Wise men and Mad men - One in the same? - 11/19/2000 12:48 AM
For your amusement and enlightenment,
On the subject of manufacturing a "bare-bones" PHP version, so the designers among us can work our wonders by adding Flash and DHTML, I submit the vision of a wiser man than I....
The following was taken from a website far, far away.....let those who know the origins, now speak.....from whom did these words find a place on the web of 1997 ?.....
" The way we create and interact with websites is changing rapidly. With everything from Macromedia's Flash to Dynamic HTML, the day of the static webpage is fading. While DHTML is implemented a bit differently by the latest releases of Netscape and MSIE, both companies have pledged to support the standard when one is set. "
> I say, LET THE NEW AGE BEGIN WITH W3T! Flash that sucker, man! We want hypnotic menus and silly rollover sounds! We want Dynamic Style Sheets and table backgrounds on every Cat!

I think this (below) is why I chose to use W3T for the new Texas Offroad site. You see, I sleep with a mini recorder and note paper on the night table and transpose my mumbling moments of post-midnight genius/madness and scratchy drawings in the darkness during regular coffee hours. If I did not, by one hour post-consciousness, it's all just a fog of anxiety and disappointment....ya'know what I mean? The mind of the inventor....
After a decade or so, my wife is no longer scared out of her wits when I spring frantically from the bed at 2AM rambling, "Oh my God! That's it!" and run to my office to get it all down on paper, or disk, before it's gone.....

Re: View recent message...Suggestion (5.1) [re: Sharif]
I just got this figured out this morning. This was one of those things that was driving me crazy and I couldn't really get a proper solution. So at about 3:00 this morning I woke up and I just knew how to do it. So I came in to my office and had this fixed shortly thereafter. I need to watch the useage today and mysql load as it is being used so I can see if there is any performance hit.
