Stan-four-d at Tsinghua

The name’s a little silly, I admit, but I couldn’t think of a better pun. In the summer of 2006, I with three other Stanford students (hence, the “four”) went abroad to China as a part of a pilot exchange program between Stanford’s and Tsinghua’s engineering schools. The group thought it’d be neat to have our own web log of the experiences. As the web “expert” in the group, I created my own blogging engine as a way to practice PHP. Not knowing MySQL at the time, I used the filesystem.
