Well, it turns out that the “Random” handstands you see on the right were actually not all that random. They weren’t showing any from my roadtrip or beyond which was puzzling. I still don’t know exactly why that code didn’t work, but I have some that does now, which is less efficient (but works)!

For anyone who is a MySQL guru, I wanted to determine the MAX id, and then generate a random id off of that. Then using that id, retrieve the information.

I accomplish it by making 2 calls now:

• Call 1 (Getting a Random id):
  • SELECT FLOOR(MAX(id) * RAND()) FROM `$this->table` LIMIT 1
• Call 2 (Getting the properties out for that id):
  • SELECT `id`, `title`, `description`, `small` FROM `$this->table` WHERE id = $rand_id ORDER BY id LIMIT 1

How do I make a query that works in one shot, but accomplishes the same thing?

CSS Fix

My About page was looking messed up as the footer came up and swallowed the entire page. I ended up fixing that thankfully though too. Yay for fixes!

No problem. I’ve got grounds and filters, and I can make hot water.

Our Yosemite backpacking trip was even more “ghetto-fied” where we used a mosquito head net as a coffee strainer.
