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... ;-)
