Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whatever happened to the episode database idea? That was bubbling around in the back of my head as the learn-PHP idea. Not that quiz is worse.

Holy Moly, that's a lot of posts.

And I'm 8th!! No way. Hard to believe.

Kat was #8!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I was lucky #13

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I loved the episode database idea....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Where am I, ita? (I am terrified of the answer, btw)

Whatever happened to the episode database idea?

Everyone loved it. But we got as far as some very complex table-relationship discussions about the best way to do it, and then the discussion fizzled out.

This is a far simpler project in terms of DBs and selects. Table of questions and multiple choice answers, plus a subject-relationship thing so we can have a many-to-many thing going on -- a question about Faith claiming Xander's virginity can be classified under Season number, Faith, Xander, Sex, and possibly "Up With People" references too...

Burrell, you were at 1180 posts (1183 now).

My two cents on the practice project:

  • I'm biased more in favour of the episode guide (and wasn't it unslick of me to bring it up now, like it's either or, and distract from John's idea? Yes, it was, and I apologize) because I want one to use, right now.

  • I thought it fizzled because of timing (no more ideas to detract from the Phoenix!), not because of the complexity -- we had at least two comprehensive table designs completed, and interesting discussion.

  • I've wrapped my head around the architecture of the episode guide, and while I will promise no code, I will be available for/inclined to suggest/argue. Which may detract or recommend or neither.
