Busy, busy
A few years back, I knocked up a simple database front-end for us to maintain a database of our CDs/Videos/whatever. Apart from a brief tweak to add DVDs to the media list, this has been fossilizing for some time, and kinda needed a replacement, mostly because it relies on the Borland Database Engine - which is a bit of a swine to install and configure on new machines, not least because I can never remember how, or find the CD.
So today, I applied my professional skills, downloaded and installed Tomcat and MySQL, ported all the data over, and hacked together some JSPs and Servlets to interact with it.
It still needs a lot of work, but it's getting there. I can list what's in the database, and edit individual items, so adding new items or searching shouldn't be much of a challenge.
