mungenetengine

At 8.30am today, mungenetengine had served 10000 unique page views to 1829 unique viewers.

Earlier today I had an idea of a web service that I could implement here. To the right is from this web service on mungenet – the Random Neil Finn Lyric Server. This is implemented as a SOAP service installed on my host, backended by a MySQL database. Including the interface to the database and the SOAP service, it took about 4 hours to complete.

I’ve just tried to load mungenet in Netscape 4.7 and realised its very broken. I’ll have to look into how to fix this on the server side. The good news is that things are still cool with the newly released preview of Netscape 7. It looks like we’re back into web browser version number wars.

note to self: WSDL is easy, as long as you name things intelligently and match the code and parameter’s naming conventions

Holidays with MySQL

Ahh, holidays. The perfect time to sit down and cut some code. A strange hobby, yes!
This entry is coming from a MySQL database, but entered in a slightly different way. I’ve written a small VB (AppleScript once the AppleScript studio ships) application that permits insertion of records via SOAP and PHP. After much frustration with the MSSOAP toolkit – all nice when doing simple work, but fails when working with structs or arrays – you�ve go to do its hard work! I swapped to pocketSOAP and churned out code faster. It also created a class from my WSDL automatically. The SOAP tracing and debug tools also help.
The vision is being able to enter blog entries from work (behind a firewall) easily. I think I am almost there. Somepeople go travelling on their holidays – what a waste 🙂
