1. Project: Baby Changing Table Image via Wikipedia My newest project is a baby...


update <table> set <field> = replace(<field>, '’', '\'');
update <table> set <field> = replace(<field>, '…', '&hellip;');
update <table> set <field> = replace(<field>, '–', '-');
update <table> set <field> = replace(<field>, '“', '"');
update <table> set <field> = replace(<field>, '”', '"');
update <table> set <field> = replace(<field>, '‘', '\'');
update <table> set <field> = replace(<field>, '•', '-');
update <table> set <field> = replace(<field>, '‡', 'c');
update <table> set <field> = replace(<field>, 'â„¢', '&trade;');
update <table> set <field> = replace(<field>, '®', '&reg;');

Hopefully this helps someone (probably even me) sometime down the road!

Pet Peeve #1: Always wave “thank you” to drivers who let you over.

No matter if you were a jerk who got over at the very last minute, forced your way over, or just pulled in to the mile long open space, toss your hand up and wave!

My newest project is a baby changing table.  It will be made from mahogany (I think, not 100% sure on that yet), and will fit to the dresser that it was designed for.  This will be a gift to my best friends’ new baby boy when he arrives sometime around February.

I have some base measurements laid out (I should really start carrying a tape measure with me everywhere).  The existing product that I’ll be basing my work from has some images in my projects gallery.  I’ll be taking more pictures of the project as it comes along, and will be keeping track of my expenditures as well.  I’d really like to beat the price that is listed.

1. Baby Changing Table: Update As an update on the , I’ve gotten new side-rails...

Edit: Code posted!

$cl = new SphinxClient ();
$res = $cl->Query ( $q, $index );
foreach ( $res["matches"] as $docinfo ) {
    $excerpt = $cl->BuildExcerpts(array($contents), $index, $q, $options);
}

Now, for those of you that don’t know, Sphinx’s BuildExcerpts function takes an array of textual scalar values, and generates the excerpts from them. If you’ll notice, I’m cutting off BuildExcerpts at the knees.

18 months and a million searches later, and I’m trying to revamp this. It’s not looking much prettier, but it is *much* faster….

Slowly, Marco stood up, and looked around.  Immediately surrounding him, the grass was green, soft, and cool.  Further away, the ground was black, scorched, dead.  His house was gone.  His car, gone.  Everything was gone, as far as he could see.  For a while, he stood there, confused, not knowing what he should do.  Then, he decided he should walk.  He wasn’t sure where, but something in his mind told him that east was the best direction.

When he reached the riverbed hours later, he stopped.  The river was gone, the bedrock was bare.  Not even algae remained.  Marco was confused.  What had happened?  What kind of thing could kill grass and destroy buildings, make millions of gallons of water disappear, but leave him in pristine condition, without injury?

“Maybe, the Rapture”, he thought out loud.  ”But why leave me? I’m a good Christian! I go to church every Sunday, help out with the Youth Program, even sing in the choir! Why am I still here?  I should be sitting with Jesus, in heaven!” he screamed angrily.
