James Skemp's StrivingLife

I talked about WinMerge a couple of posts ago (which has been updated, by the way, and which I've used a number of times for work), and now I'm going to talk about the equally free WinDiff.

Basically, you can get the real background information from http://www.ss64.com/nt/windiff.html, as well as two important links:

http://www.grigsoft.com/download-windiff.htm

http://www.codeproject.com/tools/runwindiff.asp

 The GUI (the second link) is highly recommended, as it's a great addition.

 That's it.  I'm alive, but busy doing other things, not specifically related to StrivingLife.net - some technical (Gavin's content), some not (Shadow Hearts: Covenant ;) ).

The last time I posted, I discussed a great article on PHP and MySQL.  This time, over a week later, I'm discussing how I've used this information on the network.<!--more--><!--adsense-->

On November 9, Gavin's <a href="http://framingbusiness.net/">FramingBusiness.net</a> went live with a new feature: functionality to collect, store, and display comments.  Any article posted since June of 2005 will have this functionality, and many old ones, that have been converted over to PHP and the new layout, will also have this functionality.

 My plan is to write an article detailing how this is done, as well as make available for download the files necessary for others to add this functionality to their own site(s).

Next up?  Content Negotiation for clean URIs.

There's a great tutorial over at http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql detailing how to use PHP with MySQL. I worked through this tutorial, along with a couple of others, to setup a pretty simple PHP script. I'll be adding to it for a new gallery (as the old one is too bulky ... ).
