Snow and PHP

For the first time in years, snow fell that packed well enough to build a snowman. Whitney and I walked down to the park and built our attempt in amongst the others that already stood there.

I promise I looked a lot happier when that picture was posed, but it took about five tries for Whitney's camera to work and my expression changed significantly during the wait. Howard the snowman's face, though, remained frozen in his vacant, sad expression.

At the stage when he was just three gigantic snowballs and a face, I was worried that we'd created the most terrifying snowman in the world, as he looked like something that had been dragged back from Easter Island. I think that Whitney's work on the rest of his body more than makes up for it, though. And to think that at home we'd have been satisfied with rolling a couple of balls together and sticking coal in them.

I have spent the rest of the weekend recoding my music site to run using PHP pages rather than straight HTML. With the use of PHP includes and a database in the background, this makes managing and updating the site a much easier task, and hopefully by the time Modplug comes back up I'll be keeping it updated more regularly. For now, feel free to browse around and test or break the new download counters.
