If anyone played with the second piece of the Broken Sword series, this title must have awakened funny memories of Nicole standing in the room of the El General trying to talk about something with that dead dumb man. I ROFL at that scene.

Anyway. I messed around the regexps used on each longer text (like posts, comments), so now all double quotes (“) should be replaced to quote tags. I think it’s somewhat better… But it was dead long to do it. I know, i suck at regexps. Also, there are more and more quotes (mostly japanese or self-made 俳句 (haiku)) added to the databese to be displayed on the left, in the Better panel. Hope you like them. If not, don’t read.

Oh, and from now on, the respect links are displayed in a random order on the sidebar. I felt bad, because that order looked like they were ordered, though they were not. So it’s now random.

Finally, after about two hours of painful debugging, the commenting works. Dare not find any bugs, or i’ll remove the whole commenting thing for sure until the next blog version (just joking: report all bugs as soon as possible).

I had fun with the following: anti-spam protection, which first produces some twisted “first gate”, that should be able to sort out spam-bots, and then a second line, which checks the strings for spam-words; and then the remembering of non-registered users’ data, which gave me about an hour’s undisturbed entertainment: first, it wouldn’t recognize the input fields, then it wouldn’t add the comment to the database, then it wouldn’t make the cookie to store the data, and finally it rejected to detect that cookie that the very same script set, not to mention being unable to decode the self-encoded string. Funny. But at least it works. Don’t ask me to ever touch it.
