ip2long, 32-bit/64-bit

It is a common practice, to use ip2long() function for getting integer-representation of ip-address (for database-storage).

Some things which happened while I wasn’t blogging

Haiku OS reported on their Google Summer of Code results

Makes me think, that I should really-really get some old mac-mini and install Haiku on it. At least, I can program some fancy Jukebox out of it

www.milkfarmsoft.com up and running

Web site of my company (Milk Farm Sotware, ltd.) is kinda “alive” again. The design is brand-new, the content is partially updated.
