Well, I’ve just placed my first order of business cards for myself via VistaPrint.

I hope I manage to use them all and the business takes off!

February 16th, 2008Net: Code Snippets for web designers

Phew – so much for this being a snippet on its own!
Techy Snippet: MySQL Database Schema Dump
May 17th, 2007To extract/export just the schema/design/create tables section of a MySQL table via the command line, you need to use a command such as:
mysqldump –no-data [databasename] [optional table name] -u[user name] -p > extract.sql
(enter the [username] mysql user password)
To import it again, use:
mysql -u [username] -p [databasename] < extract.sql

Snippet: Brrr(!)
December 31st, 2003I’ve just found out why I’ve been so cold the last week (mainly staying in bed wrapped up until midday, returning to bed at 6pm and just popping out of bed to change the “tape” of the film(s) I’m watching). Even though I was increasing the central heating temperature to 30degrees (celsius), I was still cold. Why?
The blinking boiler had packed up!
Yep – end of December, middle of Winter and my boiler’s been broken for a week and I just hadn’t noticed? No heating or hot water for a whole week! How come I hadn’t noticed the lack of hot water? Well, I’ve had the washing machine (which has a heater) and the dish washer (which also has a heater) running quite a bit so I just assumed they had taken all the hot water. D’oh!
Luckily, it was just a case of: remove the cover of the boiler, remove the metal safety cover, restart the boiler flick the fan with my finger: as it was the fan/pump that had stopped, let it run and then oil it. Watch for a bit then seal the beast back up. The radiators are beginning to feel warm and I should be able to have a nice HOT relaxing bath before I decide what to do regarding New Years Eve….
