About

    Today's Headlines are headlines grouped by topics like world events, US events, technology, computer security, linux and so on. Headlines are gleaned every few minutes from a variety of sources around the web and written in local XML files conforming to the RSS specification for syndicated newsfeeds.

    OnThisDay in history, Quotes, Recipes, the Weblog, the Anglican Timeline and even the Guestbook are created using php in conjunction with mySQL.

    Much of the php-generated dynamic content is cached for around 20 seconds to keep from bogging down the server in the (unlikely) event that many different visitors all try to view the site at the same time.

    I usually visit Today's Headlines first. Sometimes I like to see what happened on this day in history. To do this a php viewer reads and sorts dated entries from a mySQL database.

    One of my hobbies is photography and some of my favorite pictures will appear in the Photo Album area.

    The random Quotation near the bottom of the front page is provided by yet another php program working together with the mySQL database containing over 9,000 quotations.

    So, now that you're here, click around and enjoy your visit. Be sure to sign the guestbook.
