lets come up with the books first. This could turn out to be a lot of stuff.

We need a book of browsers, or maybe a book for each browser. A book of haxors. Definatly a book of hosts (could be a parody of acts). We can have a long set of does and donts to parody numbers. Proverbs could take some time.

I can't think of a title for the first book, so here goes (v1-5):
The Beginning
1. In the beginning ARPA created the Internet. Now the Internet was formless and empty, no data flowed over the network, and the Interfaith Message Processor was hovering over the nodes.

And ARPA said, "Let there be protocols," and there were procols. And ARPA saw that the protocols were good, and it seperated the reliable stream from the addressing protocol. ARPA called the reliable protocol "TCP", and the addressing protocol it called "IP".

Dont forget, The ten commandments (http://www.visdesigns.com/design/commandments.html) but anyway heres my contribution...

One day the w3c came to present themselves before the webmaster, and Satan also came with them. The webmaster said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"
Satan answered the client , "Freewbs"
Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my client Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who sits around for ages waiting for my simple background to load"

I warn everyone who downloads the bytes of webpages in this book: If anyone adds anything to them, the IAB will add to him the DDOS described in this book. And if anyone takes bytes away from this book of webpages, the IAB will take away from him his Internet connection which is described in this book.

What?! What's PHP without database or cgi?! Oh, for shame. Even http://www.tripod.lycos.co.uk/ offers database database support (although it has terrible frame adds *shudder*) Oh well, ordinary pages it is then...

Nevermore
08-09-2004, 03:47 AM
Why not store the pages as flat text files and display the contents page with a PHP script:

<?php
$entries=array();
$mydir=dir('/path/to/root/bible/entries');
while(($file = $mydir->read()) !== false) {
if(strlen($file)>3) $entries[]=$file;
}
sort($entries);

for($x=0;$x<count($entries);$x++) {
$title=substr($entries[$x],4,count($entries)-6);
echo($title);
}

?>


If you preface every entry with a 3 digit number, e.g. 001, 002 etc. then it will order them for you. That way you could allow file uploads and use a template to display the contents of the .txt files efficiently.
Obviously a database is still possible, it just strikes me that this sort of system makes it just as easy to add/remove entries and allows people to easily download an entry in .txt format for editing. You could even run a UBB code filter over entries to allow emboldening etc.

You don't need a database to generate dynamic pages, it's just one way to do it.

MstrBob
08-09-2004, 10:41 AM
Oh I know. I made my online journal system flat file at first, and it's very much possible. But I find that databases make it quicker, and can cut down on the amount of code. So I switched it back to mysql. You could have a directory for each book, and a .txt file for each chapter. That way, the main page could display links to each book, and the index page of the entries could give you an option to go to a chapter, or to read straight through. That could be done dynamically with one php page, that the index page of a directory could call to make it easier to update.

As a general rule, databases are better for searching and storing lots of small sections of text, while flat files are good for pulling large chunks of text at a time.

MstrBob

The book of mozilla is just a number of phrases that the developers threw in as little easter eggs. They're pretty much obvious references about mozilla:


And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.

from The Book of Mozilla, 7:15


IE users rejoice as Netscape Navigator dies, but out of it grows Mozilla which is now creating quite a disturbance in the browser world...

Lol. You were creating this without me? *shakes head slowly* No, flatfiles aren't so bad. I myself prefer to use .xml files, semantic files, you know?

Anyways, it'd be best to simply write a small blog-like management script to open and close files. Put each book in a dir (mkdir(), rmdir()) with the individual files as something like foo.php, and the index and intro the index file. To retain correct order, write the name of the latest entry to an XML file, and then explode() the XML file for the list of entries. Once it's set up, it'll be sw33t, trust me.

As long as you use a config file, one copy of header, footer, and includes for ANY kind of scripting. If you don't... I'll pity you. If you're online later tonight I'll try and discuss it with you, and snag the FTP info, ok, RHS? (I hope that had some semblance of sensicleness, btw. :p)

This is Cool! You've got yourselves a participant!

But I've never read the entire bible before, so we're going to need someone with biblical experience. I think we should take each major story inside the bible and assign it to a similar experience that happened during the web (an obvious example would be Genisis, but how would something like The Exodus work?) Then, we take all the major characters from that event and assign them their corresponding characters from real life (characters can be conveniently omitted or added). Plus, we'll probably have to rearrange the bible a little bit because it's gonna be near impossible to make everything correspond.

So let's see, for the first segment of Genisis, we would have three main characters:

God
Adam
Eve

And we also have the lesser beings and the environment (we've dealt with stuff like the enviroment ex) ip but what about the lesser beings?) But doesn't God create Adam and Eve in his own image? How would we do that? (perhaps they were the first networks incorporated in the Internet?)

Let's do this systematically.

