There is a new facebook group for Gloucester High School schools, that says: “I survived Gloucester High School without getting knocked up.”

That is both awful and awesome. Kids these days!

Here is what the user’s friends see after they join.

How To Fix MySQL Tables That Have Crashed

Posted at: 11:48 pm by Timothy Haroutunian
Categories: Tech and Web

The other day at work there one of the tables crashed on us in our development site and we were unable to access any of the data. I was going to just replace the data from our live site, but my co-worker Joe suggested that we figure out a solution in case it happens on live.

After looking up the documentation we realized that if you shut down the mysql server and go into the directory that the data is located, you can type in the following command, it will fix the table without touching the data.

“myisamchk -r -q name_of_table.MYI”

Hope this helps.

Lately I have been looking up different shows and movies that I remember watching as I was growing up. TaleSpin. It first aired in 1990 until 1994 and was a “spin” off of “The Jungle Book”. Hope it brings you back! (depending on your age) :) Enjoy!

Celtics Celebrate Championship, Rolling Rally Through Boston

The Celtics celebrate their NBA Championship, just like all the other sports teams do in Boston… in Duck Boats! Yesterday, the Celtics traveled from the TD Banknorth Garden to Copley Square while fans gathered around to watch the Green flaunt their victory. Unfortunately, I had to work and logistically could not take the day off. One of my friends who was on PACE with me, Dan Fornash, went to the rolling rally and allowed me to use these pictures in my blog. Thanks Dan!

firefox_logoExcept for the fact that the Mozilla website was down most of the day, Firefox 3 was released today and it is looking real nice. Most of my extensions were compatible and the rest will be updated hopefully soon.

The Boston Celtics are currently closing in on their 17th championship. I decided to spend the time with my parents and mainly my father instead of going into Boston which is what my original plan was.

* Update: The total for today is just shy of 4 million downloads.
