So I was looking for a way to embed stock charts into posts for SMF Forums, probably via bbcode or tags. I checked Google all morning and couldn’t find it though. If it exists, please redirect me because I’m sure it’ll be much better than my makeshift solution.

In the meantime, I modified my forums to use a tag called [schart]. When someone types [schart]SYMBOL[/schart], it shows the stock chart in its place.
The editing isn’t complicated, but you need another site to embed from. Right now, I’m using Wikinvest, but it’s a bit slow and heavy (it’s interactive and flash, fancy stuff). If anyone knows a good, fast-loading static one, it’d be nice to know.

Reality is in the eye of the beholder.

It hurts to walk

Sleeping is like dying only to come back.

The walls have ears. The windows have eyes. The doors have teeth.

To want something but not expect it is not to have it.

When your mind is at peace, your mind isn’t doing anything and you are doing nothing and it is the same thing a mind does when it is dead.
