This place went from being one of the least reliable websites I frequent on low speeds to being easily the fastest and least likely to stop loading. Yay!

That's the story of my life right there, hot blondes chasing after me!
(In my dreams *cry*)
Yeah, what's up with the cat pr0n on this site!
Never hesitate to ask. It's always better to investigate and learn, than ignore and give up. And think it's out-of-line, either; this site was a rewrite of Y-Reviews (my review site), which was the first real full site I ever wrote in PHP, and was consequently in retrospect, a security nightmare
"Alls I know is I hit the 'nip one too many times last night, and woke up with my face all sticky!"
Aw man?
Now I know why cats lick themselves!
Oh, and thanks...I guess?
I can't believe that for a second!
I wrote that when I was still in college. We didn't cover security at all in college. It's pretty laughable how bad that entire program was, but that may be the worst part. The following topics were not even mentioned: SSL/TLS, encryption, hashing, input sanitation, man-in-the-middle, session IDs, cross site scripting, cross site request forgeries, phishing.
Congnisant of this, I made an expressed effort after graduation to focus on that aspect. The best I could say is that I had basic sense to eliminate logical flaws to cheat the system, but it wouldn't have stopped any of the numerous common attacks.
