Winter is coming closer

Not sure at all that I like that but it will still arrive. Temperature is starting to drop down below freezing point, I’ve at a few occasions needed to remove ice from the windscreen of my car already. And there’s reports about snow coming in through the country, they even say we should expect some during the week 🙁

Suppose it is about time to put the winter tyres on the car now.

Luckily I have got me a better car this year then I did last year 🙂 Though heating was better in the old one I think… At least it was faster to get the car warm  inside, this newer one has climate control, so I can’t put the fan on full speed with “really hot” for a short time, it’ll take the time it want to adjust the temperature inside to match my setting.

Got a couple days off from work now, next planned shift is Sunday afternoon 🙂

That hopefully does mean that I will get my friends site ready for launch by the end of the week. As well as get a few other things done, that really should have been done already 😀 I really need to stop saying “I’ll do it tomorrow” to myself and just do them instead of something that, at the time, seem more fun. Well I don’t do that with everything, things I’ve promised someone to do for a certain day, usually gets done in time, if workschedule isn’t changed unexpectedly.

Coding

Learning PHP

I started messing a bit more with php, managed to complete a script 🙂

I have looked at php briefly before, mainly by making/changing small code snippets into a module for the forum soft that I use. This is actually the first script I made that is a standalone one, and it works as intended, though I might add more functionality to it eventually, like user being able to chose sorting order.

I guess you wonder what I cooked up 🙂 It’s a small script to handle a links page, for a friend of mine, easy adding and deleting as well as sorting of the links, currently only alphabetical by it’s name, as well as into different categories.

Right now it is only made in Swedish, but I might change all strings to English and release it, once I feel it is ready for that. However if you should need a small, simple script to manage your links you could always send me a note 🙂 The script, in action for end user, can be seen here: http://www.ranchensjamesdean.com/links/

The site is not completed yet, a few pages are missing still. The site is all about their rottweilers, they are taking one of them, James Dean, to dog shows, he has a genealogical table. The female, Tanja, is “just” their pet dog 🙂

Might be doing other scripts as well, might even share them with you all 🙂
