Soooooo......

[Ghoulish Delight]

For the fun and learning experience of it I've been building a php/mysql based website in my spare time over the last few weeks. I've played around with the languages a little bit working on LoT of course, but there's a difference between tinkering with existing code and building a DB and CMS from the ground up.

It's really hit me how insane it is that having what amounts to 4 languages (html, javascript, php, and sql) kludged into a single line of code is pretty much SOP for most content management systems out there. It's a mess.

On an unrelated note, amid yesterday's rain I was struck by the fact that in all likelihood, T will never know the horrors of those evil thumb-pinching umbrellas. And it boggled my mind that the human race managed to invent home computing before managing to invent (or at least make universally available) an umbrella mechanism that wasn't designed specifically to torture young childrens' fingers.

I don't know that I've ever owned an umbrella (being from Washington my philosophy is "you get wet, later you dry off"). Though I guess I know what you mean.

How have they changed?
