mysql Table '' is marked as crashed and should be repaired
I had an interesting error message today!
mysql Table ” is marked as crashed and should be repaired
The solution was easy enough. Go to the directory of the database, type:
myisamchk *.MYI -s
This will check all tables. For those that need to be fixed:
myisamchk -r tbl_name

Also this link went into a little more detail on why it happened and what you can do to minimse it happening again:

Is David W Fenton a Troll?
Seth Godin recently had a post on Trolls that struck a chord.
I recently had an annoying experience on Stackoverflow. Specifically, it was in regard to an Access Question.
I won’t bore you with the details. The short version is that a Mr. David W. Fenton has some very strong feelings as to what a Competent Developer should or should not do.
I can respect his passion for his job, but I have little time for someone so one eyed. I’ll save my response for another day. Let’s just say that his definition of “user friendly”, “mission critical”, “application off line” is WAY different to mine.
He down voted my answer, which surprised me to say the least.
So is David W Fenton a troll? Based on Seth’s observations:
1. trolls will always be trolling
At the time of writing, his Stackoverflow profile says that he has down voted a surprising 266 times (with only 203 up votes)
2. critics rarely create
He has asked 0 questions and it seems his greatest claim to fame is several MS Access 2003 “applications” (Access 2003???) If David is creating, I don’t know what it is…
3. they live in a tiny echo chamber, ignored by everyone except the trolled and the other trolls
I couldn’t see a blog on his website or much more information. His twitter stream is just a mindless rant of fart jokes and Irritable Bowel Syndrome comments
4. professionals (that’s you) get paid to ignore them. It’s part of your job.
Well Seth, that is the hardest one!
Rock on!

Hosting your own terrible Windows 7 Party!
OMFG!
I read this on Rick Seagle’s Blog
How weird? This must be Design By Committee.
Apparently, hosting your own Windows 7 Party is normal, but you need to be shown how…

Linq – not in
I’m doing some work with LINQ and outer joins.
I found a few links, but it wasn’t what I was looking for.
I then thought I’d try a different direction and found this!
NorthwindDataContext dc = new NorthwindDataContext();
dc.Log = Console.Out;
var query =
from c in dc.Customers
where !(from o in dc.Orders
select o.CustomerID)
.Contains(c.CustomerID)
select c;
foreach (var c in query) Console.WriteLine( c );
This is exactly what I was after! I thought I’d share the love and post a comment – but what? I have to register to post comments???
I would be a little more understanding if Marco Russo’s site used some generic, open authentication system. But he didn’t.
(If you want to know how easy it is to implement Twitter, Facebook, OpenID or other identification methods, IT Conversations recently did a podcast on how they overcame this problem.)
Rock on!

AURemix
I’m sitting here at the Remix Australian Conference.
It’s your typical talk / presentation / demo. Azure, Windows Mobile, IE 8.
I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am. I find the most interesting thing is the behind the scenes. All demos are on Windows 7, if someone opens a browser, Bing is the home page…
Right now, I’m watching Michael Kordahi demo IE8. He’s not a bad presenter! Casual, fun, he has obviously practiced practiced this demo a few times.
I’m just waiting for him to swear!
Rock on!
