| 01:23.57 | wps | can I do math within an MySQL SUM()? |
| 01:23.58 | wps | like this? |
| 01:24.20 | wps | SELECT SUM(col1 * col2) as total |
| 01:34.46 | mindjuju | wps - AFAIK, it'll add values in 1 column going down (using multiple records) but not adding across columns |
| 01:35.00 | mindjuju | to add field values the way you want, you need somethign like this |
| 01:35.24 | mindjuju | select fld_value1 + fld_value2 AS mathresult |
| 01:35.32 | mindjuju | now, i'm just guessing you want adding cause you had sum |
| 01:35.44 | mindjuju | but the other math operaters are there in case you REALLY meant multiplication |
| 01:36.16 | mindjuju | Like select fld_value1 * fld_value2 AS mathresult |
| 01:36.47 | wps | I need to multiply col1 by col2 and then sum the result of all rows |
| 01:37.45 | wps | so would that be⦠|
| 01:38.08 | wps | SELECT col1 * col2 as mathresult, SUM(mathresult) |
| 01:38.08 | wps | ? |
| 01:39.10 | mindjuju | i don't think it'll let you do that |
| 01:39.17 | mindjuju | since the col doesn't really exist |
| 01:39.23 | mindjuju | there is a way around that |
| 01:39.30 | mindjuju | hang on quick sec |
| 01:43.42 | mindjuju | wps, just to make sure i understand |
| 01:44.19 | mindjuju | you want col1 x col2, and you want the results of that for all the records returned, summed |
| 01:45.56 | mindjuju | if so, you want this |
| 01:46.20 | mindjuju | select sum(fld_col1 * fld_col2) AS mathresult |
| 01:46.48 | mindjuju | i'm pretty sure that's what that is doing, but i'd double check just to be sure |
| 01:51.37 | mindjuju | did that work wps? |
| 02:16.58 | wps | sorry |
| 02:16.58 | wps | dinner |
| 02:16.58 | wps | I'm back |
| 02:17.05 | wps | that's what I had at first |
| 02:17.57 | wps | strangeâ¦Â it appears to be working now |
| 02:18.36 | mindjuju | :) |
| 02:26.16 | mindjuju | wps, how heavy do you feel is too heavy for a page, all the elements file size added up? |
| 02:26.25 | mindjuju | or would you use a background that was 64kb ? |

| 02:27.31 | wps | your first question is hard to answer without specifics |
| 02:27.41 | wps | depends on what the page is doing |
| 02:27.50 | wps | for your secondâ¦Â what are the dimension of the image? |
| 02:27.51 | DexterTheDragon | gmail is 450kb |

| 02:28.23 | mindjuju | well, it's going to be a blog page, and the GD built a page using a a gradient gonig from dark to light (top left to bottom right) |
| 02:28.26 | wps | also, the first page load can be a lot more than the others (as js and css is cached) |
| 02:28.27 | mindjuju | and it has text |
| 02:28.44 | mindjuju | 010010101 type pattern |
| 02:28.47 | mindjuju | and it's titled |
| 02:29.02 | mindjuju | so that kinda kills 5px slice of the picture repeated on the X |
| 02:29.03 | DexterTheDragon | thats when you tell people gradients aren't possible on the internet |
| 02:29.43 | mindjuju | gradients, done the right way work |
| 02:29.59 | wps | 64k is _way_ too heavy |
| 02:30.03 | mindjuju | like if it goes dark to light top to bottom, you can slice that tall and thin and repeat |
| 02:30.22 | mindjuju | yeah, was thinking it prolly was |
| 02:30.24 | wps | and if that is what it is, it should be 10KB |
| 02:47.40 | wps | can you do !in(1,2) ? |
| 02:47.44 | wps | "not in" |
| 02:47.50 | wps | â¦with MySQL |
| 02:50.56 | herlo | wouldn't it just be |
| 02:51.03 | herlo | not in (1,2) ? |
| 02:52.33 | wps | nice |
| 02:52.35 | wps | that did work |
| 02:52.36 | wps | thanks |
| 02:53.03 | herlo | :) it was a guess |

