You’re Only as Good as Your Next One August 19th, 2007

Another little gem I discovered at a flea market while on vacation was “You’re Only as Good as Your Next One: 100 Great Films, 100 Good Films, and 100 for Which I Should Be Shot” by Mike Medavoy.
When I found the book, I was kind of desperate for something to read. I […]

The Anatomy of Motive August 19th, 2007

While at Lake Wappepello this part year on a little mini-vacation, I was suckered into visiting a local flea market. I consider shopping at flea markets just as bad as shopping at the mall, but I was able to find 2 books that end up being great.
The first book was entitled, “The Anatomy of […]

So I Conquered Mount Mitchell, I Guess August 8th, 2007

Me and a buddy headed out to the mountains of North Carolina to get away for a few days. We camped, went Whitewater rafting, and hiked Mount Mitchell. This particular blog focuses on Mount Mitchell.
I write this blog on Wednesday. My entire body is still in shambles. I still can’t tell […]

Earthlink Disables Mod_Rewrite July 30th, 2007

Well, I just wasted a few hours of my life. I’m helping a buddy, Eric Conn, get his Audio Mastering website setup for better onsite search engine optimization. I spent considerable time getting messing with htaccess to setup search engine friendly URLs.
After a while, I gave up. Nothing was […]

Micheal Jordan ended racism as far as I’m concerned.

Php Line breaks using nl2br July 24th, 2007

I’ve ran into a few situations where a user was to fill out a form but their use of “enter” wasn’t being counted. In other words, all paragraphs were crammed together into one.
Using php’s nl2br function automatically inserts “enter” where the user has placed them.

Lunarpages Hosting 2MB Upload Limit June 20th, 2007

I just realized today that I was suffering from the default 2MB PHP upload limit on my home recording site which is hosted at Lunarpages. My recording forum encourages users to upload their mp3 so other users can give their opinion on the quality of the mix. Well, a 2MB mp3 at 128kps […]

Mass Updating A MySQL Database June 7th, 2007

One facet of textlinkcenter.com that I’ve been concerned about is the few sections where, using a cron job, I would have to update every record in a database when a given value. I thought I would have to pull out 2 zillion records, store them an array, and then re-insert them. Well, it […]

240 Hour Challenge June 7th, 2007

My robo massive project continues. While I’m just cracking into the bottom level of being an “intermediate” php / MySQL programmer, I’m trying to Text Link Center the best it can possibly be. This means the whole process is very time consuming. So be it. I’ve just got to fight the […]
