My trip back from MontrĂ©al to Beijing was considerably less triumphant than I had hoped, as I was struck by a severe plague and ended up spending 9 very miserable days in bed with a high fever and nasty cough. One might think that being confined to bed for a week would be a nice thing, but the stunning boredom that sets in after a while is quite unbearable. You’re too tired to really work hard, focus on TV or movies, or even really read a book, but so sick of sleeping that you crave doing something.
And so, I updated the chipmunkninja.com website. I’ve long hated my initial design with forums and my crappy del.icio.us tagging scheme, so I finally fixed those up and now have a proper tagging system, some fun stats on the right side, and paging, so you don’t have to view every single article on one page now.
It’s still a rather ugly shade of red and contains the finest in 2005 style, but that’s a project another day ….
Bugs, comments, or suggestions, feel free to add a comment or drop me a line. Always glad to hear from readers.



Whats programming language have you learned through years? Are you going to write more books? I would love if you could write books on java,c++ and c and other web programming language such as dot net,jsp or maybe others like perl/vb with the same approach+toc you've done with the php+mysql book.
basically produce books that teach us programming standard window-system GUI applications.
The application examples are a great add on...It helps you better understanding the whole concept and how to do it especially if you start building from scratch and feeling clueless and assist you a lot in guiding you through the process. thanks
