In my latest project at work I need to import data from an acess database into mySQL to be able to create an online shop from that data. Instead of importing just the database of that particular client, I created a generic PHP class that can import any Access database to MySQL.
Big databases must be imported by chunks.
Since Access databases can get so big, the import class has to do its job by chunks, to avoid memory limits. It also needs to reload itself when it detects it is close to the time limit, all of which it now does without any problems.
We can now import (hopefully) any Access database.
Hey, I’m starting work as a web developer at tecknosfera this monday 13th of july. Pretty quick, as I sent my CV through domestika on the 2nd of july and was interviewed on the 7th. They look like nice folks, and they have done some good stuff in the past, so I think it will be an interesting and challenging job. They are located in the city of Madrid, about 30 minutes from where I live by public transport and 15 minutes walking, which is not too bad…
The post is half time, so I’m still available for freelance web design work.

I am just trynig codeIgniter, and it looks really powerful. After ona afternoon of work, I manage to get a working, albeit extremely basic, blog engine, able to create posts, delete and edit them, display them all together or one by one with clean SEO-friendly urls. No too bad, right? Ah, apart from that, i’ve been hired by tecknosfera
