Holidays with MySQL

without comments

Ahh, hol­i­days. The per­fect time to sit down and cut some code. A strange hobby, yes!
This entry is com­ing from a MySQL data­base, but entered in a slightly dif­fer­ent way. I’ve writ­ten a small VB (AppleScript once the AppleScript stu­dio ships) applic­a­tion that per­mits inser­tion of records via SOAP and PHP. After much frus­tra­tion with the MSSOAP toolkit — all nice when doing simple work, but fails when work­ing with structs or arrays — you�ve go to do its hard work! I swapped to pock­et­SOAP and churned out code faster. It also cre­ated a class from my WSDL auto­mat­ic­ally. The SOAP tra­cing and debug tools also help.
The vis­ion is being able to enter blog entries from work (behind a fire­wall) eas­ily. I think I am almost there. Somepeople go trav­el­ling on their hol­i­days — what a waste :-)
