This made me realize a decent number of people were reading it and I felt sort of bad that I had it displayed with such a crappy layout. The grey background and white text on a stand alone page made the tutorial look very low quality, so I decided to give it a make over and add a section on the Split and Join functions:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patorjk.com\/programming\/tutorials\/vbarrays.htm\">http:\/\/www.patorjk.com\/programming\/tutorials\/vbarrays.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also, there will be more updates to the programming section soon. It&#8217;s been pretty sparse for a while.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"genericBlogHeader\">Links<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve created a formal link section. On my old website, I had a link exchange program. I will no longer do this. Mainly because I had a lot of crappy links submitted to me, and at the time I figured it was better to be nice and do the link exchange than to reject someone who probably visited my page regularly. However, I actually ended up having a few people email me asking why I had a couple of really crappy sites linked (I wont name names). I&#8217;m sure this caused them (and others) not to trust the link suggestions I gave. There was also the problem with people unlinking me after I linked them, which was annoying (especially if I didn&#8217;t like their site to begin with).<\/p>\n<p>So now I&#8217;m just going to limit it to sites that I like, think are interesting, have useful\/relevant content, and feel are worth checking out. As time goes on I hope to add a lot more than what&#8217;s there now. I haven&#8217;t decided if I want to focus on smaller sites or just interesting sites in general. My gut is to go with smaller sites, but we shall see.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"genericBlogHeader\">Sleep<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t been getting much sleep lately. I guess there&#8217;s no point to me saying that here, but I&#8217;m pretty tired right now and felt like sharing :P. There was actually going to be more added today, I just didn&#8217;t get around to it, maybe this weekend though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VB Arrays Tutorial I noticed from my stats page that chicanerous&#8217; VB Arrays tutorial was getting between 8 and 10 views a day.
