Jeremy Zawodny's blog: The Facts… Sort of.

I guess Jeremy never said it explicitly but I (and probably lots of others) assumed Yahoo Finance used MySQL in the delivery of data, but it’s only used in the back-office which is a lot different!
Where I work, Tradesignals.com, uses MySQL to store our market data and it’s obviously used to deliver data. Then again, the Futures stock market is a lot smaller than the range of data Yahoo offers. While I can’t reveal how much data we go through, American futures trading generate a lot of information!

b2 web-based installer/configurater

I’ve just finished work on a web based installer for b2. It should make it much easier to install b2-smarty.
All you’ll have to do is copy the files from the tarball to where you want b2 to live, and point your browser at install.php there. It’ll present you with a simple form to fill out and then configure the server for you!
After some testing I should have another release out shortly with this and the editor updates mentioned below.
