Best Buy website reports incorrect stock levels
I wanted to buy a netbook tonight. I failed. The website claimed the item was in stock. Off I went. “Sorry, we don’t carry that item at this store.” I’m sorry Best Buy, but I’m not driving to another store until you give me accurate information.

Incorrect bind column causes HY093
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been learning more about XSL, Javascript, and CSS. Along the way, I’ve been doing much more work with PDO.

The SQL was something like this: INSERT INTO mybconfig.keys (key_name, key_type_id) VALUES ( :key_name, :key_id_type )’ Upon calling execute(), the exception thrown was similar to this: 501: Internal Server Error Description: The server

Snow. Mold. Work.
It is snowing in much of the north east of USA today. A few flakes were coming down by the time I arrived home at about 9PM on Sunday night, but there was no accumulation. By the time I went to bed at about midnight, the cars next to mine were covered but the Subaru had barely anything on it. My parking spot is more exposed to the wind, so less snow settled
