Syntax Highlighter Plugin
Since I started blogging, I've realized just how many people are out there working on code, looking for answers. Working code out in your blog is a great way to build traffic. If you're stuck, you can count on hundreds of other people having the same problem. And there's a good chance they'll check out your blog if you have the right answers.
Right now I'm learning MySQL. My best excuse for not knowing it already: I learned programming back when fewer lines of code was more the goal, less a virtue. When Windows 3.1 wasn't cool. When I could do more with shareware libraries that spoke to my Soundblaster and VGA directly. I admired the crafty demos of groups like Future Crew. And years passed.
One day I got a call to do some Perl. I didn't know Perl yet so I pitched a Java application instead. They wanted interactive pages that you could navigate with on the fly updates. But our sysadmin found a better job, and installing Java on the server was out of the question.
That's when I decided to learn Perl, late in 1999. Annoying language, but I liked it, at the time. I knew how interactive online pages could be, from my BBS days. The major difference? Where my BBS had 300 users, the web had millions. But interactive websites needed a way to save the user's information to disk--hard to do with Java Applets. But I could do it with Perl, without a complex GUI to worry about. And from Perl, the transition to PHP was simple.
But my first impression of MySQL? This is way too much code to simply save some data to the disk. But I'm giving MySQL a second chance. Because it's everywhere. You can't avoid it. And ezSQL looks pretty cool.
To motivate myself, I figured it would be fun to post little code snippets of things I'm working on. Isn't this Syntax Hiliter Plugin cool? I grabbed some code off ONLamp.com to test it out:
// Establish a connection to the MySQL DBMS
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "fred", "shhh");
// Use the winestore database
mysql_select_db("winestore", $connection);
// Run a query through the connection
$result = mysql_query("SELECT cust_id, surname,
firstname FROM customer", $connection);
// Fetch each row of the results into an array $row
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "ID:\t{$row["cust_id"]}\n";
echo "Surname\t{$row["surname"]}\n";
echo "First name:\t{$row["firstname"]}\n\n";
}
?>

I was wondering if it were possilbe to make a code for myspace.com that allows you to have a list of background wallpapers and it would rotate between those in the list on screen.
So when someone goes to the page the backgrounds would change in a set intergal of time.
Possible?
