Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL]I have done a blog to some extent.
Oh my.
I found the source code for Minimalist Dong 0.7a, the final release. It's a live, working copy so I'll need to pull out some surplus content but I'll push it out to Chinwag Code soon and you can all marvel at some circa 2001 PHP code I wrote.
I have tagged this upload as a release because I think that's hilarious.

@mike it's a really interesting one with the double #, but yeah we're out of ideas

fraggLe!@mike Man, upside down in gitmo with a towel over my face you still couldn't get me to publicly release PHP I wrote in the early 2000s.
Respect!
