News: I'm still here! |
 |
 Hello all!
Yes, I'm still alive, and being kept very busy. House isn't being completed as quick as I'd like but that's my fault. Laziness always kicks in when you get to the harder jobs, or you're very easily distracted by other things.
Our work has been almost non-existant for the last 5 weeks and we've tried a few things to try to regenerate business but it seems no-one wants to spend any money!
I have been busy writing code for two of the other websites that I host, our business one at http://4d-cctv.com, and our aikido one, http://mushin-aikido.com. Although there doesn't seem to be much to see from the coding to the general user's eye, I can assure you there's a lot going on in the background! If you are a member of mushin aikido then you will get to see a little bit of it when checking out your user control panel.
However, for the admins there are lots of administrative pages which I have written from the ground up using PHP and MySql. This also applies to our business site where I have been giving us a customer database and the ability to search for customers, get their details, etc. I have just completed a page whereby we can actually create and produce a quote in pdf format. That was fun. My PHP and MySql understanding is certainly taking a turn for the better, I can do so much more now than the old days. :)
I've also taken to repairing the odd PC. To help advertise this I have produced a basic website at http://it.webhop.biz. Take a look at all these sites, I have to shamelessly plug them!
I've been helping my son to start up his website and discovered some nasty little bugs with PHP Nuke software. One of the first that I found was that new users could register themselves, receive their email, but once they followed the link they were sent they were registered but found they couldn't login as their password was found to be invalid. That's not the case! The problem was that the user's details never made it as far as the user table in the database! So they never existed! This is caused by a lack of default values in the initial sql database. Using PHP_MyAdmin I created default values for the two offending fields and hey presto, it now all works! This only occurs with newer versions of MySql, above v5.2, I believe. I know why. :) Anyway, my son's website will be found at http://concretefox.blogsite.org. It's a work in progress, he hasn't set it up yet but early advertising can't be a bad thing! Good luck, Jack.
While at it, I also found out that my site hasn't been accepting new users either! I have absolutely no idea how long this has been the case but I have resolved the issue now so lets see what the future brings.
I will try and post items on a bit more of a regular basis and we'll see where it goes from there.