| 16:50.20 | Lone_Wanderer | Once I was the king of Spain |
| 16:54.03 | mindjuju | how was it? |
| 16:55.46 | DexterTheDragon | pretty good until the uprising |
| 16:56.00 | Lone_Wanderer | Now I eat humble pie |
| 16:56.41 | mindjuju | unum, if you thought warrantless wiretaps was bad, here is part 2 --> http://digg.com/d1pD3U |
| 17:01.37 | dataw0lf | mindjuju: that's the same thing as under Bush. Obama's justice department has just upheld their argument, is all. |
| 17:02.05 | Lone_Wanderer | That doesn't really justify it though |
| 17:02.42 | dataw0lf | of course not, it's terrible. But it isn't part 2. |
| 17:05.13 | Lone_Wanderer | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtPkDhM1Brs |
| 17:05.32 | Lone_Wanderer | (It's silent for a few seconds at the start - your speakers are working.) |
| 17:07.39 | mindjuju | dataw0lf, not really picking on obama in this case |
| 17:07.50 | mindjuju | i think you're right, if bush had thought of it, he'd have done the same thing |
| 17:07.57 | dataw0lf | wat? |
| 17:07.58 | mindjuju | or maybe he did and it's just being continued |
| 17:08.04 | dataw0lf | this isn't something Obama is coming up with |
| 17:08.11 | dataw0lf | Bush had been doing that since 06. |
| 17:08.23 | mindjuju | i am NOT PICKING ON OBAMA |
| 17:08.33 | mindjuju | so chill out |
| 17:08.39 | dataw0lf | But you were wrong so I corrected you. |
| 17:09.45 | dataw0lf | missed what point? Obama's justice department has largely backed Bush's incursion into privacy. Whether that's because he's been in office for a short time has yet to be seen, but he didn't instigate ANY of the policies. |
| 17:10.03 | dataw0lf | I certainly think that if Obama continues this it's complete crap |
| 17:10.07 | dataw0lf | Just like it was under Bush |
| 17:10.43 | dataw0lf | but since the Republicans would largely oppose measures against it, he's probably picking and choosing his battles since he has his handsful with Republicans stirring up sentiment that Obama is a fascist. |
| 17:10.50 | mindjuju | yes, that's what i'm arguing, that our privacy is under attack |
| 17:10.55 | mindjuju | i'm not blaming obama |
| 17:10.58 | mindjuju | i didn't mention obama |
| 17:11.01 | mindjuju | you did |
| 17:11.40 | dataw0lf | you presented it like it was new. That's been in courts for years. |
| 17:16.55 | unum | dataw0lf: we were discussing obama's support for certain bush policies we didn't like |
| 17:17.14 | unum | so he was just showing me a second example of really bad bush policy that bush is supporting |
| 17:17.37 | dataw0lf | ah so Obama was mentioned and mindjuju's response was directly associated with Obama? |
| 17:17.40 | dataw0lf | >_< |

| 17:29.31 | mindjuju | the net effect is, i have privacy issues |
| 17:29.41 | mindjuju | i'm very concerned about a private citizen's privacy |
| 17:29.53 | mindjuju | i've had them, i have them now, and I will have them |
| 17:30.00 | mindjuju | unum and I were talking about it yesterday |
| 17:30.07 | mindjuju | and then we realized we were actually agreeing |
| 17:30.17 | mindjuju | i was sending him something on privacy |
| 17:30.21 | mindjuju | not on obama |
| 17:30.26 | mindjuju | privacy |
| 17:30.41 | tierra | heh, that's funny considering that street view is public data, and traffic cameras legally can't be used for anything other than traffic control |
| 17:30.48 | mindjuju | yeah, i know |
| 17:31.02 | mindjuju | i don't mind street view, it's a one time pop |
| 17:31.14 | mindjuju | but being able to pull up cams and track my progress, that's different |
| 17:31.18 | mindjuju | at least in my mind |
| 17:31.37 | mindjuju | but dataw0lf, even as a socially conservative person, that doesn't mean i listen to talk radio |
| 17:31.46 | mindjuju | i listen to techno 99.5% of the time |
| 17:31.52 | mindjuju | the .5% is hard rock |
| 17:32.08 | mindjuju | so i don't go around claling obama a facist |

| 21:21.52 | mindjuju | 100 % no rick roll |
| 21:29.02 | thebigdog | mindjuju, when you say that it actually meand 100% RICK ROLL! |
| 21:29.47 | mindjuju | it does? |
| 21:32.43 | beandog | one sec |
| 21:32.45 | beandog | I'm battling mysql |
| 21:33.14 | Heartsbane | mindjuju: not much |
| 21:39.26 | mindjuju | not |
| 21:39.31 | DexterTheDragon | isn't that the point |
| 21:39.49 | herlo | mindjuju: it'san opinion, and it's not only dumb, it makes you dumb for watching it |
| 21:40.02 | DexterTheDragon | isn't that the point |
| 21:40.04 | DexterTheDragon | :) |
| 21:40.08 | herlo | DexterTheDragon: sure :) |
| 21:40.58 | DexterTheDragon | nothing is as good as magical trevor |
| 21:47.53 | _carmony | We can all him Chester the Squirell |
| 21:49.06 | _carmony | Actually, he'd be a Uniquirell! |
| 21:49.30 | thebigdog | beandog, just make the switch to postgresql and you will be fine |
| 21:50.16 | beandog | oh man |
| 21:50.22 | beandog | postgres can handle what I need to do, too |
| 21:54.18 | beandog | what's that command to analyze a query |
| 21:54.36 | DexterTheDragon | explain |
| 21:54.55 | beandog | bah |
| 21:54.57 | beandog | that's pretty basic. |
| 21:55.22 | DexterTheDragon | EXPLAIN EXTENDED |
| 21:55.23 | beandog | oh well |
| 21:55.32 | beandog | yah doesnt do anything more in this case |
| 21:55.44 | beandog | that's one thing I liked about MSSQL |
| 21:55.47 | beandog | it had a good query analyzer |
| 21:55.52 | unum | I use postgres for something that's pretty intensive and it does well |

