With the latest additions and a few last-minute checks, I’ve opted to go live with my current code; it’s proven to be stable, and aside from being a bit ‘busy’, certainly shows the difference between the former revision to it’s current incarnation.
Note that I’ve only implemented the calendar, arc...
For the Music DB, I’d essentially lifted the logic, and the MySQL db format from Michael Simmons’ iTunes Watcher.
Since I’m finally getting near a stable release, and most of this data is worthless to myself, I’ve trimmed down the table a bit, the format is:

I really need to do a my_db_num_rows on the archive search to return an appropr...
Well, my url redirector has already become an integral part of my site – I’ve had about 300 hits on it yesterday – even if they were from mostly the same group of IPs. ;)

It’s amazingly trivial, really. No, seriously. I wrote one myself, in about an hour. What took longest was making it work for both MySQL and PostgreSQL. Boredom is fun. :)
Really, all that t...
