AES and PHP
PoeticIntensity
After receiving a warning in my PHP implementation of AES encryption (which is called Rijndael), I did a quick google, and found one match - and it happened to be in planet larry, so... I clicked on the link to go to the blog which contained the fix, and found it wasn't there anymore... So.. I thought I'd just copy the answer and ...

Blue Aces Bring The Heat!
AudioGuru
With as little sleep as I got last night, when I woke up this morning, I was a bit worried about the Aces' session today. Man alive! I don't know what I was worried about! These girls nailed their new song, Fooled Twice, wholeheartedly! Spot-on timing, vocals, tunes, and had a great time, to boot.
You're gonna love it!&nbs...

Hmm.... I can't help but contrast a note like this one being sent between friends today. Holy cow.

I spent today away from my sweetheart, so I thought I'd see what kind of a "1 day love song" I could write to her. So, I took approximately 5 hours and wrote her a love song.... or something... It's my first attempt at recording myself playing guitar, and the lyrics consist of 8 whole words. So... Here ya go. ...

AudioGuru
So, last night we finished recording the first two songs from a band called Fatigi. One of the best recording sessions ever.
So, on Tuesday evening, Adam, Christian, and Robert came in, with drums in hand, ready to get to work.
We tracked drums first, which, for my studio, is rare - mostly because drums can get monotonous with nothing b...

As an adolescent I had a dream...
I had a dream of becoming a drummer for a rock-band. I was told that this dream probably would not come true due to the large amount of people trying to do the same thing and that the odds were definitely against me.
Well... Lately in my life I have had the opportunity to be a part of two rock bands. One o...

PoeticIntensity
Today, I woke up at 6:00am, after getting a maximum of 4 hours of sleep (and it would only be 4 hours if I wasn't woken up in the middle of the night multiple times, which I was, so it was actually less)

Anyway, I woke up at 6,...

Mosiah : 14
PoeticIntensity
One question comes to mind this time reading chapter 14 and the beginning of 15.
Why in the world did Abinadi think these priests could understand what he was talking about?
An interesting perspective can be had when the audience of each scripture is considered.
The thing I don't get about these chapters (14 and 15), is that the doctrine A...
