S3 Backup →
Decided to make the jump to backing up some of my ‘priceless’ files to a remote service today. I decided to use Amazon’s S3 system because of the added redundancy and really reasonable pricing (the exchange rate helps a lot!)
Managed to get an hour of work in on the site this evening, yayness.

Unfortunately, lots of uni coursework is making progress on the project slow. It would be great to keep at it everyday but its just not possible. Hopefully no one else will build the idea why i am stuck at university every day.

You have to laugh. Even if the government / ISPs could find a way to scan the contents of every file you download (encrypted connections, privacy laws), they would then have to determine with 100% certainty that the file is illegal and you do not have permission to download (improbable, if not impossible..) Even if they could do those two things the ISPs wouldn’t want to enforce it because...

so everything was great - working like a charm, and then i decide that it is probably a neater idea to add three more tables to the database in case the site needs expanding in the future. BAD IDEA.
Added the ability to search within results on the page yesterday, items which dont match the search are quickly hidden without a page reload. The script is a modified version of the one found here: http://www.vonloesch.de/node/23
Minor Update →
Made some minor changes and fixed up text around the site today. Also added the ability to enter rent per month as well as per week, this is then calculated to display as weekly rent so that the site remains consistent.
regex between strings
spent way too long this evening trying to find a regex expression that would return the value between two strings rather than the value including the strings - without resorting to substr() hacks. php: $subject = ‘string1wantthisstring2’; $pattern = ‘/string1(.*)string2/’; preg_match($pattern, $subject, $matches); echo $matches[1];
