Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I just walked over to the window and waved at Italy. Four stories below on the street a man happened to notice and waved back. Perhaps he is Italian.

Now there is a competition in the Programmer Pit to see who can get the most passers-by to wave. The ladies are winning.

Not fair.

ita, if you would like for me to tackle one of the two projects you recently mentioned, shoot me an email. The closing code sounds more interesting than the php upgrade, although 4.1.x to 4.3.x is pretty painless. I'm not sure PHP5 has been gold long enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gus, would it take you much effort to downgrade the map code to 4.1.2?

But the closing code is more important. That way I can stop working on the code that gives posters an electric shock when they trail tags.

ita, I think the main effort in downgrading the map code would be in configuring a box to test on, to see what blows up. Not too big a deal.

It would be a little bit of drag to do the closing code on 4.1 assumptions, then have to monkey with it again on a later PHP upgrade.

How about I replicate the org on a box running 4.3.4, then you could rope a few testers to see how it survives with the closing code changes? Many birds, one stone.

I'm a little leery about the upgrade, Gus, just because they've tied stuff into the control panel here, and I'm not sure what breaks what.

When I get a free moment, I'll ping iStrata and ask them if they have an integrated upgrade to a more recent version.

I know the code works as is just fine, because it used to be on 4.3.4, and we had to downgrade a command or two. But nothing big.

Well, the closing code effort will have to take place in some kind of dev environment, somewhere. If you already have one set up, I could pound on the map code there, as well.

I'm just not sure what box of mine I would want to go backwards with in regard to PHP version. They all seem to be running some little php thing that has stabilised at 4.3, and running two flavors of php on one box feels like a lot of duct-tape and baling wire will be needed.

Oh, sure we do. We have a bunch. You can have your own -- I'll set it up in a few days.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

How does one put text in strikeout? The strikeout tag doesn't seem to work. Is it a font tag?

Perhaps you must type it all out.

Ta da! Go me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

hey ita, how's that filter code stuff coming?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

aurelia, I can't seem to duplicate that land-rush thingy. What browser/OS are you on?

IE 5.2 for Mac. Now you're gonna scold me for not using something better, aren't you?
