In an ironic twist of fate, the famed general store and restaurant known for the most expensive dessert at $25,000, featured in quite a few movies, and not counting the one that was named after it, was forced to shut down for failing a health inspection. Apparently caused by our favorite pest of homes, the rodents and roaches.

One could’ve imagined for a restaurant with a typical 4-hour queue and managed to offer a ludicuruosly expensive dessert could afford at least a decent sanitary practice.

I mean, is it really too hard to pay a regular visit to the cold and damp areas to check on vermins?

And by the way, here’s a recipe for the famed Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, courtesy of Oprah.

I built a Guestbook maintenance system back in 1999 using Perl. It uses flat text datafiles for storage, and supports templating control of output.

Halfway through development, I was introduced to PHP3 and MySQL. And I feel there’s no need to continue working on it. It’s been sitting on my hard drive for ages until I decided to release it after those years. It may not be relevant nowadays in the world of complex CMSes and stuff, but who knows, somebody might find a use there :)

I’ll let you judge it yourself:

The list of Guestbook entries page, with a link to the Add new entry page. This will be the where the visitors get to view and add entries.

The GuestMaster Admin screen. This is where you get to manage the posts. Username: admin, Password: admin. The change password function won’t work, though.

And the download links:

GuestMaster 0.1 Beta, Gzipped Tarball, 11kB

GuestMaster 0.1 Beta, Zipped, 16kB

I wouldn’t recommend you using it in production environment as it is not tested. Besides, it is flawed security-wise on many areas. I trust you people to figure it out in a short time.
