Another interesting MySQl UDF - myperl

I am starting to enjoy MySQL more and more. The 'myperl' UDF allows you to execute Perl from inside of MySQL. It can either be stored in a row, or it can be specified in your SQL statement. You also can select other columns which will be passed to Perl.

I can't wait to start play :)

Visit tangent.org for more great UDF and other utilities. Thanks!

Some interesting doscoveries I have made...

There are two interesting discoveries I have made in the last two days.

Greasemonkey

This looks like a very interesting extension for Firefox

I discovered it on GoogleOS.
RFID Starter Kits

I also discovered a company called Trossen Robotics who sell RFID hoby/started kits. I hope I can get my hands on one of their sets to start learning some RFID programming.
