I just bought the domain name minutes ago.

I put my entire collection of MythBusters episodes on it.

Me and my dad just built a door to deny access to the alley between my mom's office and the garage.

All that is left is to paint it white after the wood has dried.

I just wrote my own SMTP server from scratch in PHP (80 lines).

It works well.

For now, I only have one address : p@p97.ca

Pretty short eh ?

I don't have anti-spam on it yet.

I also can only receive, not send.

I also put a 1MB limit on incoming emails.

Yesterday, when I was working, I noticed that new rows wouldn't appear in MySQL Workbench.

Turns out the number of rows had just exceeded 1000, the default limit.

I changed it to 2000 and everything was fine.

Me and my dad just painted white the door we built last weekend.

We built a door for the alley at my mom's office last monday and painted it white yesterday.

We build it so that my mom can feel safer.

We've had instances of people urinating and defecating in the alley (we have an IP camera with motion detection).

Some people have also hidden themselves under the gallery and surprised my mom as she was walking from the house, across the alley and into the garage.

I was happy to do this with my dad for my mom.

For the last couple of days, I've been making a webpage to read email sent to p@p97.ca

It was easier than implementing a POP3 server.

I made it so that it would say performant with a very long list of emails.

All email is saved in one big mbox file.

I made a csv summary file so that my PHP script does not have to read the entire mbox file every time I want to read email.

I just modified the webpage I use to read email sent to p@p97.ca so that I can see pictures sent to me.

I recursively parse the various multipart/mixed, multipart/alternative, image/* and text/plain parts of an email.

(My reader supports plain text only, not HTML).

The PHP reader script is now 204 lines long.

I just uploaded Seasons 1 to 4.

Monday, my supervisor will be giving me something new to work on.

I don't know what it is yet but I am excited.

I've been fixing bugs for weeks and I'm at a point where the application works very well.

I hope it will be on the same project, since I have it in mind right now.

I never use square brackets to create arrays and assign variables.

I feel like array() and list() are much more PHP-like.

I just uploaded Tangled Ever After.

I just translated Front Controller from french to english.

I zipped it as version 0.5.

I just added an Edit link in the Users page.

(You have to be logged in as admin to see it.)

It is now version 0.6.

I have been working on the same project since I started working in January.
It is a custom web application for a construction company.

I have added three new pages and fixed hundreds (if not a couple thousand :P) of bugs.

I had hoped the new work my supervisor would be giving me would be on the same project since I have it in mind right now.

But no, I will be instead be searching bugs in a restaurant's custom online order application.

He told me that they have not yet designed the new pages for the construction company project.

I don't get why they have not foreseen this.
I'm pretty sure they new I would be running out of bugs someday.

Anyway, I will be starting this new work at 10am tomorrow.
My supervisor will be installing something on my work PC.

From what I understand, there is a web application for people to order online and a Windows program to see those orders.

I will have more details tomorrow.

Turns out, I will be working on making the construction company application work on mobile phones and tablets.

I was a little disappointed. I really wanted to work on the new project.

This morning, I received a spam email sent to p@p97.ca

Its body was base64-encoded HTML.

I assume they encoded it to evade dumb spam filters.

They did not have a text/plain version of the email.

I had to add HTML support in my reader PHP script.
(I just show the original HTML as plaintext since I have not yet made a HTML-sanitizer to prevent people from running <script>s in my webpage.)

The script I have made allows me to read email sent to p@p97.ca

By default, it displays plain text and images (text/plain and image/*).

It also supports multipart/mixed and multipart/alternative to see both text and images in the same page.

This morning, I added rudimentary HTML support :

First, as my script is parsing the email, it sets a global variable to true if any HTML is found.
This adds a link to the webpage.

This link adds a &html parameter to the URL.

My code then parses the HTML if that parameter is set.

It is then displayed undecoded (I do not yet do HTML-sanitization to prevent <script>s).

When parsing multipart/related, it only displays the first part (which is usually HTML).

I wonder if it would have been better if the Titanic went straight into the iceberg instead of trying to go around it.

The way I see it, turning around means a giant scratch on the side.

While a "front attack" would mean just smooshing-in the front, possibly breaking less compartments.

I'm having five teeth removed tomorrow.

(Four wisdom teeth and a molar)

I just had my wisdom teeth (and a molar) removed.

Between the time me and my dad entered the building to when we came out, it was about two hours.

With the stuff they gave me it felt more like 30 seconds.

My mouth is still numb and they told me I couldn't spit.

Although I spit all the time, this is gonna be easy to do because my mouth is so numb I can't spit anyway.

My teeth do not hurt at all.

That's a good sign.

I still have to take a lot of pills.

Why is it always the bottom that fails and never the top ?
