A buddy of mine is participating in a template contest.

If you would like to help him, please vote his template.

Damn!

Tomorrow I’ll be going to school, and I haven’t even finished 10% of the ecommerce script I’m working at right now.

But hey! Can anybody give me an idea about how should I do to add parameters to a product? Let’s take, for example: type, size, color. How should I make the structure of my database? I was thinking like this:

I have a “products” and a “parameters” table. When I add a parameter in the administration, I execute 2 queries: one alter query to “products”, to add a column with the name of the parameter i want to add and one insert query to “parameters”, to add a row with the name, length, type and so on.

If you have a better idea, please don’t hesitate to share it with me!

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you: Some changes to this blog may be seen in the following weeks.

No! I don’t want Google Chrome! I’m already sick of checking my design in IE6, IE7, FF2 and FF3, I don’t want to check it in Chrome!

Plus, this step is another evil step made by Google in order to maintain monopoly on the internet. By using this browser, the user is encouraged to utilize their services, like Docs, Gmail or Reader.

I’m starting to get sick of Google and their $ 0.01 AdSense clicks (guys, check programs like AdBrite, i’m telling you: they pay a lot better) and I HOPE that Microsoft will eventually purchase Yahoo! so as to give Google a big kick in the ass.

Yesterday I have activated their 24h Mobile Internet service. I received the settings automatically. Until now I haven’t been able to access ANY website, even Vodafone live! with their shitty internet service.

I tried a lot of settings, combinations of IPs and ports and none of them worked. I am 100% sure that Vodafone live! is activated. (Because I can read it on *147# and in MyVodafone)

Now what: I paid Euro 0.70 for 24h internet access, because I was a fool and didn’t bought a Prepaid Orange number, where I could simply pay Euro 3.50 for a full month with unlimited access. (and their service really WORKS!)

I think from now on I’m gonna stick with Orange, they respect their clients, unlike Vodafone RO, whose main purpose is to gain money from offering … nothing.

I see that Wordpress is trying to annoy me with their version releases. I upgraded to the latest version 3 weeks ago and now… again? No way I’m gonna upgrade again.

Instead, I will create a custom blog script and I’ll import all posts from this blog to the other one. But this will take some time, so you shouldn’t expect any changes right away!

Why am I doing this? Because I’m tired of using somebody else’s script, especially when they require to upgrade to the latest version “because my site could get hacked and spammed and other bad bad things might happen”. I prefer to use my own script, to know how to modify it, how to use it and so on. And plus, it’s mine, so it’s the best!!

Some voices would say: “but man, wordpress has a lot of features and designs and plugins!”

True, but you don’t use all the plugins and themes available, right? You use just a few. Well, those “few” can be coded by myself. And so the theme, I prefer to be original. And to be honest, I hate the template which I currently have on this blog.
