<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_d'Arc_(video_game)">Jeanne d&#8217;Arc</a> is a great little <acronym title="Strategy Role-Playing Game">SRPG</acronym> I&#8217;m enjoying right now &#8211; I don&#8217;t even want to start <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_Tactics">Final Fantasy Tactics</a> until after I&#8217;ve completed Jeanne d&#8217;Arc.</p>
<p>I have a Nintendo DS Lite as well and I have to say that I&#8217;m more of a PSP gamer where portable consoles are concerned. There just weren&#8217;t that many involved games in the DS (except Puzzle Quest) and coming from a big fantasy CRPG background kinda made the DS a poor companion on train and bus rides. Being able to play videos on a large screen (relative to the iPod video I carry around all the time) is <em>awesome</em>. It&#8217;s not an iPhone but it&#8217;s good enough for watching videos!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve always thought the <a href="http://rubyonrails.org/down">Rails installation instructions</a> on the official Rails website were pretty straightforward, so I couldn&#8217;t help laughing when I saw this chat transcript a friend copied and pasted for me:</p>
<blockquote><p>[5:23:05 PM] X says: try so many times finally can le<br />
[5:23:23 PM] X says: it is not about the version or wat<br />
[5:23:46 PM] Y says: then what is the error?<br />
[5:24:22 PM] X says: the gem install rails&#8211;include-dependencies<br />
[5:24:37 PM] X says: <strong>between rails and &#8211;include got spacing</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>I know it&#8217;s mean to laugh but I&#8217;m not a carebear! I think it took him a day to install it despite having installed and uninstalled it for 2 whole months (don&#8217;t ask me why, but his environment kept getting borked).</p>

<p>I immediately thought of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Hankey">Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo</a> (of South Park fame).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just noticed an insidious &#8220;bug&#8221; in MySQL when you use &#8220;AND&#8221;s instead of commas to separate the fields you are updating in your SET clause. Being a little rusty in SQL, I entered something like the query below while trying to make a quick fix to some records:</p>
<pre><code>UPDATE characters
SET alignment = 'Neutral Evil'
AND last_name = 'Majere'
WHERE first_name = 'Raistlin'</code></pre>
<p>Much to my consternation, the record appeared to have disappeared when I tried to query for it. After much bewildered cursing, I came across <a href="http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=15928">MySQL bug #15928: update syntax error not detected</a> (<strong>this is not an actual bug though</strong>). As it turns out, MySQL does a logical AND and the result is that the &#8216;alignment&#8217; field is set to &#8217;0&#8242; since <code>'Neutral Evil' AND last_name = 'Majere'</code> results in <code>false</code>. And MySQL casts it to &#8217;0&#8242;. Grrr. Luckily I was able to revert the changes by finding the record again with the new &#8217;0&#8242; alignment value (was using an auto-committing MySQL GUI client, no ROLLBACK available).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t normally post short entries on non-technical topics nor link to LiveJournals (just kidding!), but I&#8217;ll have to make an exception for this one. Check out these <a href="http://orrh.livejournal.com/49050.html">Smooth-E Babyface ads</a>, probably one of the most creative commercials you&#8217;d have seen in awhile.</p>
<p>Oh and while I&#8217;m &#8220;off-topic&#8221;, Bleach fans who want to find out more about the opening song (Rolling Star) in the latest episodes should check out <a href="http://www.jpopmusic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=62556">this thread on YUI</a> (the singer). I&#8217;m now totally hooked on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k43GiUH7qXk">Tomorrow&#8217;s Way</a> (YouTube video) and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKj3YMc07qk">I Remember You</a> (another YouTube video), and of course, the Bleach OP.</p>
