Hump-day update |
January 6, 2005
I'm loving my new job so far. My first project was a simple exhibitor and delegate signup system for the TN State Safety Congress. I finished it pretty quick and am now waiting for testing to be completed. They say I will need to incorporate some basic icons and graphics to 'pretty it up' and stuff. Fun. :)
I released all my PHP scripts on Freshmeat today. Weird, they didn't know what a 'topsite' was. Usually when I don't know what something is, I go look it up on Google. I figured by now everyone used Google, but I guess not everyone. Google sure knew what a topsite is: 1,420,000 results.
Mr. Hardison, from my last job, told me they had a bunch of layoffs today. My contract was cut short and they told me they were having trouble with the budget. Then I heard the layoff news today so I guess they weren't kidding. Layoffs are a bummer.
I sent Juzzy my Image Rating install_0.4.0.sql to test on MySQL 3.x since he still had an old install running. It works on MySQL 4.x, but I want to get the table structures to work with 3.x as well. There is an issue with my not null and default '' clauses.

Practical Common Lisp is a modern Lisp book written with practical application development in mind. It shows many useful examples of real-world applications. Following along in the book, building the applications, teaches you Lisp. This is not a specifications manual. You will still need to reference online Lisp documentation for some things. This book teaches you more about the why? and what for? of Lisp than anything else I've found.
