Sony? Winning a format war? Looks like I picked the wrong one a few months ago. USB Blueray drives are still not cheap...

Got #3 working the was I wanted by un-doing a bunch of Blake's work...sorry about that. I almost have #1 working as I want; the location is in the hyperlink, but it still starts with the server's address (http://192.168.1.7/ z:\movies\animated\Cinderella.avi ) I understand the explanation...

I was going by Handruin's account creation date: 01-12-2002.

What would I do without SF? Know a lot less and work a lot more ;) For years I haven't had any good friends living nearby, you guys have made me not even notice. Thanks.

128GB is over $3k, so I would guess this is around $10k. Just a guess. Also keep in mind this is one of the faster 100mbps devices.

Ideas are always welcome ;) Half of #3 is already done, I just need it to display all records when the page is first accessed as well. Thanks again.

Awesome. Thank you so much. The things left on my wish list are all HTML (I think) so I hope I can figure them out: 1. Hyperlink all the titles to launch the movie 2. Hyperlink all the tags to run a new search on that tag. 3. Display all records when no search or an empty search is run.

Damn. You guys are awesome. It will take me a while to chew through all that and learn what it means. Thanks muchly.

I just checked, and we are a few days short of 6 years since the first accounts were created. I'd like to thank everyone here for making it such a nice and easy place to be. And of course special thanks to Handruin for running the place!

Perfect. If I could search for "The Matrix" by just typing "matrix", that would be ideal. Bringing up some additional results is fine, this will mostly be a way to surf between titles.

Alright, I'm changing the location fields to length 100, that ought to do it. I am running MySQL 5.0.38, so that isn't an issue.

Handruin, What I want in an ideal world...alright, you asked for it ;) A single search box that will return the records of anything similar to the title or similar to any one of the tags in the tag field. Titles may contain spaces, but tags are alphanumeric and separated with spaces. It would...

Thanks again Handruin. The HTML looks much cleaner with that quote removed, the backslashes in the form removed, and changing back to post didn't break anything. Now for what should be a simple question: $query = "SELECT title,tags FROM movies WHERE title LIKE 'Cinderella' OR tags LIKE...

Not yet, but I haven't had to commute in it yet. I've been working from home for the last week. Ask me again this time tomorrow and the answer will likely be different. Is it keeping you up? IIRC, you are PST as well.

I feel bad posting this code, because I know it is complete crap. But if you guys are going to continue spending your time helping me, you should see the whole thing. So here 'goes: <?php //Connects to database mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error())...

I created a unique auto-incrementing index, and my VARCHAR fields are length 50, that should be enough.

Yup, I tried this and it works fine: ...WHERE title='Cinderella'"; And this works fine, too: ...WHERE title LIKE 'Cinderella'";That leads me to believe that it is the syntax of the variable from the form that I got wrong. Awesome. I knew I had to, but I hadn't found out how yet. Thanks...

Great question. I don't know. The HTML forms tutorial I was working from used post, so that is what I used. The pages I was reading didn't say how they were different.

I have Webmin installed, but it doesn't look like it will let me run SQL statements. I'll install phpMyAdmin now and see how it goes.

Wow, thank you so much for the in-depth assistance and tips. I'm off to give them a shot, and I'll report back my progress.

I'm remembering why I hate coding... The syntax on these is wrong, and I don't know how. $query = "SELECT * FROM movies WHERE title=$_POST['titlesearch'] ";$query = "SELECT * FROM movies WHERE MATCH ( tags ) AGAINST ($tagsearch) ";'titlesearch' and 'tagsearch' are brought in from an HTML page...

I rip them using RipIt4Me and compress in AutoGK into a 1.85GB XviD file. That way I can fit them evenly onto thumbdrives for trips. The HD-DVDs I rip using AnyDVD and store whole on the drive (~30GB each).

I have now, and it looks good, thanks. I'll still be fighting my way through my own implementation though, I still want to learn this stuff.

I've pretty much decided that I want to use a tagging method. A really, really simple one. A single table, with 5 fields: Index (do I need one?) Title (varchar) Tags (text) FileLocation1 (varchar) FileLocation2 (varchar) Now all I need to be able to do is fulltextsearch the tags field, insert...

I'm now looking at FreeTag.

So. For this project I was thinking of doing it one of two ways: 1. Defined fields per movie: Title Year Genre1 Genre2 Director1 Director2 Writer1 Writer2 Photography Music Actor1 Actor2 Actor3 Actor4 Actor5 Rating Time But I think I can be better served and with easier coding just using a tag...

Thanks Handruin. That was indeed the problem. I stumbled accross the answer earlier, and I thought I had posted the fix, but it doesn't look like it's here. Now I'm looking for a reference on getting form data into the database.

Wow. Is that sample picture representative? If so, I need to get me one of these in 52mm form for my landscapes/panos. The haze sucks at distances over 2 miles.

Got it. For some reason, the default LAMP installation was just a LAM install. No sign of PHP installed or associated with Apache2 whatsoever.

Is he around Houston? I won't have a car, and will be staying with the GF's relatives.

I did the trip to Disneyland. The next trip will be to Houston, TX in Feb and then Moscow in late May.

Sorry to hear about your horse(!?) and your trip to China. The pollution there was too brutal. Where abouts in China are you going?

My recent plan to get a LAMP server up and running made it impressively (to me) far before failing. Here is what I have so far: Install Ubuntu 7.10 Server in LAMP mode Perform all updates Configure Apache Install Webmin Install basic Gnome GUI (I know, I don't need it, but it's good for local...

There is a new preface where he tries to back out...cute.

Going from my old 3800+ to a 3800+ X2 to a 4200+ X2 to my current 6000+ X2, I only noticed the difference on major computing tasks (video encoding, Photoshop Filters, etc.) It didn't make any "normal" stuff faster in any appreciable way. I'm sure some of the games appreciate it, but new games...

Thunder and Lightning. We normally don't get that around here. Sweet.

That was my first thought, to do a LAMP installation in a VM and do it in there.

Have you tried a reboot? Without some of the other devices disconnected? Did it show up in "Disk Management" under "Computer Management"? Perhaps you need to format it?

I think you (under?)estimate our courts...

Speedfan should do the trick?

At a price that is 2/3rds of the Q6600 that isn't a direct comparison either. It's main competition is really the E6750. That makes it look like a good deal.

For those that don't follow XKCD, I found the 'Choices' series very insightful.

almost $100 more.

We've been building quite a movie collection, and I keep all of them on my server, for easy access from anywhere in the house. Now the biggest problem is deciding what to watch. What I really want is to tag the .avi files with the names of the actors, directors, genres, awards, etc so I can view...

Lunar hinted that he is in a managed environment. I don't think he will have the choice.

You could always do the reg hack mentioned or open and re-save your files before they patch...

Thanks for the info. Are these the ones with the bugs?

I agree. I'm just not sure how to crop most of them. I don't "see" it yet.

I'm loving Google Docs. All my clients are still on MS Office, and I send/receive everything in .doc or .xls to remain compatible. I just wish there were an easy way to send a google doc directly from my GMail account as a .doc or .xls.

The 8800GT is supposed to be one awesome card, the best on the market by far. I don't know why I don't have one yet, even though my games are fine @ 1920x1080. Perhaps the expansion for Supreme Commander will encourage the replacement...
