Change collation of a database

This is mostly a “note to self”. If you receive “The database could not be exclusively locked to perform the operation.” error message, you have to put the DB in the single user mode, then change the collation. Here’s how to do it:

USE MASTER
GO

ALTER DATABASE moovme SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
ALTER DATABASE moovme COLLATE Slovenian_CI_AS
ALTER DATABASE moovme SET MULTI_USER
GO

Hope that helps anyone.

After YSlow, now Page Speed from Google

Page Speed is an YSlow alternative for testing and optimizing websites. I tested it only briefly on Firefox 3.5b4 (officialy, it does not support beta Firefox releases, but you can always unpack the XPI and change the maxversion attribute.

Both YSlow and Page Speed require the excellent Firebug extension, which is an essential tool for web developers. If you don’t know YSlow or Page Speed yet, now is the time to get acquainted.

VistaPrint premium Matt paper business cards

vizitka

I ordered business cards and opted for premium Matt paper. I was expecting some premium paper, but was disappointed when I got them. I guess it’s my own fault, because I did not educate myself what exactly does premium Matt paper mean. The shipping was faster than advertised, which was a nice surprise though.

iMac power consumption

imacI was surprised when I plugged my 20″ iMac into an “energy meter” to see that it only burns less than 70 Watts when in normal operation (screen not dimmed, Airport turned on, browsers VMWare open). I borrowed one today and played around to see how much various devices consume (like my Canon printer in idle mode) and just how energy efficient are “energy efficient light bulbs“.To cut the long story short, energy efficient light bulbs really are energy efficient.

Canon inject printer iP4300 consumes 0 Watt when in idle mode (it probably consumes more, but so small, that the energy meter does not detect it).

An interesting observation about light bulbs though: normal, healthy energy efficient light bulb takes a bit to warm up. During that period, it consumes less energy that it’s supposed to when “warm”. I also have a bit “overused” energy efficient light bulb (was frequently turned on/off for short periods of time) and interestingly enough, it consumes more power when “warming up” (an 11Watt light bulb consumes 15-17 Watts when warming up), but then (after 1 min apx) drops to 10-11 Watts. Thought someone else might find that bit of information useful.

Gmail outages

twitter-gmail-down It is very interesting how usefull the twitter is when a service such as Gmail goes down. You can “monitor” real time updates on Twitter by using a hashtag.

Interestingly enough, Google’s appsstatus shows no problems.

It's late and I have a new theme

Old design

Old design

I guess the old blue theme was looong overdue, so I decided to change it. It took longer than expected, but here we are. I don’t know about “better”, but it is definitely different. And that’s a good thing.

On a related note, I do like the new WordPress 2.7 administration interface.
