Just like riding a bike
So I’ve spent the last few days doing research on new tools I haven’t used before (PDO, sqlite, etc.) and it’s gotten me excited all over again. I mean, I haven’t stopped slapping code together, but I definitely had slowed down.
So after some sagely advice from the Kinder in my last blog entry I decided to stop dicking around with half-finished projects and little code snippets and actually do something to get my name out there again. I’d long played with the idea but never finished it – making imageboard software. There is a lack of a good easy-to-install-and-use software available (Anyone who says Kusaba or a derivative will be punched in the nose) at the moment, and they are fairly popular to use… It makes sense.
Got a few interesting new ideas for the imageboard scene, but I won’t really go into detail on that here. But one thing I will say is that at first I was a little reluctant to admit it but I do like PDO. I may not use all of the features in my software but there are definitely some advantages of using it (if you want to know WHAT advantages, use google – there are hundreds of fantastic articles on the subject). The neatest thing, in my opinion, is that I’ll be able to make the software easily switch between MySQL (for which PDO support is not enabled by default) and SQLite (which is, and is quite awesome to boot).
I’ll probably turn to Keith for help with the design, as he’s always been fantastic, but I’ll use the actual functionality to showcase a little of what I can do. Plus this is a great way to spend my copious amounts of free time, much better than gaming.
Eh, just a small hiccup of words to get across what I’m doing. I haven’t forgotten mah blog, far from it: I’ll be updating it again in a couple of days with my college decisions.
