June 2003

I have converted all my HTML 4.01 Transitional documents to XHTML 1.1. This has resulted in a much cleaner source, and a more unified look across the site. Also, it'll make maintaining the site much easier for me. The only disadvantage with this is that when you want to jump to a specific date in the news, you have to add an n before the date. This is because in XHTML, you aren't allowed to start <a id="..."s with a numeral. So if you wanted this news item, you'd add #n11062003 #n2003-06-11 (later changed to ISO 8601) to the end of the URL.

StatBar 0wnz j00 (the first and last time you'll ever see me writing leet-speak (probably)).

The fact that \((a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2\) is much easier understood with this picture, and as such, the Graphs & Functions page has been updated accordingly (with comments):

A picture visualizing the mathematical expression (a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2.

I learned how to find the x values of a second degree function that lacks a constant in a much easier way than using that bitchy quadratic formula. Search for the text string "85 sounds more like it". My explanation is just below that on my Graphs & Functions page.
