This means I can focus on learning more about django, and also implement all the CSS-goodness I have been learning rather than relying on Wordpress and it’s abundance of tools to do it for me.

If you subscribe to a planet where you get this post – I’m trying to contact the planet admins to switch my feed over, but not having much luck at the moment – I will continue to persevere!

I have a table with the following columns: ID | User | ...few more in here... | Timestamp

I need a query that returns data in the following way


User | Date1 | Date2 | Date3 | ... | Total
User1| 4 | 5 | 4 | ... | 13

i.e. There needs to be a total for each Date, with that date as the column header.

In case it helps make it any clearer, I have a similar query that takes entries from the last week and groups them by weekday:

select
       User as name,
       sum(if(dayofweek(Timestamp) = 1, 1, 0)) as sun,
       sum(if(dayofweek(Timestamp) = 2, 1, 0)) as mon,
       sum(if(dayofweek(Timestamp) = 3, 1, 0)) as tue,
       sum(if(dayofweek(Timestamp) = 4, 1, 0)) as wed,
       sum(if(dayofweek(Timestamp) = 5, 1, 0)) as thr,
       sum(if(dayofweek(Timestamp) = 6, 1, 0)) as fri,
       sum(if(dayofweek(Timestamp) = 7, 1, 0)) as sat,
       count(ID) as total
     from
       Table
     where
       date(Timestamp) >= date_sub(now(), INTERVAL 8 DAY) and
       Timestamp < date_format(now(), '%Y-%m-%d')
     group by
       User
     order by
       User

Now, this method is fine when you have a finite number of columns (days of the week), but I need it to be dynamic and take a couple of parameter (it's used in a php script) as the date range.

It’s sort of an appetizer of a holiday before we go to Florida for a fortnight to see Lisa’s brother. There’s a couple of reasons for this holiday, one is to see how Hannah behaves staying away from home (early results are very promising – she doesn’t appear where she goes to sleep, as long as she gets fed!) The seond reason is that we really, really needed a break! We normally go to Spain, or the balearics, or somewhere equally sunny for a week at the beginning of September but this year we (specifically me) didn’t fancy flying with Hannah being only 3 months at the time.

So, initial impressions of the caravan are that it is nice. We’ve got a Gold level caravan, which is the highest this park offers (others in the chain off platinum) . To be honest, it’s just the right size. It’s like staying in a detached self catering apartment, which is brilliant when you have a nearly 5 month old how may cry at any point!

We had a nice day out in skegness yesterday, despite me having to run about 8 miles to put some more money in the car park, and then forgetting to take the car keys with me! Today we are going out for breakfast, then a walk to the bombing range/beach before making use of the free swimming pool before meeting my mum and dad in cleethorpes, Nd maybe all going out for tea. We have to check out by 10 in the morning, so not sure what we’ll do for the rest of the day.

I also need to take more photos, we haven’t really taken many of Hannah recently, and we forget how quickly she’s changing.

So, here’s a new leaf, as I can see lots of things in the not to distant future that I will want to write about

I haven’t bloggied (apart from this, of course) in months. I use twitter instead, as most of what I want to say can be summarised in 140 Chars.

I don’t use any of the photo galleries I set up as Facebook/Flickr/Picasa all work so much better

Lugradio shut down a year ago (although I still get a lot of traffic on this)

I did run a site for my Mother-in-Law’s dance school, and I have just found out that it doesn’t even work anymore!

I need to either resolve to do more on the site or get shut. My problem is my attention span. For example, I have decided to re-do the dance school site. I have also decided to do it in django. I strongly suspect that this will go out of the window, as I’m looking after Hannah on my own for the first time in the afternoon/evening and I reckon this will re-shape my priorites. Again.
