Varchar vs. char

This week I’ve been on holidays, and although many people disagree with how I’ve spent this free time, I must admit that I’ve had a quite entertainment week programming again. I’m moving my old movies list entirely to MySQL/PHP, with lots of new stuff to allow me to better describe what I have movie-wise. Although small, this project has made me investigate some of the secrets of MySQL, including the long-time debate of using varchar versus char, or even versus tinytext/text fields. (more…)

Tetris shelves

Well, finally! I’ve done these shelves during this week. I did this design myself on the weekend, spans 4×6 squares and contains the pieces L, J, Z, S and T. The main structure was done on monday, while I finished it on tuesday. Yesterday I finished putting the edges and back panels, and this morning I corrected the position of two screws which were screwing the purpose of the back panels. The structure is supported by those panels, so it can bear with being full of books. The total cost has been 58.47€, and maybe 6-7 hours of work. Not exactly ikea-cheap nor very professional either, but I’m damn proud of the result and wanting to repeat the experience.

I was planning to do something else, but decided on a Tetris theme before and after looking at this page about 30 of the Most Creative Bookshelves Designs. However, it might give you some more ideas.

Since I seem uncapable of creating more written work to post here, I’m showing you some pictures. First of all, behold my new Toshiba Regza XV555DG, a black 37″ television to enjoy my always growing DVD collection. Next, meet Punki, the guest we had past weekend. It’s a mix of persian with gray-tiger european, green-yellow eyes, and extra-long fur with awesomely impressive tail. He’s only six months old and still very playful. Finally, you can see the Cristobal Colon, a huge ship entering the port. Here you have two pics so you can witness its sheer size.

Tonight I had a dream where I had frogs in my wallet. I don’t know what it means, but this weekend I got a new digital camera, a black Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4. For the first time I have a camera which takes pictures exactly as I see things.

Well, finally I’ve fixed all this mess. First, my movie list is again active and repaired, after some problems with OpenOffice export, the name of the database after migration, and a little error while editing my script. Second, the pseudoblog is again working, I’ve found the error and you can see it well again. My plans are now to change the them to vanilla Kubrick, but maintaining it bilingua. And I hope to post something at least once a week!

Bueno, pues he descubierto que Brother (también llamado Broder por los amigos) tiene un blog rockero en Hooligandelrock.Blogspot.com. No es Kafka ni Terenci Moix; pero tampoco es Oscar Cubillo. Críticas y resúmenes de conciertos, festivales y discos, y alguna película por en medio, todo ello aderezado con pasión. Por algo es el único hooligan que me gusta…

I hope you had a nice Groundhog Day. As usual, I watched the movie again, and after all these times, I still find new stuff in it. Did you see your shadow today?
