Other than the ability to use more RAM there isn't really a noticable difference in performance... Don't expect to run the same application on the same hardware and have it seem to run faster, if it does it's just placebo effect. Personally I use 64bit. But I do alot of work in Photoshop, Maya, and AutoCAD.. so it's sorta nessecary that I use 64bit architechure

That is actually a good point ivan...
While this is somewhat just a personal project as a way of learning php, I do plan to market it if it works as intended. So there could be hundreds to thousands of vendors. So I can see your point...
But I am having trouble thinking of a way sending a daily list to the server would resolve the problem without some sort of scheduled script to check the database...

Alright, I was thinking it might be possible to do something like that as well...
My friend mentioned using cron jobs though... but I think setting up a process on my MySQL server directly would be much easier, since all it really needs to do is check the table containing vendor keys for all the users for entries with a timestamp that is say more than 10 minutes old, and set a field for that entry to true.
Although I may want to implement a system of emailing the user when a vendor/server is flagged as offline, so they can know if their systems go offline in world asap. I'll probably have to do it with cron if I want to implement something like that.

I do all the http request handling with PHP, so updating the time stamps is not a problem. The problem is how I can have a routine running on my server that would check my database, and flag the old entries. Again I am not really completely certain whether I am even looking in the right place for a solution... maybe the answer is with something other than CGI o.O Edit: I just got an IM from one of my friends on skype, apparently I can run php stand alone on my server... which I was completely unaware of  .. so I guess I might just be able to use php for this. I'll have to look into it when I get home from work :-p

Hey guys, know I haven't posted in a while. I was pretty busy with school for the last 4 months... I started learning PHP and PostgreSQL as one of my new years resolutions for 2009, and to facilitate in my learning, I decided to develop an actual application, rather than just write random little scripts  Basically the application is a networked sales vendor system, for the metaverse Second Life (which I have been a long time member of), that utilizes a PHP backend to keep track of sales for individual users. Allowing users to view tables of their sales, and sort them based on sale volume, vendors sold from, etc... And then export the data to excel. Anyway, one problem that I am facing at this point is how I am going to remove vendor records from the database, when they are deleted within Second Life. There is no way for me to send requests from the server into Second Life; I can only send http requests from SL to my server. One solution I have devised is to have a timer in my scripts that will have the vendors ping my server, updating a timestamp. I will then have CGI on my server that will run a garbage collection routine that will go through my database and flag entries which have not had the timestamp updated within a certain amount of time, and alerting the user that their vendors/servers are no longer available in world. The problem I'm having is I don't know the first thing about CGI. I'm thinking that Perl would be good for this, but I'm not absolutely sure... Does anyone know some good tutorials for Perl CGI programming that would allow me to have a script like this, which continuously runs in the background on my server? I tried Google but I am having difficulty finding what I'm looking for...

I'm slightly annoyed that my supervisor cracked down on reading at work. Apparently we aren't allowed to read other than when we're on lunch break.

I've heard of some cases where a patient will actually be hostile towards a nurse or such because of religious reasons, and at that point the patient will actually be transfered to a different doctor or nurse.

I just finished reading "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson. It was good, I learned a ton of utterly useless facts that I would otherwise be perfectly fine without. My only complaint about it is that a great deal of the book was spent discussing biology, evolution, taxology, and other strange topics that are not math and physics and are therefore not very appealing to me. Very educational though, and it certainly seemed to cover nearly every topic imaginable.
I decided to read through The Guide again, and dusted off my copy of "The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy" and read that again. I think after this I might read some work by Isaac Asimov, I had read his short story "The Last Question" and it really turned me on to his work.

I'm doing CS/CE because I've always been into nerd stuff and I enjoy it. But I'm fairly sure that if it doesn't work out I'm going to transfer to an art school and pursue a degree in 3D Animation, since that's a big hobby of mine and is one that I really enjoy

Saw this on /. last night, pretty awesome. Although, it was sort of one of those 'Well, we saw that coming.' type of discoveries. At least in my opinion.

We had a tech back when I worked at The Pit that would pop in a Compaq System Restore CD and then just sit there and stare at the damn thing for about an hour and a half waiting for it to finish. Screw actually letting it do its thing while you work on some memory installs or video card upgrades. Being productive is for suckas.
Well knowing how reliable Compaqs are, he was probably making sure nothing went wrong during the system restore.

Never heard of goosh.org before. Interesting concept.
It's cool. More of a novelty toy than anything actually useful. I had read about on slashdot a while ago.
