Hello You, Crazy You.

Well, if you're wondering what I've been up to, it's not much. I took yet another break. Blah blah blah. Sometime ago, I implemented a very fat, yes fat, template output system. It's based on an idea I had quite a while back, but like all templates, it supposedly makes the job of the developer easier. In this case, I think it does, as it allows the developer to use straight markup to dictate content and design. Just like Mom used to make. Think "1991 the Web is so Cool" meets Blogger++.

I popped out a generic CSS design called "Bamboo". You can also get a sneak peak at the type of functionality the form XML can produce, as wells as a very rough idea of how multiple entries are displayed. Nobody cares.

The L.O.Q.U. Form XML is just some dumb idea I had, where an HTML form is created from an XML file. The XML file contains the data checks, preprocessing instructions, postprocessing instructions, and the regular HTML attributes. Why did I do this? Basically, I think that it's dumb to continually rewrite server scripts to handle new types of form input. Short answer: I'm lazy, and I am not fond of repetitive work.

I've also put a hold on the entire "no SQL" stance for this setup, as I realize that SQL is just easier for other purposes. Nobody cares.
