PHP Class 'DB Connect' released (Mar 05 2004 23:18 GMT) - This is a simple class that can connect to a MySQL database, execute an SQL query and retrieve the result set rows and the respective metadata. The class get function executes a SQL query and returns status of success of the executed query, the number of rows, the number of columns, the total number or result cells, and the list of names of the result columns as part of the result set array. The metadata result fields are prefixed with & to avoid confusion with the result column names. Depending on the number of rows and columns contained in the result set, it may contain a two dimension array with all the data of the result columns and rows, or just an array with the data of one column or one row, or just one result value. |

Starship Troopers (Mar 05 2004 23:17 GMT) - We're fast approaching the day when we'll have powered exo-skeletons a la Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers. This would be a boon for folks like my dad who is having greater difficulty in walking. He lost most of the muscles in one of his legs during a bout with necrotizing fasciitis (the flesh-eating bacteria), that nearly did him in almost a decade ago. His surgeon didn't think he'd be able to walk again unassisted, but he did. |

Fun with Metadata (Mar 05 2004 23:17 GMT) - D'Arcy Norman's Learning Commons Weblog contains the post Fun with Metadata about iPhoto's metadata.I'm one of those people who firmly believe that metadata is important, but only if it is relatively invisible. It needs to be there, but can't get in the way.....The cool thing about iPhoto is that it works just fine straight out of the box, with nothing added. I don't have to add any more metadata, or spend any time organizing anything, and I'll still find iPhoto useful. |
