Gnarly weekend in a lot of ways. The week ahead should be plain sailing by comparison. Back to coding tomorrow night I hope.

How do I get a table of integers from a MySQL query to a web page and format them as currency? Nested loops? Really?

is writing nested loops. In 2010. For some reason.

Google Latitude seems to think I spend my days in the Thames, just upstream from Westminster Bridge
