My Movies Catalogue

I was meant to make this blog post last night but I ended up watching Scrubs ins­tead. Then I couldn’t make it this mor­ning because I had an oh-so fun direc­ted rea­ding dis­ser­ta­tion write-up to con­ti­nue with and a pains­ta­kingly mono­to­nous test pro­ce­dure to carry out on some newly made sam­ple blocks for my pro­ject. Yes­ter­day the results made no sense, today the sen­sor broke half­way through. 

Howe­ver, I have writ­ten my 1800 words today and I am ready to take some time off. So, in-between work and more work I squee­zed a little bit of MySQL PHP coding into a new site spe­ci­fi­cally for my movie collec­tions. The site lists my owned movies and my rated movies (grabs my per­so­nal ratings from IMDB — all 400 of them), using the IMDB cata­lo­gue num­ber it fetches data such as title, year, direc­tor, run­time, rating, plot and pos­ter image auto­ma­ti­cally. I guess I am brin­ging the site out of beta by inc­lu­ding the link here, check it out:
