At the top of each PHP file in IP.Dynamic I’ve added the date I started writing that file. I figured that it’d serve as a reminder of when the file was written and be handy when it comes to maintaining and updating the files. I can’t rely of the ctime and mtime values in the filesystem as I have a habit of copying files instead of starting new empty documents.
For kicks, I wrote a quick PHP script to parse each file for this date and print out a list of them whilst counting the day of the week it was started on. The results are below:
[Monday] => 21[Tuesday] => 35[Wednesday] => 39[Thursday] => 11[Friday] => 32[Saturday] => 0[Sunday] => 0
Apparently Thursday is a quiet day for the creation of new files.

The age old questions: Do statistics describe us or bind us?

Just out of curiosity, do you use any type of version/source control on your projects?

hehe, All work no play.
I have the habit of copying files I wrote as well, instead of creating new documents.
I guess its a laziness thing with me.
It makes sense though, because I would just be copying the header out of another one of my source files anyway.
