I had written a bunch and had a mess of post-type-information relating to Cisco CUPS, SOAP, PHP and all but I’m going to break it down into smaller chunks I think.

More shortly.

Got bored and added a Wordsearch based on all of the text options I use for the Character Name Generator Thingy.

This is a totally, utterly, and completely developed by Robert Klein, his SourceForge page for it here.

Go play around with it.  You can even make your own WordSearch shapes.

Plus, it’s all online and is a horribly delicious time-waster.

In trying to punch out a chat client that I could validate the originating client from, I decided I needed to come up with a simple method of some sort of tokenized, time-based encryption.  I also needed to be able to do this in both Javascript and PHP (and I have even adapted the same methods over to ASP/VBScript).

I figured the best thing to do would be to pass down a token that the receiving end knew about, and have it encrypted with a Unix EPOCH timestamp.

I had been struggling for a short time trying to figure out how to fix a problem I had encountered with images and style sheets (CSS) disappearing when I added a trailing slash to a URL (especially when the URL was straight to a file).

Apparently, this is the way things are SUPPOSED to work.   This makes relative paths truly relative.

Naked pages are truly a blight.

I been a on a bit of a kick with these silly name generator thingies.

I made yet another one that makes a random lunch menu based on real restaurant menus.

Just even more silliness.
