This is a love story for a php built in function. strtotime(). I’m sure other languages/frameworks have a similar function, but I’m mostly familiar with php.
Here is an example of it’s coolness:
echo date(”m/d/Y h:i:s”, strtotime(’last week’)) . “\n”;
08/22/2008 09:12:18
Or how about:
echo date(”m/d/Y h:i:s”, strtotime(’next tuesday’)) . “\n”;
09/02/2008 12:00:00
I know this is soooo last year, but I just found out about Gravatars. So I hacked* our Wordpress theme to support them.
For those who don’t know, a gravatar is an avatar that you register with a speicific email address through http://en.gravatar.com/.
So when you participate in a comunity that supports gravatars, your specific one will show next to your contribution.
So go register your avatar now and then post a comment here to show it off.

I ran in to an interesting read this morning at sitepoint. The general idea I got from the post is that PHP handles common web development tasks for you (HTTP Headers, Query String parsing, Post Data parsing, etc) and is therefore a framework.

Not the end of the world, the end of the internet. The issue is no net neutrality. No rules at all about what ISPs can or can’t do with your traffic. Most people have probably seen this scary image of a possible reality:
