Update: This is no more the case.

In the weekend, I gather all my games and started writing down my list of games to sell. I consider the amount that I have to really be to much. Playing games on a SDTV doesn't  provide an interest in gaming, at all...

Just want to share this awesome article about the myths around converting a MySQL database to UTF-8. Also the article has a proper way to convert both the database and the tables inside.

Update: The move has occurred.

I plan on change my domainhost from NameCheap to Gandi. Need to start fresh, and NameCheap is starting to get old and ugly. Hopefully Gandi will change this view :)

Sorry for lacking posts, the interest in writing has been off the past few weeks. Kinda fell in a deep hole when it came to computers.

The last week I have changed my focus from the past to the future. Even not the distance future, but more manageable time periods like a few weeks. I have also started to think more structure regarding my plans and priorities.

Later today I hope to order a plane ticket to USA. Visiting my best friend :D

Few posts back I talked about a project I were working on. Yesterday and today, I have been cleaning it up. Removing some old CSS and removed some formating not needed.

I plan on cleaning the CSS further. Because I have learned so much the past eight months, and today I can see back on the project and know what was done wrong and how to fix it.

Initially I hope to start on a rewrite. But the fact is that they haven't quite started to use it yet. And I really need to work on the service log feature. Only there were a way for me to work from home.

Maybe add the site to some external something...

Completed Halo 3: ODST yesterday. The game were a bit small, and a bad history. I also thought that the game supported four player coop over split screen, but no. I got fooled.

Though I really enjoyed playing it with my friend. Some quality time :)

Right after I started my previous job, I was introduced to GNU/Linux, (though I have tested Ubuntu before, now I got a real experience) more specifically Arch Linux. This is really a good distro. Pacman, which is the package manager for Arch, is just freaking awesome. I urge every person to try out Arch Linux. Even you are experienced or novice.

Read more about Arch Linux at their homepage.

Today and last Tuesday, I have worked on a database application for my old job. In this application, they need to store the students laptop tag with names, etc. What I have worked on now, is the add some sort of service log. To keep track of things done to each laptop.

I have also considering rewriting the whole system with CodeIgniter. After watching the CodeIgniter From Scratch-series from Jeffrey Way. I felt in love with the framework and really wont to implement it into my existing and future work.

Not sure where I might host it, but I would love to share my work. However it is really bad. At least the laptop database application.

I have started watching the awesome TV-show called House M.D.. Starring Hugh Laurie from the famous show The Black Adder.

In this show he plays the role of a awful doctor who is mean. But in the end, he manage to pull off curing his patients.

Strongly recommend this show!

I hope that this will increase visitors from other places. Since I have left behind my domain on several sites.
