Random talk in a sleep
After week of being sick, I am now suffering from low spirit. May be I should have taken a break, from work, from blogging, from programming.…away from computer, away from TV…
Oops, but I have just joined the PPS 1.5 Beta project. I am a late-comer to the core team, so it’s good to start with the beta test. Watch out for it, the project has attracted many smart people, and sure it’s enjoyable to read them.
The new syndication format design exercise is well worth monitoring. I have no any big projects on hand ever since my department having a re-org few months ago. But soon I might take up a new challange on some new development, and work with new group of people. The ongoing discussion gave me lots of inspiration.
MySQL Fulltext Searching
MySQL Fulltext Searching explained how to add the fulltext index and enable fulltext searching in your MySQL tables. The author, Joe Stump, use blog-related tables as his example of implementing fulltext searching, interesting. With adding fulltext index to your MT tables, plus some php code, or just MT-SQL, you could have an advanced searching engine to replace the original MT search engine. Sound good. Would try it later.
