symbioidljI've just thought of a cool little addition I can add to my "friendzine"(I have no name for it yet...)
I was going to do that world scripture thing a while back, but I thought "Why don't I just create a txt file with little verses of wisdom, etc... and parse it and everytime someone visits the page, they'll get a new verse/text" It'd be kinda like the old UNIX fortune program:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_%28program%29
The fortune computer program is commonly distributed with Unix and Linux systems. It displays a wide variety of quotes, "fortune cookies", and other humorous items. Often, users on text-mode terminals will place this command into either their .profile or .logout files to display them at logon and logout, respectively.
I could even add an XML/RSS feed, although I don't know how that would work. Maybe create a script that runs once a day that pulls up a quote and feeds it out to XML/RSS...
That's a longer term project. First I need to sit my ass down and actually get cracking on the actual site itself.
