Tags

Past few days, my energy has been focused on creating a Tag Search, and expanding that to have all the features I can think of in a robust tags suite.

The next update will include browsing tags, and exploring member contributions.

29,000

We've officially past 29,000 characters! 30,000 can't be far off, and what an amazing milestone that will be! Thank you to everyone who has contributed, and a big thank you to anonymous17 who's added the most this summer! EatsSweets, flareburst, oo7565, many thanks as well!!

London Server Down, AGAIN

Ah, VPS.net ... this time last month it was down as well. But now it's been offline for an entire day while they replace their flawed HD infrastructure. Can only hope things will be better. A lot of the random stuff I post, I like to upload there. It being offline, shouldn't affect the site in any meaningful way.

Productivity

What does productivity have to do with the ACDB? Everything. It's the force that decides how much I get done, and when.

I look at productivity as a game. Discussions on the topic with a friend revealed I may have to accept it is perhaps a game that cannot be won. Nonetheless, I feel it is a game worth playing. An experience uniquely human, which all who "do" have unique insight into solving the puzzle of how to achieve maximum productivity.

At this point, I have no answers, merely more questions.

Updates

Made a few tweaks to the top of the site. Adding a complete feel to the theme.

I've expanded my programing skill to include knowledge of variable function references:

#include
#define MSG "Hello world!"

void print(char * s) {
printf("%s\n", s);
}

int main(void) {
void (*funcp)(char *);

(funcp) = &print;
(funcp)(MSG);

printf("%lx\n", (unsigned long)&print);

return 0;
}

And that's certainly NOT a Hello World prog I've ever seen before.

This knowledge is a prerequisite for creating software in C that will support "plugins" - new functions added at run time.

I'm looking forward to coding an empty program that serves as a template for plugins. Once it's running, I can add any function to it using dlfcn.h

From there, it'll be possible to continue my work replacing mysqld with my own database server.
