fuzmeister: I'm a Statistics FREAK

---

So I'm playing around with the Vent code - specifically this page. I'm trying to add some relevant statistics to the page... however, I've run into an issue with SQL.

If you clicked that link you will notice the page is SLOW. That's because to find the post with the most comments (for the "most active post" column), I have it going through every post and basically if the amount of comments returned with the corresponding post number is greater than what's currently stored in the variable, I replace the variable. There has got to be a better way.

Is anyone aware of a way using SQL to return the the fields with the most occurrences of a like value? That would mean one query in the comments to get the post number that has the most...

Seeing Foo Fighters tomorrow in Pittsburgh with my ol' buddy Steve Scott. I'm hoping that Dave Grohl's voice has recovered since he blew it out in Seattle. It should be a good, rockin' show and the opener is a band I've never heard, so I'm excited to hopefully get into some new music along with the experience.

fuzmeister: Relapse To Less

---

I guess sometimes we do things for the sheer enjoyment of doing them. I attempt to subscribe to a belief in which their is sound reason besides such for doing everything; I try to live by this philosophy at least. However, we occasionally all seem to require or want the necessary mindless drivel that just makes us go "hurrr, yay!"

I listened to some Darude and Robert Miles this evening after work. It was virtually mindless though I must say I noticed some things in their music I didn't roughly six years ago or so when I was going through that musical phase of my life.

There's quite a stark influence from ambient music which I have grown to love so much... particularly on Miles' Dreamland album.

Never say never I guess and never condemn anything 100%... you may come back to find good in it someday.

Found this article via SlashDot. It's very interesting how well Wright's newest release is doing in that this phase is only really a glorified demo.

Wish I could run the game, but my computer just sucks far too much.
