… of PHP and MySQL, and cabbages and kings… and, um, yeah.

I’ve been learning a bit about PHP, and it’s a nice little language! I have to say, I’m probably going to start using it as opposed to Microsoft’s ASP — it’s a much more powerful language. You can even do some low-level socket stuff in it! That I’m pretty sure you can’t do with ASP (well, if you can I’ve never come across it…)

So, um, yeah. It’s good. I’ve now got a hit counter up and running on this site I’m working on. It took a little bit of effort, but I’ve finally conquered it. Nothing can stop me now! Ahahahahahahahahaha!!!…

*whistles nonchalantly*…

I’ve just read the following on Simon’s blog:

I was going to post something about the vote to ban fox hunting, but I think I’ve written quite enough for today! Suffice it to say that, in a liberal democracy, I believe a government should keep legislation that forces people to do something, or bans people from doing something, to an absolute minimum.

Perhaps Simon would care to explain to me if legislation that “forces people to do something” should be kept to a minimum, what other kinds of legislation are there?
