// This is the result of about an hour's delving into PHP's hairy-ass serialization internals.
// PHP provides a session_decode function, however, it's only useful for setting the contents of
// $_SESSION.  Say, for instance, you want to decode the session strings that PHP stores in its
// session files -- session_decode gets you nowhere.
//
// There are a bunch of nasty little solutions on the manual page[1] that use pretty hairy regular
// expressions to get the job done, but I found a simple way to use PHP's unserialize and recurse
// through the string extracting all of the serialized bits along the way.

  As of version 1.1.2, Propane will load and execute the contents of
  ~Library/Application Support/Propane/unsupported/caveatPatchor.js
  immediately following the execution of its own enhancer.js file.

  You can use this mechanism to add your own customizations to Campfire
  in Propane.

  Below you'll find two customization examples.

Solving Embarrasingly Simple Problems in Factor

This Article has struck a chord with me. I'm not an Erlang-er, but the style he describes of "writing many tiny functions" strongly reminds me of why I've come to love Factor.
