Today I have worked with linux, windows and mac.

Yesterday afternoon it started snowing and it was so beautiful... In the evening I took a nice and relaxing walk cross the snow covered place where I live (Trissino, BTW)... The picture in the header was taken yesterday in the morning when it was 6 below and everything was white for the ice. See it in full here . AHHHH, life smiles again!

Question: What happens if you have two mysql database with replication, they stop replicating and you do not notice? Answer: you get into trouble.... Here is a small script to help you stay informed... #!/usr/bin/php /* Connessione e selezione del database */ $connessione = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "secretpw") or die("Connessione non riuscita"); print "Connesso con successo\n"; /* Esecuzione di una query SQL */ $query = "SHOW SLAVE STATUS"; $risultato = mysql_query($query) or die("Query fallita"); $slaveok=0; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($risultato, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { print "Slave is running: ".$row["Slave_Running"] .

So last week I managed to migrate the file server cluster and everything worked ok. It was then time for me to take a break and relax... and luckily friday the 7th I was able to take a day off at work. I worked hard all friday as a lumberjack and at the evening I was ready for some fun! Friday night was spent enjoying a warming drink (called jager tee ) in a pub and chatting with a friend of mine. We then planned for Saturday to be more quiet, but could not resist groovy caipiroskas in cozy disco bar until 4am.... So here I am, Monday morning fighting computers as hard as I can! I need some coffeeeeee

Yesterday eve I went out with some friends of mine and as usual we ended up talking about computers and eventually boring to death my poor girlfriend who, in a desperate attempt to save her evening and good mood decided to get drunk (with no success at all I must say). I proposed them to write an open source version of My Life Bits. My good thought for 2005 is to develop (possibily useful ;-) ) open source stuff and give it away. I am currently working on a java implementation of mapserver . Happy new Year Everybody!!
