Stuart Herbert has posted a new book review of a new offering from Packt Publishing - "Learning PHP Data Objects" (by Dennis Popel).    The folks at Packt Publishing sent me a copy of Dennis Popel's "Learning PHP Data Objects" to review. I'd never heard of Packt before, and was intrigued.   He includes a high-level overview of what the book contains, but notes that he couldn't get a hold of the code examples mentioned in the book (no CD and couldn't find it on their site). Overall, he found it a good book - it's a good primer to PDO in PHP, but you'll need to know SQL beforehand to work with it. He suggests that it's more of a one or two time read, though - not much in the way of a reference to come back to.

36.01 Teraflops. Yeah, that&#39;ll just about do it. What &quot;it&quot; is, I don&#39;t know, but I&#39;m sure the well dressed geeks at IBM are blue with pride after their BlueGene/L computer surpassed the speed of NEC&#39;s Earth Simulator.

An implementation of the famous Snake game written for MS-DOS in Pascal. This is a project from my early days of programming which I wish to update and develop as it's a bit rough around the edges and relies on libraries more than it really should. Othe   Although this program is in version 2, I have had it since long before my SourceForge.net days and have just decided to take another look at it after 6 years on the shelf.

A few years ago, in my early twenties, I was set to graduate from university. At the time, I lived with my parents and had an easy job as the network administrator of a local fishing company. A few months before convocation, my parents divorced, my boss fired me (incidentally, for this article), and I had stopped school because I thought my life of free room and board was over. I spammed my address book crying for work. An acquaintance called me to do some contract work for a startup board game company. What followed was a lesson in something that I would have never learned in university: reality.
