Drupal: HTTP request status fails / Drupal Status Page Reports Errors
February 23rd, 2010
HTTP request status Fails
Your system or network configuration does not allow Drupal to access web pages, resulting in reduced functionality. This could be due to your webserver configuration or PHP settings, and should be resolved in order to download information about available updates, fetch aggregator feeds, sign in via OpenID, or use other network-dependent services.

PHP - Load Plain Text CSV Data Into MySQL / Convert CSV To MySQL
January 26th, 2010
For a while now, possibly like many other developers, I’ve been coding in PHP using CSV related functions such as fgetcsv() and explode(). This usually works out fine until you want to read data from a CSV file and the store the data inside a MySQL database. Using mysql_query inside a loop is not fun for your servers processor!
As usual, the best way to do things when it comes to PHP & MySQL is to wherever possible get MySQL to do most of the work. Here is an example PHP script for effectively converting a CSV format database into a MySQL table. It presumes you already have a working connection and have selected a database.

Malaysian Mantis Photos And Gecko VS Mantis
January 7th, 2010
Some beautiful (and some crappy) photos of a Malaysian Mantis (not sure what species but probably a common one). In the end the Mantis was set free and it went straight for a gravid house Gecko for dinner. The Gecko escaped - no animals were harmed during the taking of the photos but I did get bitten by the Mantis :).

This post is almost a month late! I’ve not been that up to date with news from Google lately but by chance saw an advert on YouTube - who kindly detected I’m using Linux and advised me to download Google Chrome for Linux! What? It’s finally ready? More checks lead me to this page - the Google blog announcement on Chrome for Linux - http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/google-chrome-for-holidays-mac-linux.html
