The Benefits Of Booze







The Benefits Of Booze

The Benefits Of Booze 11/03/2003 09:29 PM

Poor, Much-Maligned Alcohol Gets A Good Word: It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place/Except you and me,/So set 'em' up Joe, I got a little story/ I think you should know... And the story is something, if you're a drinker, you probably already know. (I was so surprised by this article I wondered if it was sponsored by the booze industry. But then I mixed myself another drink; read the wonderfully-named, probably Guinness - and poteen-fuelled - Dublin Principles and drank its health anyway!)

Reuters - A rush of thirsty Finns making the short trip across to neighboring Estonia to stock up on cheap booze and beer have boosted state coffers in the small Baltic EU newcomer, the Finance Ministry said on Thursday. Revenues from alcohol taxes rose more than 40 percent in June from the same period last year to 162 million kroons ($12.49 million) as Finns booze-cruised to the ex-Soviet state, and early estimates suggest a similar rise for July.

Friends With Benefits


Friends With Benefits 08/12/2004 11:21 AM
In the current issue of Wired magazine, a piece I wrote on social swap nets:
Think of them as eBay crossed with Napster, then injected with Friendster DNA. The newest social networking services merge three powerful Web functions - auctioning, file-sharing, and friend-of-a-friend socializing - to build digital barter economies. Unlike first-gen social networks, these communities are about more than getting laid and getting paid. These "social swap nets" help like-minded members pool digital resources - music, movies, games, even hardcover books.

Mediachest and SongBuddy are two early examples. They're still small (and size matters when it comes to a well-stocked "sharing pool"), but their very existence points to a new era in networked transactions, one in which online exchanges become more useful.

Here's how they work: Members browse one another's collections online using filters such as friend groups, geographic location, or other affinities. This isn't file-swapping in the old outlaw Napster sense. They can access one another's stuff, but the original copy literally traded with others, rather than downloaded and duplicated via P2P. Getting hold of the goods is mostly a low tech affair. Members often mail or hand-deliver items.

The golden benefits of C'ing your PHP


The golden benefits of C'ing your PHP 03/11/2003 01:22 AM
I've seen some posts in response to my experiments C'ing my PHP code. Some of them have questioned the benefits. Well my experiments are that of a beginner (hint: remember the kiddie emoticons), so you have to take what i say with a grain of salt.

My initial conversion was the most commonly called function in the ADOdb api, MoveNext(). This function is just a wrapper to a database call, so there's not much to tune and a small speedup is only to be expected.

Finding things to tune is like looking for gold. We need to understand a bit about the geology of our code before we can hit paydirt. We are looking for functions which are frequently called, contain a substantial amount of PHP code, but not too complicated that it becomes a pain to port to C, preferably involves a lot of looping, and is unlikely to ever change (it's much less fun to maintain this than maintaining a secret love affair).

Well i just hit a rich seam. There is a function called ADORecordset::GetArray(), which creates a 2D array from a recordset. Now it calls the C function adodb_getall(). I did some global optimizations that are impossible to do in a PHP script, and the speed improvement is about 75%. This function is used to emulate record counting, so it's used in every query against oracle, mssql or any other commercial database.

As i learn more, things could get even faster.
