Unfortunately their register/login system is broken: Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/admin/domains/projecteuler.net/public_html/includes/login_preprocess.php on line 11 So I’ll keep track on my own blog I guess […]

If this works it should encourage me to post more often, since I live inside my Gmail email account, I use Google Calendar, and this Docs & Spreadsheets thing is […]
Almost as fast as I took them down, someone wrote in to ask me to put them back up, so they’re back. If you don’t know what “they” are, you probably don’t need them. Enjoy, but don’t expect me to support them (unless you ask nicely). It's only fair to share…FacebookTwitterEmail
