Updating Code Snippets Here

I just noticed many of the code snippets here are broken, I think because Andrew was using a syntax highlighter that I don’t have. Even if I had his syntax highlighter, I recently decided to avoid non-necessary plugins.

So presently we are re-translating all the old code snippets (one at a time) using the WordPress “Visual” editor. When that is finished, all the code snippets will be visible without a syntax-highlighting plugin, which should keep the blog running fast going forward as we grow. This might take weeks, as there are dozens of these code snippets scattered throughout the blog, but I feel it’s worth the effort.

However, I can’t guarantee there won’t be a few mistakes here and there. So I apologize in advance. If you do find a mistake, don’t hesitate to let me know. Andrew is a great writer and coder, so I trust his code and will try to reproduce what he gave me as best as I can manage. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to recreate (for testing purposes) the state of mind and software environment that Andrew had while publishing these snippets. And then there’s the idiosyncrasies of the WordPress visual editor, etc.
