After moving into the new house, DSL made me wait a few days for a connection. This was followed by the usual problems in finding cables, hardware, keyboards, etc. Long story short: the site is back up! |

I don't think you could cross my plans worse than happened this year. First, I was looking forward to 6 days in Hawai'i, with invitation to Thanksgiving dinner already extended and accepted. Then I had to move and it was clear I was not going to be able to make it. I thought: no big deal! I can still go snowboarding! Forget about that: this year the season starts late, to make up for the early start last year.
Sigh... I ended up staying at home with the cats, watching a horrible movie (Kinsey), eating junk and drinking port. Maybe I could have gotten myself invited to somebody's Thanksgiving dinner, but it's not really my kind of thing, anyway, and I would have probably spoiled the spirit.

Somehow this application follows me like a curse...
The PHP version of the weight table is available as a Mambo/Joomla component. It was my first attempt at a component, and I have to admit it was much easier than I thought. You can download the component from the Remository.

I noticed that more and more of the requests to this site are for images that are embedded in somebody else's pages. That's quite a drag (as it has caused me almost to lose my other ISP for bandwidth violations until I turned it off).
What to do? Well, wonderful Google helped out.
People that link an image externally to save bandwidth are called bandwidth thieves and their activity is called hotlinking.
To turn their request off, you have to do a little work (nothing tragic). First, you have to turn on mod_rewrite...

A quote from a Canadian on /.:
There are four boxes to defend liberty with: the soap box, the jury box, the voter box and the ammo box. Use in that order.
