Kay, this is definitely OT, but I couldn't resist:
Truth is universal, and in many cases, beyond our daily perception (that being a
different animal than our philosophical perception :). But this day to day perception
is wonderful because it allows us to filter ultimate truth through our experiences,
that which makes us who we are, and formulate "the truth according to me". I think
that is kind of what Krisnamurti is talking about, personal truth and universal truth,
and how, often we get bogged down by thinking that our personal truth is the only
truth (this is how wars start, how love is lost and is the home of hate). On a
microcosmic scale we all have our own truth, and they are all valid, *for us*, but
there is the greater universal truth which permeates through all, that is irrefutable,
immutable and sublimely satisfying. The only part of which I am sure about is that I
can't be sure of anything and that everything will always change. Strangely, I find
solace in that. Its like a great big dynamic application always adapting to the needs
of its user.
Well, I guess i owe a tip (I know its an EVOLT thing, but I still think its good form)\
<tip type="dynamic relative links in ASP" author="Stephen Caudill">
I ran into a problem last week where I had a stylesheet and a 'server.execute' in
the same include file which was included across multiple levels of depth in the
directory structure and the relative links were breaking. This has two obvious
solutions right off: use an absolute path or a constant that represents the root of
the web site. The problem with these is: if you develop anywhere but the destination
server, you'll inevitably have to go back and change paths or a variable or
something... This is why people came up with <!-- #include virtual=""-->, but you
can't use in the case of a 'server.execute' or stylesheet, so I came up with this lil
script:
<%
path = request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")
pathArray = split(path, "/")
depth = ubound(PathArray) - 1
'response.Write(depth)
function seeDepth(depth)
for x = 0 to depth
response.Write("../")
next
end function
%>
example html:
<img src="<%=seeDepth(depth)%>/images/my.gif" />
so call this inline and refer to everything from the root of the webserver up and no
matter where you stick that code in your directory, it will always work as expected.
