Went to the PHP Conference today and attended a talk by David Axmark (co-creator of MySql) about Drizzle !
Drizzle is the new database for clouds :
JavaFX 1.0 was released on December 4th 2008 with support for MacOSX 10.4 and higher, Windoz, and a preview of JavaFX for Mobile. GNU/Linux and Solaris support are coming soon as well. The release includes a hosted runtime, audio and video support, a complete set of tools for developers, plugins for PhotoShop and Illustrator, and a mobile emulator.
What is JavaFX ?
JavaFX is an expressive client platform for creating and delivering rich internet experiences across all the screens of your life. And now, Sun introduces JavaFX Mobile, which runs directly on Java ME to take advantage of its ubiquity, security, and highly capable feature set.
Two good reasons are: ubiquitous delivery, and rapid development of graphical applications. JavaFX is built on the Java platform, which is available on everything from cell phones to supercomputers. JavaFX Script is designed so that the developer can express their desired results succinctly and simply. Where most programming languages require the developer to describe what they want imperatively (tell me how to achieve the effect you want), JavaFX Script allows you to instead express many things declaratively (tell me what you want, and I'll figure out how to make it happen). Declarative programming is particularly powerful in expressing the interactive relationships between graphical components, greatly simplifing the code and the development process.

I've just noticed that Argos have some interesting deals on digital cameras:
but how can i decide which one to buy ?
So I thought lets use flickr to help me decide
Only 200 A470 owners uploaded photos YESTERDAY but 3000 D40 owners did !
31/75 flickr members own a A470 ! and its well down the popularity list ! whats wrong with it ?
6000/13000 flickr members own the d40 and its the 4th most popular Nikon ! impressive figures !
Or maybe I should save up for a D60 instead !
Is a website safe ? Well you can check it by going to the McAfee SiteAdvisor and enter the URL of your website and then view the McAfee safety report.
It will also report about sites that that site links to:
Linked to green sites:
When we visited this site, we found that most of its links are to sites which are safe or have only minor safety annoyance issues.
And if you are a webmaster you can suggest your site to be checked and even register so you can add comments about your sites !
PIXELPIPE looks real clever in that it can upload the same photo(s) to dozens of BMN & SMN sites simulatanesly !
You can use it with Nokia Photos on Windoz to upload JPGs (but not PNGs) or a special edition of jUploadr on Apple Mac OS/X.
Nokia Photos is a free desktop photo organizer with integrated uploader (Nokia device not required).
Is there any way I can run jUploadr on Windoz without getting the following errors ?

Web 3.0 Multi-Media implosion and convergence
For starters have a look at:

Wow finally a technology designed to reduce (audio) copyright infringement !
Technology CAN be good !
Just noticed that Firefox 3.0.6 on Ubuntu 8.04 gives me a choice of flash player plugins:
Unfortunately Gnash doesn't seem to work with many sites such as flickr or even flash !
