This is a tumbling log of things and thoughts that pass my way.

What is it with PHP programmers and this date and time? As far as I can tell, it was once used in an example of how to tell a browser not to cache a page (by setting the Expires header to a date in the past). It looks like that example was copied so many times, and now appears in so many places, that these days many PHP programmers just treat it as a kind of “magic number”. Copy-and-paste programming at its finest.
Or does the date have some special significance that I’m just missing?
