   You just downloaded the plugin file, didn’t you? ;)

   You wanted it ’cause it’s cool as heck. Although the popup pictures seem to drift a little as they get farther down the page. Hmm… Never said it was perfect.

   Hey be nice! I went through the tutorial I swear!!! And then I got parse errors upon activation. And I compared my file with yours and they looked the same except for indentation. So I uploaded yours to see what would happen and no parse errors. So I left it. But I swear I went through that tutorial… twice even. ;-)

   You know I’m just kidding… :p

   Well, I hope you could follow the tutorial at least, and understand what’s going on.

   I should mention that I’ve been playing with a new text editor today, PSPad, and it has a lot of the Telerana features (like the folder browser on the side, and tabs), but it also has a file comparing function and some other things that you’ve been “needing” (according to me, anyway). Plus, like Telerana, it’s free. :)

   What’s funny is that I wrote the whole tutorial before I put down a line of code. So I basically followed my own tutorial to create the pluigin.

   array_map() is a pretty goofy function, but I find it very useful. The PHP documentation for it does a decent job of explaining it. array_map() basically does the same thing as this:

   $a=array('one', 'two', 'three');
foreach($a as $key => $item) {
$b[$key] = "modified $a";
}
return $b;

   You send an array ($a) to array_map with the name of a function that will modify each array item, and you get back a new array with modified items ($b).

   Oops. That should be:

   $b[$key] = "modified $item";

   Duh.

   I am so totally geeking out all over the place today.

   Nifty thing! :D
   *makes a mental note: remember to add the dash between ’spoken’ and ‘for’ the next time…*

   Yeah so far it only works for FireFox as I discovered later. It doesn’t work in Opera or IE either. It’s something having to do with the CSS, but I can’t figure it out – I’ve tried every method that I know of to hack it to get it to work, but so far, no dice. >:|
