One year on

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006

Today is the one year anniversary of tinymac.com!

I haven’t really posted a lot in the last twelve months, but I like to think that there were one or two interesting posts or articles.

To celebrate the one year aniversary I am finally activating “pretty URLs” (Yay for apache mod_rewrite).

I hope to post more interesting articles over the next twelve months, and in that vein, I am starting with an article about a new layout idea, the transformer layout.

To die if necessary (weapons of mass abstraction)

Tuesday, April 18th, 2006

I’m sure I’m not the first to notice this:

From the PHP manual:

…Also note that it is your responsibility to die() if necessary…

Obviously I missed the memo where PHP developers were sworn to a secret pact, where among other duties, we are required to perform acts of international espionage and die() if neccessary.

I guess it came between the whitepapers karate chop(): land the death blow and Rigged to explode(): Dangerous things 101.
