My mom and dad actually met on December 31, 1969 - and if I had to guess it was somewhere around that time. Pretty funny eh? mrgreen

Probably they'll separate on 03:14:07 UTC on Tuesday, January 19, 2038 [x]
Thinking positively, I'd say they'd just renew their vows.

But the date is negative.

Just setting up online for my Wii..

I added an email and it said I needed to wait for one another to register.

For about 15 minutes I looked for 'another' type of email or contact to have. Then I checked my inbox and I realised we needed to add one another, well, that is what it meant.


Silly me.

I'm sure we've all done it.


Personally, I gave somebody some php source last night, and he wondered why it wasn't working.

Links me to the PHP, and all I see is plaintext of the actual source.

It being midnight, my first thought is "your host doesn't do PHP?", but he said the earlier version I gave him works.

So I sat there and thought for a minute, and it hit me.

I had sent it in a PM on gaia, and gaia's XSS prevention (I know now from a dev posting that THAT's the reason gaia keeps mangling any source we post!) had turned the beginning and end php brackets into their escape code. The version in his inbox was with the escape code, and that's what he copied and put in. The escape code, when sent to the browser, renders the "<", but server-side (and looking in the sent source confirmed it), it was the escape code, and thus not being read as a signal to start php processing.

... It being midnight, I felt like a genius. XD
