Teaching PHP * Database - Making a database connection Bash colornames.org is trying to name all 16.7M colours. They provide the data for download. Can we find out which colour has the most votes? We can string together some of the tools we've learned to use to find the answer.

Tesco Scraper I threw this together one afternoon as I was frustrated that even though Tesco displays the 'price-per-ml' for things like cans and bottles of Coca Cola, it doesn't let you sort by 'price-per-ml'. So I wrote a quick script that will download an entire sub category of products, extract the data from them, then output them all to a CSV that I can filter/sort myself.

Video Games Starting to lose track of what I have (and what platform it's distributed on). This is just a list of games I owned (as opposed to the ones I have access to via Xbox Game Pass or EA Play etc). I've marked games I own more than once in bold (I might be able to play casual multiplayer with them, e.g. Torchlight II).
