{coding} a fix for a plugin. More of a hack than a code. PHP developers of the world, it’s not wussy to comment your code.

Even though I’m busy I keep picking it up and sneaking a couple more pages in. I’m fascinated. {Eating} spag bol. Remnants of an 800g pack of mince. Most of it made into burgers…
