    Standing Desk: Week 1

    So it’s been a week. So far so good.

    The floor mat really helps but the only problem I have is my back. I guess I have to build a little bit more muscle in my back to get the proper posture.

    Anyway, my feet don’t hurt anymore and if you move a little bit from time to time or stretch every hour or so it’s really make the day goes faster.

    Standing Desk: Day 2

    My body is really sore today. 
    The boxing class really killed me. I really have to get in shape.

    That’s the end of the first morning with my standing desk. My back hurt a little bit, but mostly my feet.

    I got a floor mattress at lunch and we’ll see if that improves anything it. I was expecting some pain for a few days so I’ll hang in there for now. 

    The good thing about the standing desk is the ability to move around, sit when you want to.

    Let’s see tomorrow how it goes.

    Standing desk: Day 1

    Enough is enough.
    My back has been killing me for quite a while.

    After a lot of research and a lot of thinking I wanted to try the standing desk.
    It’s seems better for your health and I am trying to be healthier. 

    It’s probably not the best idea to start the same day I am suppose to start my boxing class but we will see how it goes tomorrow.

    I have some pictures of my setup which I will upload later.

    Mongodb and Zend Framework

    I have been looking at NoSQL database for a couple of years now. I have tried Tokyo Tyrant/Tokyo Cabinet, CouchDB and now I’m trying MongoDB. So far I am really happy with it. Documents are stored as document like CouchDB but you don t have to learn Erlang and Lua to extend it. MongoDB use Javascript all the way.

    There is also a good set of drivers (PHP, Ruby, Python, C++,…).
    I have been so happy with it that I have created a Zend Framework Cache Backend. You can find it here.

    It support tags, auto-cleaning and so far it seems to work. Right now it requires MongoDB 1.1.1 or above as it requires Map/Reduce for some tags operations.

    I have other ideas to use MongoDB in connection with Zend Framework.

    Korean BBQ

    Not for me I think
    It was good but expensive and now I m sick. But I was sick before so it probably doesn’t count
