Alright, alright. My hiatus is over, and I'm back. Unknown to you, despite the lack of posts here, I have been actively working on -273. michael wanted to get a better idea of the people who visit here, so I wrote a custom counter-thingy that does that for us.
I also hacked up a few php scripts for acm to use this weekend. Nothing very impressive, and I can't use them until we get sendmail straightened out on our server, so that's rather boring.
Earlier this semester, I committed myself to doing an ACM Tech Talk on php. I've been thinking a lot about what I should include in my talk. There are so many cool things that can be done with php, I'll have to do a lot of pruning to fit it all into a one hour presentation. My current thinking on it is that most of the people at the talk will know something about programming, so I won't have to spend much time on the basic aspects of the language. Just spend a few minutes going over the integration of php and html, and then cover some of the more useful aspects of php, such as database integration and image manipulation.
