Well spring break is over and I finally get to make an update. Of course, I could have did a few updates while I was on spring break but I was smart enough to not bring the tools I need to add info to the database, and I still haven’t got the web interface done for adding info to the database. I think before I get to that I’m going to make a small guestbook to test out the methods. That way, if I screw it up real bad I don’t ruin the database I got going at the moment.
I did however change the layout of the page a bit. I got tired of a few new stories taking up an insane amount of space on the front page, so I added the “Read More” option to every story. It basically cuts off the story at a pre-defined length and hides the rest of it. That way, it gives you enough of the story to decide if it interest you and will hopefully shave some of the load time since less data has to be transferred.
I also have a little news for you. Well, it’s not really news. It’s actually a small video clip of our wonderful Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld trying to cover his ass about the claims that Iraq was an immediate threat. It’s funny and amazing at just how unbelievable this government is. Even when quoted with his own words, he still wants to try and act like he didn’t use the phrase immediate threat.