Yes you can. How does XML affect directory links? Not at all. And XML is, IMO, the best way to store flat-file data.

What's complicated about it? You'd have everything stored in XML files, and you could easily parse it. It'd be searchable, dynamic, easily updated, and additions could be added easily. Hey, you could even have a line count, with the line number next to each sentence. You could do it dynamically, and people would be able to quote it and everything. Maybe even a feature where you enter in a book, chapter number, and line number to get the line...

Okay, I repent.

However, how are you going to organize the editing process? From what I gather from right now, you want to give a few people exclusive updating access with FTP, but rewriting the bible is a major buisness and will need lots of people working on it. Since we're building the framework right now, how will we do it? Wiki? How do we resolve disputes about the bible conversions?

Just thinking ahead...

First of all, let's think about this. Can someone really sue us? Since we are not copying the Bible and if we don't make money off of it, there are no copyright issues, and we can always claim the right to free speach. And I don't see how it would offend anyone. We're not mocking Chrisitanity or the Bible.

religious freedom and freedom of speech.

I can say that islam is retarded all day long, and the KKK can rally all they like, nobody can sue me or them.

but yeah this is a cool project, and if i knew anything about the bible, i'd help out. sadly, i know nothing =/

Well, Ku Klux Klan isn't allowed to torch lawns (property destruction) or racketeer or recklessly endanger human lives. Free speech doesn't give you the right to do that.

But anyway, this IS a cool project. And you don't need to know about the bible to help. Just know something remotely about writing or the internet or the bible too.

First off, I should point out that I am (or at least claim to be) a Christian, and I see nothing wrong with this from a religious point of view. It's not an attack on Christianity, it's a celebration of the Bible in a new medium.

Secondly, this should not be a problem under copyright legislation. Parody is specifically protected as a form of fair use, this is a non-commercial project and there will only be a small amount (if any) copyrighted material in the result.

That's if we ever get around to starting it, of course. I've been playing around with PhpWiki (http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/) as a possible content management system.

In addition, the bible is not copyrighted (although some editions of it are... silly people... they compile a version of the bible and copyright it)

Great! Now, I must get working on Genesis. Right now, let's compile a list of links that lead to good sites on the history of the Internet.

A Consolidation of What We Have Right Now
all ideas are referenced back to their authors in the thread (I'm too lazy to credit everybody here)

Books
We need a book of browsers, or maybe a book for each browser. A book of haxors. Definatly a book of hosts (could be a parody of acts). We can have a long set of does and donts to parody numbers. Proverbs could take some time.

Hello World (Genesis)
The Book of Protocols (Proverbs)
The Book of Lag (Lamentations)
The Book of Google (one of the major prophets, possibly Isaiah)
0 & 1 Tim Berners-Lee (1 & 2 Timothy)
Book of Mozilla

Book of Mozilla (easter eggs)
And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.

from The Book of Mozilla, 7:15



Genisis
The Beginning
1. In the beginning ARPA created the Internet. Now the Internet was formless and empty, no data flowed over the network, and the Interfaith Message Processor was hovering over the nodes.

And ARPA said, "Let there be protocols," and there were procols. And ARPA saw that the protocols were good, and it seperated the reliable stream from the addressing protocol. ARPA called the reliable protocol "TCP", and the addressing protocol it called "IP".

Matthew
ARPANET begat (i know i'm wrong after this) JANET, and JANET begat SPILNET, and SPILNET begat ARAFAT, and ARAFAT begat ALGORE, and ALGORE begat the INTERNET.

Ending
I warn everyone who downloads the bytes of webpages in this book: If anyone adds anything to them, the IAB will add to him the DDOS described in this book. And if anyone takes bytes away from this book of webpages, the IAB will take away from him his Internet connection which is described in this book.

Amen. Come, IPv6.

Other quotes that I don't know their origin
One day the w3c came to present themselves before the webmaster, and Satan also came with them. The webmaster said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"
Satan answered the client , "Freewebs"
Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my client Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who sits around for ages waiting for my simple background to load"

-Making the internet bible out of php is inscribing it with sin.
-And with ASP is to say that the religion of internet should bow to M$, and become Gate's *****.

Original sin should be when tables were first used for layout. The guy who wrote that book about it should be the snake, and the webdevelopers were Adam and Eve, in a paradise of new technology. God should be Tim Beners-Lee or whatever his name is, for he "gave life to this great expanse of data." the devil should be ron jeremy, with his pron universe as his minions. -Yes! That's perfect! He tempts the citizens of the internet, and is banished from society. (*is trying to make this sound biblical*)

And open source did anger the beast, and born from its rage a hail of patents did rain down upon those who dared defy (or were just generaly indifferent to) the beast.

All right, is anyone still interested in this project, or is it officially scrapped?
