duh

Sometimes you think to yourself: duh

Copy a table from 1 database to another was always something I did by exporting the table+data and importing it. Or I used the phpmyadmin tool for it.
Like today, but somehow my eye fell on the SQL syntax phpmyadmin used:

INSERT INTO newdb.newtable
SELECT *
FROM olddb.oldtable;

DUH!

Ofcourse this only works if you have copied the structure of the table already.

Logo repository

Need a hi-res logo for your next project comp? Many, many logos for the world’s most popular brands can be found here. Sure to delight your creative staff, or perhaps cause them to waste all day looking at logos.

I know I have spent several hours on Google image search. The best thing is that all the logos are downloadable as EPS.

I hate, really hate, Microsoft

Just a quick posting.
I use css a lot, not for design, but for my web-applications, esp. the media=”print.

For years I’m frustrated with IE.
Everybody seems to use it for some reason, but anything that works in any browser, doesn’t work in IE. Simply because good programmers/coders don’t work for Microsoft and that company systematically takes the wrong political decisions.

With announcement of IE 7, everybody hoped for a decent CSS support.
But NO!

Sources claiming familiarity with Microsoft’s IE 7.0 plans said the company will add some additional CSS2 support to its new standalone browser.

CSS Support Could Be Internet Explorer’s Weakest Link

Eric Meyer has been added to the apple pro series. An entertaining story about the, at least in my eyes, guru of CSS.

Of course, he’s a dedicated Apple user during the article:

I’m so much more productive on a Mac that it’s almost silly. All of my books were written on Macs, as well as my online HTML tutorials at Case Western Reserve University. I absolutely swear by BBEdit, which is Mac-only.

Creating Websites Using Mac OS X

Maczealots.com has posted a nice article about making (personal) websites with OS X. Nice to see they promote the same tools as I am using (BBedit, CSSedit and Transmit) and promote the same philosophy on webdesign.

Written with humour:

• God made HTML tables for displaying tabular data: NOT to layout your web pages
• God created Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to style your websites and lay it out structurally
• In the beginning, God created the <font> tag, and then he taketh away in place of CSS.
• God did not create the <blink> tag. Netscape did . God cried.
