Cool web 2.0 video
My playpen and occasional rant
Archive for March 2008
After quite the long slog (over 12 months) and following pesky little things like baby, work and life getting in the way, i’ve finally managed to release a new version of Execute Query – a universal database query (and much more…) tool.
Check out version 3.1.0 here http://executequery.org
Feedback most welcome. Contributions most welcome.
I do plan for future releases to be more incremental and frequent.
Dated, but a great watch…
some interesting material around this featured in Wired magazine a little while ago in Straight Dope on the IPod’s Birth and in a more recent piece How Apple Got Everything Right By Doing Everything Wrong.
I recently came across some rather cool and free css templates from TemplateFusion.
I modified one of them slightly and now use it as the new look for executequery.org.
I just upgraded this wordpress installation from 2.2 to 2.3.3.
From the upgrade link it would fail with no response i could use to debug. Tailing the log file i got this:
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 286360 bytes)
…as well as some sql query dumps just before it.
The solution was to increase the memory limit for the upgrade script itself so i added the following to wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php
ini_set("memory_limit","12M");.
It worked!
