Seth's Blog: Music lessons
Things you can learn from the music business (as it falls apart) The first rule is so important, it’s rule 0: 0. 1. The music business had a spectacular run alongside the baby boomers. As a result, the music business built huge systems. It didn’t. 2. There’s a paradox in the music business that is mirrored in many industries: you want ubiquity, not obscurity, yet digital distribution devalues your core product. Remember, the music business is the one that got in trouble for bribing disk jockeys to play their music on the radio. Most items of value derive that value from scarcity. The solution isn’t to somehow try to become obscure, to get your song off the (digital) radio. You used to sell plastic and vinyl. 3. Music is social. 4. Today, of course, permission is an asset to be earned. It’s interesting though, because many musicians have NOT been avoiding it. The opportunity of digital distribution is this: 5. 6. The sooner you do it, the more assets and momentum you have to put to work. 7.
Javascript form validation - doing it right
Web Matters When using Javascript for form validation, there is a right way, a wrong way, a very wrong way, and a suicidally wrong way! Unfortunately many sites use one of the wrong ways, including even some which claim to be form-validation tutorials. This page tries to help people in the right direction. The suicidally wrong way is to have the validation in Javascript only, and not on the server. A malicious user can easily bypass it and – depending on what you are doing – may wreak havoc with your database. The essence is thus that Javascript validation is always optional. Having said that, there are actually two right ways, of which the better one is hardly ever used! Acceptable: validate the entered data when the submit button is pressed. Example Here is an example of how Javascript validation should work. It doesn't actually have any server script, so anything you type will be discarded on submission. <P> Javascript is not currently enabled on your browser. How it works Conclusion

Advanced email in PHP [PHP & MySQL Tutorials]
This article was written in 2002 and remains one of our most popular posts. If you’re keen to learn more about email and webmail, you may find this recent article on Email as a Service of great interest. I wish I could remember the very first email message I ever sent. Unfortunately, the truth is that I’ve come to take email for granted; for instance, I easily send more email messages than I make phone calls. Because the novelty has long since worn off, the memory of that first email is as lost to me as my first phone call; but I doubt my sense of wonder was any less complete at the time. To someone who has never seen email in action before, that first message can be magical. In this article, I’ll try to recapture some of that magic for those of you who have never created a Web site that sends email messages. Note: This article was written back when things like HTML email and file attachments were a lot more difficult to do in PHP than they are today. PHP Email Setup Sending Plain Email <?

Chronic renal failure (CKD) and its progression
Renal failure means that the kidneys aren't working properly. If the renal failure is chronic, it is lasting and kidney function is unlikely to improve. However you can remain quite well until late on in chronic renal failure. How do you know about chronic renal failure (CKD)? As many people with chronic renal failure have no symptoms, it is often only diagnosed after blood tests. What about progression? For some reason, once kidneys have been damaged, they may continue to get worse over months and years, even long after the disease that caused the damage has gone. Can end-stage renal failure be prevented? Sometimes it can - and even if it cannot be prevented, it can often be delayed by many years. Stages of kidney disease In the last few years a useful classification of renal failure has been developed. The KDOQI stages of kidney disease are: Stage 2 kidney disease is a tricky area, because normal GFR falls with age, and therefore many normal older people may fall into this category. Bones
