Notes: Special thanks to Andrew, Larry Redden, Ed Sandberg, and Mark W for pointing out errors in Tara's transcription (numerous errors were fixed here, along with some scene information clarifications). Absolutely let me know if anything slipped by my look-over, especially in the quicker and the 'like, like, you know,' sections ;)

Please note that these chapters do contain small images from the film. For the sake of all users, images have been limited to no more than two per chapter.

Learn how to display this transcript on your blog or site. It's easy!

For the sake of version control and in the interest of not having multiple versions floating about the Internet, please link to the pages on this site or use the code detailed above instead of copying the script elsewhere. Using short blurbs of a sentence or two is perfectly fine. Thank you :)

The home page of mod_perl gives a great explanation of what mod_perl is, and what it provides. We'll be installing mod_perl simply because it will help us install other functionality as time goes by.

WP-ShortStat SQL queries

  • April 4, 2006
  • James Skemp
The wp-shortstat plugin, modified for WordPress 2.x use by Markus Kaemmerer, is a great little plugin. I've been using it since March 17, and since Markus has been doing a deal of updating (additional functionality, as well as bug fixes), I've been checking it on a regular basis (and have looked through the code more than once). However, since I started out by using 1.3, I've got a problem with old records skewing my stats.

'Just enough HTML to be dangerous'

  • March 27, 2006
  • James Skemp

This time, we'll be covering the minimum HTML knowledge required to be truly dangerous. While an expanded understanding of HTML is not, per se, required, having at least some understanding will help in a number of ways. Of course, the more HTML you know, the less you rely on tools to do the work (which is a good thing, since we're not always able to use the tools that we're familar with).

Found: 40 free HTML/CSS templates

  • March 24, 2006
  • James Skemp
Alessandro Fulciniti, along with an unnamed number of people, have create 40 CSS-based templates, free for download, available at http://blog.html.it/layoutgala/. They've got near every possible layout that I can think of, along with a number more. Stick on a stylesheet, and you're golden. The only real problem I see is that navigation items should, according to some sources, come before the main content area. After all if the CSS disappears, then you'll still want navigation to come first.
