I have made the move, and I am now on the path to a higher level of learning. As it stands, I probably won't be able to update on a daily basis...I just don't have enough attention to divide up between my classes, studying, and hanging out with new friends. Therefore, I'm going to change the posting schedule from just-about-everyday to Tuesdays and Thursdays, and possibly a post on the weekend (but no guarantees on that). EER, as I'm basically talking to you (don't get mad Angry and face [you know who you are, face]), don't fret! I know you rely on me for most of your technology news ;)
Oh, and the tags don't work...for SOME as of yet unknown reason, the TABLE CONTAINING THEM went missing.
*POOF*
Gone.
Do you require proof? Besides the text in the "Tags" sidebar to the left saying
Quote:Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in insert-not-my-directory-here on line line-with-tag-query
there's also this screenshot I took of my CPanel announcing the news:

So yep, I have to figure out what the hell happened there, and then restore the tags database if it can't be recovered...well, at least its not because of something I did!
Oh yeah, and I check out
http://www.anappaday.com/. The creator is creating one C# app a day for 30 days, and he offers all the programs he makes for free on his site. Don't expect complex, COMPLETELY USEFUL programs, but check them out nonetheless; some of them are VERY unique and informative. The Software Jedi (as he's come to be known) chats on his IRC channel whenever he codes, and he's set up a WebEx for people to log into and watch him as he codes. It's a
very neat and unique setup, so go check it out!
Oh! I attended a couple student organization meetings yesterday, one for the BioMedical Engineering Society (BMES) and one for the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM). I've joined up with BMES because of my BioEngineering major, and I hope to make a lot of good connections with other like-minded individuals, and potentially get an internship at a biotech company. ACM interested me because its basically an organization for Computer Science majors. I haven't joined yet because of the $20 membership fee, but I probably will just to hang with some people who are learning the programming aspects of computers. If things work out, then I might be able to pick up some programming without having to sneak into classes and pretending I'm a CS major.
College is expensive, so to make ends meet, I've found work in the nearby cafeteria. On Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, I work, keeping the salad bar clean or handling dishes. Its not the most glamorous work, and I'm sure they're not paying
much more than minimum wage, but its better than sitting on my duff, pretending to get work done, and not getting paid.
That reminds me. If you know anyone who needs a website done, send them my way! I could use the work! And if you have an idea for a simple program I could dub as my new C# project, let me know; I haven't forgotten about my
SUI, but I'd rather start over on something less ambitious before I go back and tackle that. And if I get a decent program idea and get it done, I'll offer it up free for download!
And with that, I'm out. I could keep writing about my adventures over the last two weeks, but then I'd run out of time, the most precious of commodities here at college...right after pizza.

Like I think I have said earlier about the missing table, drop your hoster a line saying that the file containing the table has mysteriously dissapeared, usually hosters make backups at least daily.
I've also thought about how it might have happened and the most likely scenario I think is SQL injection somewhere.
To get rid of the error (which is ugly ofcourse) you can use an @ in front of the function you'd like to use:
$rows = @mysql_num_rows($result);
anyway, hf @ college ;)
