How blogging has helped me this morning My early-morning blog reading comes through once again. First off, Charles explains how I should implement Remember Me. If understand him correctly, I basically need to create a new table (i.e. user_cookie) that has two columns: username and cookie_id - where cookie_id is a random 128 bit number. The key to his strategy is replacing the number with a new one everytime the user logs in. Why didn't I think of that? Thanks Charles!

Secondly, this Tweaking MySQL Primer (via Erik) has some good tips on MySQL. I'd prefer a more generic "tweak your database" howto that covered many databases, but this will have to do for now. I'm going to try a little OPTIMIZE tablename on this site in a few - it's it's down all morning, now you know why...

Lastly, what the hell are Erik and Rick Ross cooking up?

I spent five hours on the phone with Rick Ross (of Javalobby) on Saturday afternoon. I think we effectively fixed everything that is wrong in the world. Stay tunned. ;-)

WTF? 5 hours on the phone? I don't think I've spent 5 hours on the phone with anyone in my entire life. It must be good - or they're not very good communicators... ;-) Posted in Java at Jan 19 2004, 07:55:51 AM MST 2 Comments

Are you using a RSS aggregator or do you just read blogs through your browser? When I first started reading blogs my browser was fine, but now I try to skim through about 25 ~ 30 and check out Erik Thauvin's blog. Without a reader my method is to open my bookmark file in my browser and then just go down the list of blogs right-clicking on them and opening them in new tabs. I get about five open, read them, close them, and then go back to the bookmark page and do it again. Ugly, but it's quick. Thanks... Erik

Erik - I use NetNewsWire on the Mac, and a set of bookmarked tabs on Windows. So I do both depending in which machine I'm on. Since I work from home twice a week, those are the days I use Windows XP and Firebird's bookmarks. When I'm at the client, I don't read blogs. ;-)
