Things to wait for
A bad day turned not so bad. Thesis due date melarkey looks promising. Stargate SG-1 season about to finish, and Atlantis has just begun production.
Things are going well. Today felt like it wasn’t going to be particularly good, but then turned out to be not so bad (as usual). A particularly boring lecture was the only negative thing.
It looks as though there’ll be no problems with changing the due date of my honours thesis to the end of the year. When (or god forbid! if) it is confirmed, that will be a weight off my back.
I have almost saved enough for my new computer. I’m about $500 short… but I’m expecting a check soon from Uni for that exact amount (the first half of a nice little scholarship). That means that if all goes to plan, I will be able to spend next weekend putting together my new box. I can’t wait.
Stargate SG-1 season seven is about to end and the final episode is looking sweet. Sadly, this season has seen the end of Fraiser and Hammond, two important and well-loved characters. I’ve also recently been seeing some interesting info about the new spin-off, Atlantis. Robert Patrick, who I am interested in mostly because of his voice work in The Dig, is a guest star for the first episode. Too bad he’s not a recurring character.

This is just a test.

OK, the avatar upload feature is working. It only supports PNG files, nor does it do any checking of the file’s validity or size, but it works.

Yeah, I’ve gotta say, I’ve seen the episode in question of daniel, and well, the “replacement” character annoys me and the series seems to have lost a lot of punch because of it. Still a nice plot is developing well…
Hrmm, so what enforcements will be made for avatar restrictions? visual size? obviously file–size..

To me, Daniel’s ascension is old news :). That was the end of Season 5. I had absolutely no problem with Jonas; he was an interesting character. Rest assured, though, that Daniel fully returns as a member of SG–1 in Season 7.
I download the latest episodes from England or the US, which are, of course, years ahead of what’s (not :() shown on Channel 7. So I guess I’m a bit ahead of you.
As for the avatars, yes, I’ll restrict their dimensions and file size and add support for other file types.

Impressive
Very impressive indeedy..
I like the fact that you used exactly the test that I gave you
was much reworking required?

No reworking; it already supported nested elements. IIRC, it will also fix up some errors.
It sounds like you think I wrote it: once again, the BBCode parser is part of the PEAR library that comes with PHP.
You keep picking out the bits I didn’t write!!
OK, to end all speculation, here are the bits that were not written by me (though may have been modified by me):
[li]BBCode parser[/li]
[li]Template system[/li]
[li]RSS builder[/li]
Everything else was written by me.
Edit: OK, so you can tell I didn’t write the BBCode parser, since it doesn’t surround the list with a <ul> tag, and thus fucks up the alignment of this comment. I’ll have to fix that.

okay okay…sorry about that, still everything else is very nice too..
Well, my research goes badly, I can’t do a full simulation, so most of it will be in spread sheets instead of in C…

You can now change some of your user information from the admin page.
Thanks for playing around with this; it’s immensely helpful to have someone else bugfinding and suggesting features. It’s good incentive to actually implement them, as well, especially given that the features are really simple to add to the framework and my laziness is the only thing to blame for them not being there already.

Impressive, a nice way of doing things.
The one other thing I feel needs to be sorted is that when you log in, you automatically are taken to the admin functions page, regardless of where you logged in on the site..
Ie if I intended to write a comment, I have to go back to journal, comments etc.. when logging in from the comments section

As for bugfinding, well, it’s one of the things I am very very good at…I will provide some code for you to bugfind…never fear

Re: login –> admin page. Yes, I’ve found that too. I’ll have to transfer the login code from the admin page to one of the global include files to allow it, but it will happen.
