The Core

Looks like 852,000,000 pages beat me to it

Happy New Year.

You using php, LM?  Perl finally get too old?

I am not coding as much as I used to, but most of the stuff I've done recently has been in PHP.  Not much out there is supporting Perl these days.  For web stuff PHP is hard to beat convenience wise.

I assume a fair number of those pages are automatic updates, but a fair number of people also seemed to have anticipated 2021 by a few days. Ever since Brian Dean told everyone to do it, that little tip has become a lot less useful.

>>assume it was never really a problem

This is a fundamental problem. Maintenance tasks of all sorts - Y2K bugs in code, deteriorating bridges, etc - get no glory. Politicians can't get photo ops at a properly maintained bridge.

Anyway, Happy New Year everyone!

All in all, 2020 turned out much better for us than I expected back at the end of March. If 2021 merely comes in as an "average" year, I'll be quite pleased. My standards have reset a bit ;-)
