Lacking rhythm
Dear band seemingly comprised of drums, keyboard, saxophone and guitar. You are not good. You are little more than bad noise.
Database excitement
Tomorrow’s comic is number 256. How do I know this you ask? Well, I had the database set to keep track of unique comics using the TINYINT format. Judging on the fact that I was unable to add tomorrow’s comic, TINYINTs only allow for 8 bits of data to be stored. Anything above 256 is out. […]
The Death of Ones and Zeros
