The MySQL-database is up and running again. This means that my Danish history-project “Kongemagtens betydning i vikingetiden“ works again. It depended on the database, where I kept the information about the images. The old database was wiped out when I swiched to the new server — it’s now restored from my local copy.
I’ve now made the source-code of all my pages available. Just click on the link at the bottom of the pages. That will take you to a page where you can see the source — fully color-coded thanks to PHP!
I’ve made the source public, because I feel that the best way to learn something new, like PHP, is to see what others have done. So now you can have a look at how I’ve done things and hopefully learn something. On the other hand, if you happen to be a real PHP-guru, then don’t hesitate to point out where I’ve made mistakes, and how I’ve should have done something. I’m still learning.
We returned very early this morning (at 2:30 AM) from our trip to Bornholm.
We had a wonderful week there. The weather was nice most of the time, so we walked around the rocky terrain quite a bit. It was kind of funny to walk in a forest, and then seeing cliffs sticking out of the earth, when you’re not used to it.
I also read two books while I was there, “Rendezvous with Rama” and “Rama II”. “Rama II” is the sequel to “Rendezvous with Rama”. I read them in just a couple of days — they were that good. Arthur C. Clarke is a fantastic writer, read these books (and also the follow-ups: “The Garden of Rama” and “Rama Revealed”. I haven’t read those yet) and you’ll be amazed yourself.
