  • New release of DBD::mysql (v3.0004)

    Patrick released a new version of the perl MySQL connector. This .pm was my introduction to the mysql world, way back in the day. If you can program your way out of a perl brown paper bag and you haven’t used this tool yet, I recommend you write a hello world program to get familiar…

  • GtkGLArea-Sharp update

    Last night, Hannah was visiting a friend and Scarlet went to bed early. I spent a couple of hours bringing my mono development environment back up to a working state and verified that the gtkglarea-sharp still builds with the current mono. All’s good.

  • MySQL Meetup 2006/05/01

    Hannah, Scarlet and I attended the Seattle Meetup, since we heard Arjen was planning on being in town. We went to the normal location, but the owner told me they were closed due to their entire staff being involved in the civil rights march. We arrived to a table full of the regulars. Breadsticks, pizza,…

  • GUI Service Management App in Mono

    On Saturday at LinuxFest NorthWest, I was approached by someone named Paul who was intererested in writing graphical applications to execute common tasks. I asked for an example, and he mentioned service management of for instance, apache and bind. So we wrote a small mono app using Glade as the interface designer. http://colliertech.org/svn/admin/ServiceTool/ Here is…
