My New Mooslim Friend
Amanda has a new friend! Here’s the story of when they first met!
the day the new mooslim girl came to class mrs clark intoduced her and asked the class if we knew anything about the mooslim religion. i know a lot about false religions, so I informed the class that mooslims are a brown race from mooslim country who worship an elefant god named ganisha. they dont celebrate christmas like normal people, there equivalent is called ramada inn, and their jesus is called ibraham. the only ways to get into mooslim heaven are to either kill a virgin or blow yourself up
Edit: link is dead unfortunately, and if you’re reading this please don’t take it seriously. The piece above is a joke!
Max Media Manager – phpAdsNew derived advert server
I use phpAdsNew at work, must look at Max Media Manager later. The Freshmeat project page has a lot more info about what they want to do.
What's the GPL? WordPress and PEAR Cache Problems
Ben Ramsey explores some of the issues when you write GPLed code that uses code from the PEAR library.
I had forgotten about the differing licenses used by PEAR and WordPress. They’re unfortunately incompatible and you can’t ship PHP licensed code in a GPL project without an “exception clause” in your GPL license. A change to the license of WordPress would require the agreement of *all* copyright holders of code in the project AFAIK.
Thankfully, I don’t ship PEAR Cache with WordPress MU. I use it if it’s installed already, WPMU isn’t dependant on PEAR Cache being available to work.
I think that gets around the incompatibility. Doesn’t it?
Fly Away!

GNOME Photo Printer: printing them photos
Here’s a review of Gnome Photo Printer by Sebastian Vorköper. Looks good, and perhaps a simple way to create those life posters Mac users were going mad about a while back. Not that anyone had printed a montage before January 27th without a Mac! hehe.
