I needed some PHP code to randomly generate me a hex value for use as a color in a webpage. Here’s what I came up with (WARNING: Some colors are UGLY!)
function random_hex() {
$color = '';
for ($c = 0; $c < 6; $c++) {
$i = rand(0, 15);
switch ($i) {
case 10 :
$i = 'A';
break;
case 11 :
$i = 'B';
break;
case 12 :
$i = 'C';
break;
case 13 :
$i = 'D';
break;
case 14 :
$i = 'E';
break;
case 15 :
$i = 'F';
break;
default :
$i = $i;
break;
}
$color .= $i;
}
$color = '#' . $color;
return $color;
}
Those crazy kids over at Flickr are playing along with all the gossip going around about them being bought out – check out the logo that they have up as of right now. Even better – the file is called ‘gossipgossipgossip.gif’ – I love it!
Comments Disabled
Well, I’ve had enough of dealing with blog-comment-spam for now, so I’ve decided to disable comments until I can come up with a satisfactory solution. I have 123 blog posts that I’m going to have go through by hand – AGAIN – to remove spam from. I don’t have time for this, but I refuse to be a PageRank monkey for these losers by leaving their links up and accessible on my site.
It really saddens me to have to do this, and I think it reflects very poorly on the current state of the internet. Damn the idiots who are blog-comment-spamming, damn them to hell and back. People like you are making the internet a worse place to be. We’d all be much happier if you would go away and die in a hole somewhere.
