At work all the women seem to stop ageing at 25 so today I had my very first “25th” birthday. I bought some candy for people at work (we do that..).<\/p>\n

Not much special about today, though. I did get a nice water boiler for a present and some money from my grandparents. I’m either going to buy some kitchenware (pots and pans) or Duma Key by Stephen King (published on Jan 22!).<\/p>\n

I just took part<\/a> in Pizero<\/a>‘s theme contest. When I was reading the post I thought, “I’ll take part if I get to be number 42.” And what do you know, the last comment was number 41. Of course I have to try my luck!<\/p>\n

I remember thinking about something to write on my way to the train station this morning but now I can’t remember what it was.<\/p>\n


\n[Edit (30 seconds later…)] Now I remember! As I was updating the site to update my age in the sidebar and on the about page, I got to thinking “can’t this be done with PHP without having to go through this HUUUUGE task [ \";)\" ] every year?” Well, yes it can! For example<\/p>\n

<?php echo date(‘Y’)-year of birth<\/em>; ?><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now my site will remember how old I am even if I forget.
\n[Edit almost a year later] Now that I’m almost a year older (and the year has changed…) I’ve noticed that code bit is OF COURSE not enough. Now I created this little function.<\/p>\n

function myage() {
\n$myage = date(‘Y’)-year of birth<\/em>;
\n$mymonth = date(‘n’);
\n$myday = date(‘j’);
\nif ($mymonth >= month of birth<\/em> && $myday >= day of birth<\/em>) {
\nreturn $myage;
\n} else {
\nreturn $myage-1;
\n}
\n}<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
