Premiere of Galili dance - Me

This evening my girlfriend and I visited the premiere of Me by Galili Dance. To my own surprise I found out a couple of years ago that I like modern dance. Esp. dances of Emio Greco and PC, Club Guy and Roni and Hans Nijhof ensemble moved me deeply.
Galili however, was somewhat dissapointing. The first 20 minutes where boring. To many dancers on stage, and it wasn’t powerfull. With the start of an impressive solo it was becoming interesting. After the solo a video was played, which deepened the story. It was getting better and better. After the movie, the music was improved and the dance was more…well…much more powerfull. However, before reaching a full climax, the end was there.

Access vs MySQL

Codewalkers.com has a nice article posted in which they compare MS access with MySQL.
At a glance, it seems to be good article with repect to both databases. They also explain how to migrate from Access to mysql using a third party utility.

Power Mac G4 and G5 versus Pentium 4, Dual Xeon, and Dual Athlon

Always nice. Benchmarks which make it quit clear the G5 blows away the intel/amd competetors.

Nice php code

I’m learning the PFY the basics of php coding.
He’s learning to use the for loop, and I’ve asked him to do some simple practices with formelements for entering dates.
One of the things I asked him, was to make a select field with the twelve months, without entering the names themselves.
He failed at first, but when I showed him one of the ways, I came up with the code below.
And…I think it’s a nice piece of code.

[php]
// set referencedate 01-01-76 in seconds
$referencedate = mktime (0,0,0,1,1,76);

// calculate seconds in a month
$referencemonth = 60*60*24*7*4;

// count to 12
for ($i = 1; $i < =12; $i++) {
// add months to referencedate
$month = $referencedate + ($i * $referencemonth);

// translate seconds to month, display month as sep, jun, may, etc
$month = date(’M', $month);

// number of month
echo $i;
//name of month
echo $month;
}

Tiger due in January?

Rumor sites are hinting a january 2005 immediate release of Panther. Entirely based upon the fact that a promotional action has been prolonged to 10th of january, the first day of the San Francisco MacWorld Expo. I have to admit. It would be a nice day for the announcement. But probably the announcement will be made that Tiger will be available someday around may.
