Displaying Referrers
I thought I would modify Brent's display referrers PHP script to sort by the number of referrers. Basically all I added was a uSort with a supporting SortNumeric() function. I gave up trying to format the code here so I'll just summarize my changes.
Added the SortNumeric() function:
function sortNumeric ($a, $b) {
if (intval($a) == intval($b)) return 0;
return (intval($a) > intval($b)) ? -1 : 1;
}
And then just after each of the exec() calls add a call to usort:
Interesting idea for encoding email addresses displayed on webpages to prevent the spam harvestors from scraping (until of course they figure it out).

All I can do is laugh. Ha ha ha ha ha.
More than a year ago I choked over and over again when discussing advertising rates with AOL. They played the bully. We were nothing to them. We should have felt so privileged just to be able to talk to them. We should be kissing their feet. Bullshit. I wouldn't have paid $.0000000000001/CPM never mind whatever absolutely ridiculous amount they wanted. We ended up paying them zippo. Not a single dime. We told the bully what to go do with their banners.
So its no surprise to me and I feel good seeing the bully being knocked down a few billion pegs.
Go Go Go, rev up that online ad sales guys, thats really going to help, trust me!!!

I'm so excited. I was just issued my first US Patent. Patent #6,373,244 is an "Apparatus for scraping a surface indicating elements located inwardly of the surface". Or in laymans terms, transverse asswiping.
Basically what this all means is people need my permission to wipe their ass. So please, the next time you wipe your ass, leave a quarter in a jar beside the toilet. We'll be around to collect those jars on a monthly basis. We have estimates on how many times a person wipes their ass a day and we have no problem taking people to court who may try to scam the system.
Boy, someone beat me to this patent. US Patent #6,368,227. Amazing what similar minds can think up while sitting around.

It seems like I'm on the exact same track as Eric Costello. He explains that he's at a crossroads in his development life. He can take the .NET road or the PHP, JSP, Cocoon, MySQL road.
I'm pretty much at the same stage except that I've taken one step down the PHP and MySQL road and haven't considered bothering with .NET until I read this. It may be time to give it a chance even though I'm already breaking away from the evil empire!!
I've been using Groove now for at least 6 months on projects with team members working remotely. It has helped tremendously to keep all the discussions/communications/files etc. in a central location. Gone are the days of filing away email in some lame folder structure in the hopes of being able to find some related project item easily enough.
I can't believe though that they still haven't added a SEARCH feature to Groove. Come on Ray, what can it take to add search?