| 22:41.05 | Lone_Wanderer | Postgres is better than MySQL by a million billion everythings. |
| 22:41.17 | jsmith-teaching | Lone_Wanderer: Amen! |
| 22:41.58 | eggyknap | What's the MySQL data type for "million billion everythings"? |
| 22:42.05 | Lone_Wanderer | I just had a conversation with a guy who thinks that MySQL is just as good as Oracle for any use. |
| 22:42.19 | Lone_Wanderer | And that they directly compete with each other for market share. |
| 22:42.30 | eggyknap | Wow... |
| 22:42.33 | Lone_Wanderer | eggyknap: the largest blob they have. |
| 22:42.40 | Lone_Wanderer | But I was going to say it's better by miles |
| 22:42.46 | Lone_Wanderer | and then thought I should put a number in front |
| 22:43.02 | Lone_Wanderer | and then thought, heck with miles, it's also better by pounds and fluid ounces and other things, as well |
| 22:43.31 | DexterTheDragon | mindjuju: Oakenfold on ravetrax |
| 22:43.51 | Lone_Wanderer | ravetrax? |
| 22:44.13 | mindjuju | lone_wanderer, ravetrax.com |
| 22:44.38 | Lone_Wanderer | woo! |
| 22:50.37 | mindjuju | man, i guess i haven't really used linux, cause i've never " decompile codes and upload data" --> Linux on netbooks is doomed --> http://tech.blorge.com/Structure:%20/2009/04/21/lenovo-analyst-linux-on-netbooks-is-doomed/ |
| 22:51.58 | mindjuju | i love this quote: |
| 22:51.59 | mindjuju | From a vendor perspective, Linux is very hard to support because there are so many different versions out there: do we have Eudora, do we have SUSE, do we have Turbo Max? |
| 22:52.07 | mindjuju | i thought eudora was a mail client |
| 22:52.51 | unum | that guys an idiot |
| 22:53.04 | unum | the problem is people want to install all the software they are used to on it. |
| 22:53.09 | unum | and it doesn't work |
| 22:54.17 | Lone_Wanderer | rofl, he actually said that |
| 22:54.24 | mindjuju | it gets better |
| 22:54.26 | unum | my friend who also has a linux netbook can't use it much because of the authentication protocol slcc uses |
| 22:54.34 | unum | jerks |
| 22:54.36 | mindjuju | This story was written from that transcript. As a courtesy, the link to the story was also emailed to the PR agency that set up the interview, Text 100, and aside from a typo, the feedback was âit looks greatâ. |
| 22:54.48 | orsonj | "Linus needs to get to the point where if you want to plug something in, Linux loads the driver and it just works." |
| 22:54.56 | orsonj | hahaha |
| 22:55.01 | unum | it does that for me.... |
| 22:55.02 | mindjuju | that doesn't happen for me in winders |
| 22:55.14 | Lone_Wanderer | The guy is a complete retard |
| 22:55.17 | Lone_Wanderer | but he's also right |
| 22:55.18 | mindjuju | it's funny though that Linux today called to confirm accuracy |
| 22:55.21 | unum | well I guess it does depend on the hardware. I tend to buy the right hardware |
| 22:55.57 | Lone_Wanderer | Most computer users, like the guy who wrote the article, are afraid of technology and choose not to learn about it |
| 22:56.55 | Lone_Wanderer | When I worked in tech support, every time I heard someone say "Oh, I'm just no good at computers" I wanted to stab them with a... something that destroys self-limiting mental blocks. |
| 22:56.57 | orsonj | I guess the $8 webcam I found in the clearance section at staples didn't work, but outside of that |
| 22:57.25 | Lone_Wanderer | And that also hurts. (The stabbing implement.) |
| 22:58.45 | unum | oh great now you ruined it for me |
| 22:58.52 | unum | I was going to go home and watch it tonight |
| 22:59.21 | orsonj | watch it anyway, was a decent episode |
| 22:59.36 | unum | actually I've never really watched it |
| 22:59.51 | unum | a friend of mine rented the first season and I watched most of it with her |
| 22:59.53 | SunSparc | Night all. |
| 22:59.56 | unum | but never realy got into it |
| 22:59.57 | mindjuju | cya |
