				<strong>Video Game Quotes</strong> is a little project that I decided to tackle one day. I gave
				myself a week to implement everything and throw it up on the internet.
			</p>

			<p>
				The inspiration for the site was that there were a lot of awesome video game quotes, but sadly,
				no central place to go to find/search/read them. That made me sad.
			</p>

			<p>
				The infrastructure is modeled after <a href="http://bash.org/">bash.org</a>, which is a database
				of IRC quotes. One thing I wanted to make sure of was that it shouldn't require you to login or
				register. No email addresses, or usernames, or passwords. The site keeps track of who has voted
				for what based on IP address, which admittedly is a quite fragile. But it's the only way to 
				unique-ish-ly identify someone without requiring a login. So, you could totally game the system
				by voting, resetting your router, closing your browser, and voting again. I won&#39;t stop you.

		<h3>Technical Details</h3>
		<div class="inset">
			<p>
				The site was written in C&#9839; using <a href="http://www.asp.net/mvc">ASP.NET MVC 2</a>, 
				<a href="http://unity.codeplex.com/">Unity</a> and <a href="http://nhforge.org/">NHibernate</a>.
				It runs on <a href="http://nginx.org/">nginx</a> using <a href="http://www.mono-project.com/">Mono</a>
				via FastCGI on Ubuntu. It uses MySQL for the backend.
