The continunity on the web leaves much to be desired...
BTW www.dinfilter.com has been stable for a couple of months now. Take a look at the 'Learn about Dinfilter' link. I created a simple narrative paragarph with links to the concepts and definitions that drive it. Also note the way cool graph.
BTW if our output looks different than the RSS it is correct we can provide hourly proofs.

Magic quotes was a colossal fuckup and PHP finally admitted it:
They tried to be too smart, thinking for the user when they shouldn't be.... like Vista and it's auto update timer which restarted my computer right near the end of a 8 hour merge script that I had been running, just because I wasn't around to say, "Hey, no actually Vista, I would really like it if you didn't fuck me over like that, please delay this timer for another four hours, which you have decided to set as the limit for the delay dropdown box".
... unlike PHP through, they are yet to admit this is was a colossal fuckup of an idea.
sorry yeah.... magic quotes bad as it auto corrupts data that only really the programmer knows the purpose of. It's also escaping the data at the wrong point and it is making assumptions about the way that it needs to be escaped, when really it has no clue.
ps. hi

male stripper? I guess that explains the embarassment...
BTW, on magic quotes, I'm having a heck of a time with apostrophes right now. Trying to fix it this morning. Some headlines come in with and other have just plain apostrophes. (Same headline, same source - maybe different browser?) Causes the counter to count the same headline as two separate ones, thereby causing the Top Headline lists to have repeats.... I think I almost have the problem in hand though. Funny, only had the problem sporadically before, now I have it every day. I think it might have something to do with the feedburner - google transition.
