Minutiae

Walkjournal^[1]: Todays walk was only 25 minutes because I had some people to ring. But it's okay, because today I really meant it. I got a lot further than I normally would in that time and I was quite worn out at the end of it.

One of the people I had to ring was As If By Magic to ask about the purchase of a large off-white duster coat. It's one I saw at various Omega events. I plan to wear it to delvy's Fading Suns game next year.

Planning to register a domain name, now that the lovely stsquad has given me an account on Bennee.com. Compsoc, you see, do not support virtual domains, and also I can't be bothered asking them about creating a database. Ultimately my gallery will be lovely and magical, fully database driven. You'll be able to browse or retrieve pictures by character or category ("bring me all star wars pictures") and get a count of how many times each character appears (possibly each player also, in the case of Random Encounters). First I have to remember how to access databases in PHP though... and get my password so I can upload the existing site, of course.

PHP database access

[renniek.livejournal.com]

I did some PHP database access code for work. On stsquad's recommendation, I used the PEAR database packages They're stable and easy to use - I can mail you some example code if you want.

That would be cool, thanks.

Of course this is all in the vague hope that I can devote some of my weekend time to coding a database ... or get a laptop of some variety for crunching code in Ilkley.
