Recently, someone posted a database user question on the Dream In Code forums . The gist of the question was, if you had to maintain a number of users for a web application, and each user needs an ID to log in, what’s the preferred method of doing it?
2 options were given. The first was to create an individual database ID for each user. The second was that all users use the same user ID to log in.
What I had in mind was, the database connection string . If individual database IDs were created, then when each user log in, unique connection strings are used to connect to the database. From what I know, this doesn’t scale very well, since the database throttles at a certain number of connections.
So the individual database ID case was no good. Having all users using the same ID would work. But there’s no personalisation, or you need some work to separate each user. Unless personalisation wasn’t an issue. Then there wouldn’t be any need to log in. I w...

I’ve been using Entrecard for a while now. While it’s true I get lower quality traffic in general (chain droppers), there is one benefit I found. With search engine traffic, I have no idea who’s visiting. With Entrecard, I do.
Usually, I check the drop box (as it’s called) about once every 2 days. I get like 50+ or so drops. I check out the sites (based on those drops), and if it’s interesting, I drop my card too. And if it’s reall...

This is the new look:
Josh Sharp is my theme designer. I got acquainted with him through Entrecard . And the theme looks gorgeous! Wait, let me go look at it again… *wee, clap hands like a little child*
The old theme was adapted from the TicTac theme from the Blogger platform. It was nice with a moderate techy feeling. It was also a bit restrict...
