I woke up feeling relieved. The spine release is something I've been working on for a while and I'm happy with the current state (going for mod_perl instead of CGI) and the development speed (I somehow produced about 10,000 lines of code in less than 3 months; the CGI version had about 4,000 lines in last release, which took a few years to achieve). mod_perl development is très cool in my book.

I bumped onto ScummVM and grabbed my copy of Day of the Tentacle. SWEET Nice voice syncro, normal game-play. Now all I need to do is buy a copy of Full Throttle on ebay.

It's trailer time: Underworld seems nice (Kate Beckinsale in a tight black leather outfit *ROOAAR*), Tomb Raider is on my list (Angeline Jolie in a tight white outfit *ROOAAR*), Charlies Angels: Full Throttle (Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, Drew Barymore in a uhm...). I see a pattern here...

if ($trailer =~ /(tight|outfit)/) { ... }

Loading... please wait.
  • if ($trailer =~ /(tight|outfit)/) { ... }

    Are you an equal opportunities *ROOAAR*er? Your code as is will trigger on male leads in tight outfits. Not that this is wrong, just that it's not consistent with a subtle trend I noticed in your examples. This is what comes from not writing decent regression tests before coding. :-)

    • Well yeah but there is no good match for that :)

      if ($trailer =~ /(babe|tight|outfit)/) { ... }

      will also match movies with babes and guys in that kind of outfits. I don't use RE's when I walk down the street :p
  • The spine site does not at all say what spine actually is!/

    • Good question... This is what you get when you release stuff at 4 AM. *SIGH* I will update the site ASAP.

      For now, a short description. It's a CMS. Oh yes, uhm it's mod_perl based, uses a DB and should become flexible to expand (at some point). You can browse around the admin section and see what it does (for now).
      • Yes, but the DB must conform quite closely to MySQL semantics - AFAICS from the installation page.
        Most of the 'id'-fields are auto_increment, which rules out any RDBMS that does not use that syntax (or which doesn't have auto_increment fields).
        Your default database setup file uses MySQL syntax to create the database (something for which there is no common syntax yet - Ingres (which I know best) does not allow you to create databases from within a session - a session is connected to a database, it is proba
        • The database integration is something I'd really like to get working properly. I tried to separate all the DB stuff in one package so that can be patched easily. I installed pg so I can iron out some compatibility issues. I welcome any suggestions on this problem :)
