PHP reference

Tonight decided to bite the bullet and ordered the Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL, 2nd Edition from SitePoint. I have enjoyed the style of writing, after reading the (free for download) first 4 chapters. Also, since I have a few PHP+MySQL projects I would like to work on but don’t really have the time to browse all the resources on the internet, this should be a good reference to have. Will post some opinions of this book once I receive it.

Chain reaction

Today, while searching for a patch for :gallery: (photo album software I am using for the travel photos), accidentally came upon I Hope.org.

Overkill?

Since I started the whole blogging business, a few days ago just had a ‘crazy’ idea of keeping track all that is happening at work using some sort of diary/logging system – in short, ideal for another blog! Actually, guess this is probably too much of an overkill, but, hey, this is the best way to learn…

So, the end result is that I have a laptop running Windows 2000 SP3, with MySQL, PHP and Nucleus, which is what I chose for my simple task this time. Hopefully this will also increase my productivity.

Facelift?

Have not been tinkering with the interface too much in recent months. Seems like time to change again. :-)

Next items on my to-do list:

  • Change of colour scheme according to the category: may not be too difficult since this has been discussed on the :mt: list before.

  • Some background pictures?
  • Short video clips of the Tango workshops, demonstrating the different styles.
  • Finally getting around to put the photo albums online? Done!
