If there's a splinter faction that also likes the C4 program "Spaced"
then I fear I might well have to cope with being assimilated *shrugs*
Reminds me of the old sig "We are Pentium of Borg. Division is
futile. You will be approximated"[1]

No, it's home-brew. FWIW, it can only cope with the default settings
of your average PHP installation (ie: session variables are stashed in
files "somewhere" on the filesystem of the server) but that tends to
be more than good enough for the places that I've had to use it....

WDDX? Web Distributed Data eXchange? Not seen it before, but a random
poking about the various sites shows that it might be
interesting. Seems to handle data types, too, so changing back to a
more strongly typed language might not be such a nightmare.
