Hello, and welcome to brokenribgolfer.com. If this site looks familiar, that's because it is a new iteration of symmetricwebsites.com which no longer exists and will be phased out. All of the old content will be moved to our archives. We will keep it because it may have some relevance to visitors. We will be tracking pagehits and if we find that an article becomes irrelavent then we might remove it. The site looks a bit messy and perhaps confusing and for that we apologize. Hang in there with us and you will see us clean things up and add some interesting, thorough, and well written articles.

A few things to mention here. First, this website cannot offer content guarantees. However, every article written has been tested at the original publication date. Also, along the line of accuracy, we would really appreciate hearing from you, especially if you find any content errors. We will credit you with your input however curremtly this is not iyet an interactive website. We also welcome questions and will answer all of them in a timely manner. You will notice the complete absense of advertising on this site. We plan to keep it this way. We have no issue with others making money through advertising, even over advertising, but our goal is simply to share information.

All future/new articles on this site will be open source related. We support all open source inititives, and organizations who offer fully functioning community versions of their products.

Notice: All new and/or reformatted articles on this website offer code snippet copying. Recently it was pointed out that copied code contained a leading and trailing blank line. This was an error on my part and has been corrected. Many thanks to the anonymous reader for pointing this out.
