* As always, I learn best through having projects.  I'm doing a bunch of tinkering to get this one website to do my bidding, so I'm learning a ton of PHP in the meantime.  This article on basic PHP security things seems not ungood, but it's from 2003, so I want to find something better.  (I need to, for example, block against SQL-based suck in the URL query string, this I know.)

If you have good links on basic-cat PHP (with MySQL) security things, this is the place for 'em.  Even if it's dirt-simple - I'm not an idiot, but I am a scatterbrain, and reminders are good.  Not to mention the part where I'm newish to PHP anyhow.

[eta] Fuck, I'm going to have to learn regex again.  *annoyed*

* My arms got betterish over the weekend, but they're starting to twinge, which means there's something about my work setup that's sub-par.  Alas.  It's probably the arms on this goddamn chair.  I'm trying to space typing out anyhow, just to be thorough, and I'm still not signed onto AIM.

* Part of yesterday was going to a friend's house for grilling.  Her roommate has the gardening bug, so she was raking and setting up a compost pile and digging a fire pit and so and so and so forth.  I wish I didn't kill plants through inattention, I would love to get a bit into container gardening - find some easy-to-grow vegetable that I like, and make that go.  Not necessarily for cooking, mostly just for the occasional munching-on.

I dunno, maybe if I set up reminders for watering...  *sad face*  This is why my loving kitties totally works - there's no set schedule of kitty-care.

* Blogspot has, by far, the shittiest commenting system known to thinking creatures.  Fucking hell.  And you'd think that with that in mind, third-party commenting systems (Disqus, IntenseDebate, Haloscan) would have, I dunno, options for importing Blogger comments.  And yet.  Fuckers.

Marriage.

I had a mildly longer post typed out on this topic, but it had so many loose threads that would have needed addressing (privilege, disclaimers, &c) that blah.

Anyways.  The short, short version*.

My boyfriend and I briefly re-nattered about marriage yesterday.  We confirmed that yeah, neither of us are particularly interested in getting married.  Pragmatism may change our minds (finances, health stuff, his family), but yeah, not so much.  For much the same reasons, even – a general dislike for societal/patriarchal expectations.

Pleased cat is pleased.

* Entertainingly, a quote from Spaceballs, during the wedding scene.

I try to balance between arms-care and the need to write out my brain.  So hi, you get a rant.

What the fuck-ass shit is wrong with Blogger?  "We can't track IP addresses of the commenters!  We can't export comments!  Threading?  Numbers?  Fie!"  Or any third-party commenting system: "Importing from Blogger?  Fie!  It's incompatible.  *totally solemn*"

It... I... what the balls is wrong with all commenting systems ever, that they do not recognise that comments are kind of important?  Augh!

I am so glad I have the privilege of having space on a server to run a WP.org bloggy blog blog, so that I could import comments by hook +/- crook.

And of course, I'll post this, and someone will say, "That switch is $here," and I will feel le dumb.
