:: Personal website of a Toronto web designer
Lately » Computers do lots of stuff
- Don't cache the page
- Choose user's style preference
- Choose user's type preference
- Set page title variable
- Open a text file with the quotes
- Pick a random quote
- Close the text file
- Add 10 empty lines
- Print HTML comment with the quote
- Add 50 empty lines (like it makes me cool)
- Log visitor if first time, needed for refs page
- Load all HTML tags
- Load basic JavaScript file
- Load CSS file, depending on user's preference
- Figure out what I meant with all that CSS crap
- Load the main image depending on CSS skin
- Load 14 more images
- Open the database, read two tables
- Figure out some date commands
- Display results from the data base
- Close the data base
- Figure out some date stuff again
- Load navigation include file
- Send the page to the user
And this is just a rough guide of what is happening behind the scenes. Sometimes I am amazed how much a single computer can do in a couple of seconds.

I love this site. It's an inspiration. But why hide the source code (or attempt to?). Let people steal your genius.

Hi Joel,
Thank you!
I am not hidding it (there is no way to do that, we all know that), just adding some empty lines in order to make the qoutes in the comment more readable.
Because I respect my visitors, I'll remove that as we speak ;-)

Server side coding is so cool. Server side coding that shakes hands with client side coding is so cooler.
