Seriously, if you want to post rude comments.. reveal yourself. The purpose on this site is to liberate my mind, so if you offend me.. don't.
I'm sorry. I'm not exactly sure WHO you are, but apparently you're really bent on annoying me. You seem too cowardly to confront me using your real name, meaning you're not worth my time. I'm going to make this short.

"Is Greymatter free? Are there any strings attached? Do I have to donate to you?
Yes, no, and no. =) Greymatter is absolutely one-thousand-percent a free program; download it, use it, enjoy it, and don't worry about any ifs, ands, or buts?because there aren't any. There aren't any icons you're required to keep on your page, there aren't any banner ads you're required to display, there's no time limit that's going to kick in down the road. (If there ever is a Greymatter 2.0/Greymatter Pro version in the future, I *might* charge a fee for that, but all 1.x versions are now and always will be completely free.) Donating will certainly make me very happy, but that's not required either. "

Well, since there isn't really any authorship credit page on my site, I never linked to Noah, but I never took credit for this script either. If Noah wanted me to post an image/link to his site.. I would gladly do it. Greymatter is the best piece of journaling software I've ever implemented on any website. I would never take credit for something that I didn't do.
Posting a link on my site wouldn't do much. www.phidong.com brings in less than 20 hits a week if not a month. I have vouched for Noah Grey's software in countless places and have never denied or taken credit for his software running my non-commercial journal page.
Seriously, I give him all credit. He basically runs my site:
"Noah Grey is cool.. definitely a true inspiration. I actually stumbled across him while making a journal website (Grey Matter).. its also the script he uses to display all his images in his photo journal, and he puts it out there for people to d/l..
Great script.. even better photography. His pictures are all so crisp and clear and nice.. well composed... thanks for the interview.. it made for an interesting read. "
"Nate, try grey matter. Its one of the most powerful scripts I've used for journal sites. You can check it out in action at www.phidong.com .. Its super easy to modify/skin.. and easy to implement as well.
It was written by a really great photographer too, which uses it on his site as a photo journal (www.noahgrey.com)
and you can check out the script here:

Good luck.
[edit]
Heres a screen shot of how I update.. "
"Really? Thats quite odd.. I didn't think greymatter used mySQL? At least I have it on two servers .. one @ www.philoader.net/pdi/ and that server doesn't have mySQL at all..
and I have one installed at phidong.com which ahs mySQL but I don't have a database set up =x"
If you scroll down to my messages, you will see I refered him to many people. If you seriously think that I'm dishonoring him by not posting a link on this page.. you are wrong. You're right in one regard though, there is a link missing on my page, and I've added it. No, not to his journal software but to his photo journal page which I visit regularly. Noah is a great photographer and an inspiration to me. 'Nuff said.
If you don't want to tell me who you are, stop posting.. and definitely stop trolling this site. Thank you.
As an update to this post:
I banned ANON from the site on 11-13-03 via .htaccess. ANON was accessing this webpage from a Sacramento dialup ISP, so I had to ban ANON's whole subnet. Unfortunate, but it happens. If ANON returns, I will be contacting ANON's ISP and will make sure ANON doesn't ever come back.
