So I finally got around to doing input sanitization in the correct way on this site. I’m glad not enough people come to this site to notice little things like the crap I had up here until today. Luckily, no one dropped my database and now it should be a much harder task for malicious folk. I’ve also started coding a new and separate site that will allow me to play more with Java and databases. The first thing I need to do is figure out the specifics of the database layout and start putting together some example code. I may use this site as a preliminary study on such work.
I am glad I got away from Ruby on Rails. The overhead for doing really crazy things is far to time consuming to learn and expand within RoR. I want to control my code, not be forced into a single paradigm.
So the first main addition to this site that will be used later is a simple user system. Second on the list is a simple editing system. From there, I can expand it into what I need for the future.
