Very little news here but the picture of him on the above page is great!
RIP if true.

Plethora of PHP stuff
Tony Marston has several PHP articles on his site..
There’s more but I haven’t around to looking through the site yet!
George Bush.. picture paints a thousand words

The Future of Digital – Full Frame of APS-C? – maybe it’s a good thing I use a digicam and not a DSLR, the future’s up for grabs right now!
backup, backup, backup – I’ve said it many a time. This is mainly a review of an external RAID unit, but since my wallet won’t stretch that far, DVDR will do IMO!
Vivid Light #38 is out.

Apple to iPod owners: slaps all around!
On a lighter note, Apple is threatening it’s iPod owning users over a bit of software that lets you download your music off your iPod. They really didn’t have a choice, it was the big bad music corporations guiding their hand! Still, I love the simple work-around 🙂
Holding Your Breath?
Who else stayed up late watching the US election commentary and watched the non news unravel?
As time passes it looks more likely that Bush will win again and that has serious implications for the left, or perhaps for American society as a whole. Who likes Kerry anyway?
At least we can probably look forward to seeing ol’ Bill in the Whitehouse again. Cigar wielding interms beware.
What if Bush Wins?
On another matter, no doubt, the plight of Margaret Hassan has been largely forgotten now as well. I heard her sister speak and plead with her kidnappers, and it’s heart wrenching.
Later Kerry concedes defeat (5 minutes ago!). Well George, you’ve got a tough job ahead of you – a huge defecit, looming recession, and war in Iraq. Good Luck.
Kerry ended his quest, concluding one of the most expensive and bitterly contested races on record, with a call to the president shortly after 11 a.m. EST, according to two officials familiar with the conversation.
New for GIMP 2.2
Carol Spears looks at what’s new in GIMP 2.2! Lots of screenshots and a section dedicated to the GIMP Animation Plugin.
Gimp Script Writing, Script-fu and Python
Although you can write plugins for the GIMP in several languages, the most commonly used one is Scrript-fu. Here’s a tutorial explaining how to write a Script-fu plugin for Gimp 1.1.24, so it may be a little out of date. TBH, Script-fu scares me.. too many lists and lisp orientated! *shudder*
Another more palitable method would be using Gimp-Python to write plugins. I’ve been looking for an excuse to learn Python for ages now so this may be my entry into that world! I could certainly speed up my workflow with some automation!
