OPTGROUP tag

Wow, after about 5 years programming I never stumbled upon this tag for normal “SELECT”-boxes.

Defines an option group. This element allows you to group choices. When you have a long list of options, groups of related choices are easier to handle

where did I miss this one ….?

Customizing the Template

I am looking in customizing the template of this blog to something unique and personal.

I thing the first thing would be to get another image for the top, something like a open white beach or maybe more of a computer-related theme, although the current desert theme doesn’t look to shabby.

Theme problems

You guys will see that I’m still using the default WordPress theme.

The reason is that when using the theme I found, the images go past the border lines and then everything goes haywire, so now I have a choice, fix and customize the current theme, or search for a new theme.

I think I’ll go with the “Search for a new theme” as I have too much other stuff also to attend to, so we’ll just have to wait… and see

dbHistoric

Hi guys

A while back I created an Open Source project called dbHistoric which intends to be a monitoring and statistics tool for database.

I will capture the status of database systems at certain times of the days(given intervals) and then one can draw reports on them.

Currently I’m looking for guys that can help me with the design and implementation of some documentation and requirements.

I am also very busy lately so all hands are welcome.

The technologies that I’ve decided on are Java(for backend engine) and PHP/gdLibrary for reporting, but I”m open to suggestions.

Please have a look at my project on SourceForge.net .
