Ligatures & Diphthongs

A ligature is a unique pairing of two (or three) letters that become one glyph for no other reason, than it makes print design more beautiful. A Diphthong is the pairing of two vowels in any spoken language that form a new sound.
I love that pairings are often greater than the sum of the whole. My wife and I are exponentially better together than we ever were individually. It amazes me that God thinks the same thing about me and Him.

Frustrating

I wrote my own podcasting app in PHP a long time ago, but it’s worked so well I’ve never had to really tweak it. But any mp3’s ending with the letter “P” in the filename are getting the trailing “p” truncated. WEIRD. Now I’ve got to go figure it out.

Update: Turns out it was a quirk with the trim() function in PHP. Still not sure why, and I haven’t seen it documented. Fixed it with a str_replace() hack. I really just need to implement an ID3 tag reader. Another day, maybe.
