Listing Software Progress
The other day I mentioned that I had begun work on some new software to enable me to display more listings in many different ways — by city, price, subdivision, or what have you. When complete, this software will unify and supplant the three or four different scripts and exports I run to provide the Sacramento duplex, new homes, and condo listings on this site, and the Granite Bay subdivision listings on that site.
This project is progressing fairly well, somewhat better than expected in fact, so I should have something to show for it in a week or less. I say it’s going better than expected partly because PHP makes coding to mysql easier than expected. I always knew PHP was a cakewalk, but it’s even more of a joy to work in a full LAMP environment.
It’s also going better than expected because I have a tendency to announce and begin projects that don’t get finished. This one’s looking like it won’t fall into that category.
I guess I’m not the only one whoever did this sort of thing, because there’s a tee shirt for that, too.
I should probably become a ThinkGeek affiliate if I’m going to keep this up. Until I do, I should have this disclosure:
