database or schema sql design problem

Database or Schema | Magnus Hagander

This post was a lifesaver, my thanks to Magnus for writing it. It explains the possible use of separate user schemas in designing a shared database. I was looking for this exact technique for an online poker hand history application that I’m working on.

update on my linux server

Apparently there was a faulty stick of RAM lying on my desk, when I put it into the server and turned the machine on there was a loud popping sound, sparks, and a bad smell. So no more linux until I get a new motherboard/cpu/ram combo. le sigh

El Revolver

I was trying to listen to “El Revolver” on IMEEM today for my Spanish lit class and it wouldn’t work… WHYY? It would have been nice to listen to it in audio.

In the end I went to google translate for El Revolver by Emilia Pardo Bazan

It’s pretty fun trying to contribute better translations… But I better get back to trying to write the essay I’m supposed to turn in.

My linux server is finally setup

Got a linux fileserver up and running and totally rearranged my living room… now the giant green couch is next to the sliding door again, and there are two tables in a separate area with computers on them.

WOW it feels great having everything neat and getting a good work area set up. (my bedroom is still a complete mess, but I’m taking things one step at a time)

After installing Ubuntu Server edition on the old parts that were donated/lying around, I had some trouble with samba shares. I could map the share from vista but file transfer speeds were only 40kb/s! I tried several things on both client/server sides but in the end I decided to just use SFTP with OpenSSH. It’s transferring at 3 MB/s, not great but good enough for the amount of data that I currently need cleared off my hard drives.

Feels great finally offloading the files that were cluttering up my main system! I’ll keep them archived for whenever I actually need them.
