I don't think it's that big of a deal to be honest. maybe back in the type writer days, but meh not now. people tell you to use two spaces after a period? really? i never knew that. i’ve never been told about it in the English department.

]]> Comment on PHP Parsing and a new album by Zach http://mpbedard.blogs.plymouth.edu/2008/10/14/php-parsing-and-a-new-album/comment-page-1/#comment-373 Zach Sun, 19 Oct 2008 01:33:28 +0000 http://mpbedard.blogs.plymouth.edu/?p=20#comment-373 In the log parsing, you could have saved one whole loop by doing lines 16-19 in the same loop as the preg_match_all(). Also, the preg_match_all could have been accomplished more efficiently with preg_match() *or* you could have done one preg_match_all() without the initial loop and moved straight into line 15s loop as is. Minor stuff, but a slightly cleaner approach. Otherwise, huge props for attempting the regexp. In the image gallery code, you could have simplified a bit by leveraging the modulus operator as opposed to multiple loops. Again, just a tip on cleanliness. Good forward thinking with the nicely standardized naming convention for the images. Any thoughts on how you might handle this if they weren't so neatly structured?

This is OK... but it would be better if this was distributed throughout your site. Have you considered moving even more tags into your head and foot includes? You could save even more redundancy.

The background is pretty rough when viewing on the iPhone though. Might consider doing something different with that. This is good. The background is pretty rough when viewing on the iPhone though.

Although a theft of the actual machine is less likely than a hacking attempt, it could reveal much more than a hacker could ever obtain. It's even worse when people give away or sell their computers with all this information: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4229550.stm It’s unfortunate that we are too lost in the idea that digital security is way more important than physical security, and we completely forget about securing our computers.
