fibonacci
So here I am doing some designs when I think, hmm, maybe I will use the golden ratio to lay out the design, Fibonacci's Spiral and what not, but the amount of tedious workings out.. (having to use a pencil..tedious...physical movement you see..) so I wrote a script. I don't really like using C# for scripts, being it isn't a script but.. sometimes you just want something like putty in your hands to quickly test a hypothesis or whatnot, and PHP is great for that. Big project, ASP.NET but a little versatile albeit-unable-to-really-report-errors-very-well scripting language, PHP is the don.

Blogular activity has suffered a little here; but setting up a workshop and devising plans to build steam engine in said workshop will do that to you. Today some simple code, written to simplify showing abstract classes. Every tutorial I see they throw in stupid code that isn't really needed to show the primal functionality of abstract classes. So here is an example that has nothing more than what it needs.
