im trying to make sense of this.

[texasvtak]

He typed it all up, probably made the code overly complicated in an attempt to make it look good, may or may not have succeeded at that, but was somehow logged out before he hit submit. Its happened to me before. Sucks when its something you spend time on.

[lucid]

There is no overly complicated code here, my friends. I simply spent too long typing and was timed out by the time I went to post.

[JoshM]

Well, all is clear now.
Post some pics up!
