A note to everyone doing web forms that do email address validitiy checks: Having a '+' in the username is VALID. For example bma+spam@thunderkeys.net is a validly formed email address. Don't make me hate you by having your web form tell me otherwise.

Or better yet, just use the Email::Valid perl module.

I tweaked the picture gallery stuff a bit today to base it off of Stephen's version of my gallery code, which doesn't use a database backend. Should make doing new updates a little easier :) All of the old links should still work, but let me know if you run into any problems.

Sometimes, you just have to laugh... because otherwise, you'll cry...

Update 3/20: In case anyone was wondering, it's pretty much impossible to get out completely. It is, afterall, waterproof...

So we got some new flooring (BR-111 Brazilian Cherry hardwood where possible, engineered on areas that were over concrete slab) installed today on our main level (except in the bathroom and laundry room area, which are - or will be - tile).

The installers showed up around 9:30am and finished up around 5:30pm (just before the rain came, yay!).

Of course, I took some pictures of the process.

We used New York Carpet & Rug (based in Springfield) and were very happy with both the price and service they delivered. Highly recommended.
