tonight i was finally inspired to fix the PHP code for my website, which has been broken for the better part of a year. finally, my photos are up again, although they are so old ... it might have been better to leave the website down. regardless, i was pleasantly surprised that i managed to wade through my code and update it so that it complies with the version on the server. hooray for global variables. and hooray for geekhood. i guess you never quite give that up.
