Google Analytics has released Annotations!!
February 5th, 2010
I have been using Google Analytics frequently and have become impressed with the level of detail their features offer. The graph is one of my favourite tools, which helps to detect a trend with the data. The advanced segments feature is impressive, allowing you to select up to four segments, such as, new visitors, paid search traffic or non-paid search traffic, which filters through to the graph.
ESS, MySQL, views and temporary tables
December 14th, 2009
I am continuing to work on an ESS integration project and one of the biggest issues is speed when dealing with large record sets from MySQL.

November 2nd, 2009
The first thing you will want to do is download the FPDF class files from http://www.fpdf.org/ – this site is also an excellent resource for the FPDF class, if you get stuck then a look through the manual or frequently asked questions will help out no end.

I had a conference call with a client, one of their biggest customers and the customers’ developers the other day.

When writing a PHP based site – developers often also have to integrate with a database (otherwise the site tends not to be very exciting!) and a popular technology for this is a flavour of SQL. Rather than go through the basics of database queries using SQL (which if enough people ask me for – I certainly will do in the future) I have decided to write specifically about the mechanics of the JOIN command. The SQL Join command allows us to pull and combine data from two or more tables, where the result can be modified by specifying different data relationships between the tables.

April 2nd, 2009
Over the last few weeks I’ve often blogged and twittered about the upcoming launch of the new Linear Blue website. Well, it’s now live. As of Wednesday morning we have our new website. We launched on April the first, not for the comedy value, but as it is the ninth birthday of Linear Blue.
The Web Techy Posts Start Here

Rob Basden Joins Linear Chat
Over the course of time we will all be posting about our particular areas of expertise – with mine being anything that falls under the category of “web technologies” (although there may be a few diversions in there at some points). So keep an eye out for some posts about anything from CSS and HTML through to Adobe Flash and Photoshop (I know, I know its not strictly a “web technology” but its a fantastic piece of software for any web developer to get their head around – even if your focus is primarily on development).
