Hey, kid, wanna hear a secret? Don’t tell anyone i told you this, but i’ve got some Secret Links for
you. This isn’t your usual weekly shit — these are the links i’m saving for the big satyrs dot ee
you slash linkroll. Deluxe links. Gourmet, even. Straight from my “Work (Copy 3) (final)” folder.
I think Morbius might legitimately be the worst film i’ve ever seen on the big screen. The
basic idea has potential, and for the first 15 minutes or so, i was cautiously optimistic — but then
it all gets smothered by a mountain of pure gobshite and some of the worst dialogue ever put to
screen.i
Non-techies, you can safely ignore this post and go on with your day. But, tech people, if you’re
still reading… a little help for an ignorant soul, please? 😅
I’m planning to add a comment section to the main part of my website. The problem is, of course,
that i’ve barely ever touched PHP and Sql before, let alone tried to make something like a comment
system, and as such, i have no fucking idea what i’m doing.
I’ve got a design figured out — see above — and a rough idea of what the database will look like:
postId: Integer, generated by adding some random digits to the end of a Unix timestamp
timestamp: Integer, just a Unix timestamp of when the comment was submitted
commentLocation: Unicode string, max. 32 chars?, indicating on which comments section the
comment was posted
displayName: Unicode, max. 128 chars?, is what it says on the can
emailAddress: Unicode, max. 128 chars?, used to generate the avatar via Gravatar and maybe
filter spam if it comes to that
website: Unicode, max. 128 chars?, used to… link to the commenter’s website
commentText: Unicode, max. 4096 chars?, the actual text of the comment; will be processed as a
subset of Markdown
planet: Unicode, max. 16 chars?, any comment for which the response isn't earth will
get thrown out
So, erm… any suggestions? Improvements? Ways of not getting my site hacked? Polite ways of telling
me that this was a terrible idea? are welcome in the comments below.
