V for vanilla cream pie

Too much vanilla in the diet leads to a freak withdrawal thing. That or it's a revolt against the simply said plain aura of this brown stick made into white.

Out in the popcorn seats of cinemas yesterday, V for Vendetta.

Store is expecting some posters or such to hang about the walls or what little room there is to spare. Perhaps that open space just out the door, where the poster rack is. Where else is better?

Or postcards even. A stack of about 50 to help flog this "uncompromising vision of the future" which, from a few reviews, hobbles itself by not sticking it to the man hard enough. Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving make this look like the kind of film worth watching. Knowing that co-creator Alan Moore swears off this makes it not so much for principle alone.

But who has principles any more?

Pushing socks through buttonholes

Cranking code to tweak and rip out some sense of the tagging system on the site is one way to find out about functions never before seen.

Put merely as a gibberish line of text, the keywords in the tags are nothing more than a mess to wade through. Working out how to put the flavour of links and sense in frequency a little on the hard side. Thankfully, there's such a thing as pre-made functions.

array_count_values()
Messy array getting things down? Run this and the nasty nasty gets itself sorted out with a tally of appearances. Great for working out how many times a word pops up in an array.

array_keys()
When the sorting is out and done, running this juice keys up a fresh order on the array, spitting out a new one for good measure. This one is right for making more sense, given that the order will find out how to step in line after each other.

Or at least, that's the thinking behind putting these two in a brand new script.

Quoth the Raven

For the lovers of goth, tragedy and mysticism, The Crow is all that and a bag of sorrow.

Sonic is in the window

Too quick settling on a single alias for working behind the counter. Now, instead of the random pickings of various characters and artists working on the multitude of comics out on the shelves, it's a Hank. Now, thinking about it, Sonic would have been a better fit. At least it's closer in name than Hank ever could be. So, no more Connor, no Brubaker, no Frank or Ed. Damn the noise.
