revjim.net

revjim.net now has a RevJimWiki. It's powered by a customized version of WakkaWiki. The most substantial thing in it, currently, is my RSSAggregatorIdea.

Some friends and I are planning to attend the The Plantersville, TX (Houston, TX area) Renaissance Festival this weekend.

while($data = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) {
$rtn[] = $data[$field];
}

return $rtn;

}
