Life is a Paradox!
One more tweak. The time is now displayed more prominently for posts, this is to make it easier to browse via date.
The update took a bit longer than i had anticipated, so there were some times when things may not have looked right. Rest assured that everything has since been fixed. However, if you see a bug, please tell me in the comments on this post.
Many forums let you have a signature. Many forums also let you have an avatar. But many forums limit the amount of images you have in your signature, and i have yet to see a forum that lets you have more than one avatar. There is a simple way you can have a signature that rotates on page reloads, or even use it as an avatar. Read on to find out how. You will need PHP, apache, and some images.

One of the tools i quite like is Autonomous Lan Party. This is a php script designed to run a lan party, and it features many things, such as tournament management, server listing, file listing, teamspeak info, food runs, schedules, and many other things. It is quite useful. It hasn’t been updated in a while, but it runs with php and mysql, so it is compatible with most servers.

I spent the past afternoon fighting with several quote database and pastebin scripts. This has allowed me to draw the conclusion that these scripts suck ass.
I spent a long amount of time trying to get a quote database set up. I tried many things, all of them failed. All the quote databases i tried either sucked, were too ugly to use, or didn’t work with my setup. The last one, those that didn’t work with my setup, was most annoying, because i have a webhost with perl installed, and i followed the instructions in the install files to the letter, yet nothing.
Giving up on the quote db, i decided to use a pastebin. I went to the big pastebin, pastebin.com. and downloaded their application. Lo and behold, the MySQl code in the installer doesnt work.
As such, i have had a very stressful day.

Well, to make my site appear better, and more like what i had originally invisioned, i have spent the afternoon tweaking my css and php files to generate the newish version of the site. You should see the changes immediatly, but if you don’t, i will explain them. First off, each post now appears in a little box. The title is at the top, metadata is below it, content is in the center, and comment and view information is at the bottom. The comment count has been moved to the bottom of the post, to remedy some complaints about the word wrap eating it. Along it joins a new feature, views. These count how many times a post is viewed. They do not count my views.
Hope you guys enjoy these features.
