age, baby. it's the mileage.

I have to script using Python next year. Fun.

Oh, and every programming class I've taken (all two of them) has been infatuated with matrix operations that you never use. It's like there's this retarded thinking among the people who write these course programs that all data should be stored in a single matrix instead of a per-object array.

Yeah that's pretty much what you can turn Javascript into with liberal use of prototype.

"BRB, f*cking my wife" is always a DRK-worthy excuse.

I've seen "afk need new poop sock" before

So I've sent an e-mail to SE to try to get my POL password reset. I'm so weak. I lasted like 2 years though, that's something, right?

My DRK is teh subjob. I only post here for teh lulz. That being said I may server jump. None of my old friends play any more I don't think.

I never did get my Black Belt. That always bugged me tbh.

At least I refuse to give up smoking. That's commitment right there!

I'm committed to quitting.

Details, details.
