Stupid story time

This probably isn't novel to anyone else, but it was a huge deal to me =
at the time.

One morning my manager came and told me that sales had sold a "splash" =
ad (meaning a big annoying ad was supposed to come up on a users first =
request to the site, no matter where on the site the request is for.)  =
Anyway, we'd never even talked about doing anything like that, and =
suddenly we had a client expecting it to go up in a week.

At first i had no idea how we were going to do it, because of the mix of =
static and dynamic content on the site. =20

I ended up doing the whole thing in a couple of hours as an =
AccessHandler.

  I've got an article coming out in SysAdmin Magazine in January that=20
  is more about the power of the Apache API than about the normal
  response phase workings. =20

  I think the API is what really separates mod_perl from other similar
  technologies.  And I think we all agree that this is what needs to be
  stressed more to the public to gain better adoption.=20
