Everybody makes their own fun. If you don't make it yourself, it ain't fun -- it's entertainment. – David Mamet (as relayed by Joss Whedon)

Yay tags

Just tagified my site (does that make me web 2.0?). Incidentally, I just discovered that MySQL's API returns all result data as strings. So, even if your field is a number (say, your primary key), you get a string back. Weird.

Update: Incidentally, tag renaming is a pretty hard problem. You have to watch for recursive renames... and what happens if there's already a tag for the tag name you're trying to rename a tag to? You'll have to run through every associated tag table and update all the old ids to the new one, but it's not like there's only ever one association table (i.e. if I tag my weblog entries, and I make a tagged bookmark system, and have my wiki pages tagged, I'll have three different associated tables), so the tag library can't know what it has to update unless you tell it about all those tables. So, it's messy.
