May 18 and on this day, the dark con of The Da Vinci Code hits the screens. Be quick with the pain, the next week is when the X alumni return for another instalment.

Interesting for the take on it all, Haunt Of Horror Edgar Allan Poe #1. James Earl Jones on The Raven was good, but how this will work with the moody setting and the execution, that's the interesting part.

Smartly small and quick left jab from under the chin, Fell #5. Always great knowing that the comic in hand finishes out the story at the last page and yet is able to linger a little into a bit of the next.

 

Much like anything with a nose dipped in black oil, the spam hitting the box offers the usual suspects. Drugs cheaper than the back streets, software more official than official and degrees in obscure markets and propositions. Every now and then, an email comes through looking to do less than that and more at the same time.

Such as pimp a book and/or movie about to hit or hit again.

Langdon looked again at the fax an ancient myth confirmed in black and white.
The implications were frightening. He gazed absently through the bay window.
The first hint of dawn was sifting through the birch trees in his backyard,
but the view looked somehow different this morning. As an odd combination of fear and
exhilaration settled over him, Langdon knew he had no choice
The man led Langdon the length of the hangar. They rounded the corner onto the runway.

Escapes the filters for sure. But doesn't really add any notoriety points on behalf of the faked sender and header info. Unfortunately, these kinds of emails never do complete the story or even go about as the kindly send the rest in full context. Such a great opportunity lost.

 

Cranking code to tweak and rip out some sense of the tagging system on the site is one way to find out about functions never before seen.

Put merely as a gibberish line of text, the keywords in the tags are nothing more than a mess to wade through. Working out how to put the flavour of links and sense in frequency a little on the hard side. Thankfully, there's such a thing as pre-made functions.

array_count_values()
Messy array getting things down? Run this and the nasty nasty gets itself sorted out with a tally of appearances. Great for working out how many times a word pops up in an array.

array_keys()
When the sorting is out and done, running this juice keys up a fresh order on the array, spitting out a new one for good measure. This one is right for making more sense, given that the order will find out how to step in line after each other.

Or at least, that's the thinking behind putting these two in a brand new script.
