Nice, this DIY flash bouncer looks great. Something to try later.
SugarCRM – Bye Bye GoldMine?
Amiga Demos in DHTML
Mad! Love these demos! Pity I only recognise the Boing demo and Juggling Robot demos.
I wonder if it’d be hard to make small versions of my C64 demos, even if it was just lots of screen captures..
WordPress Multi User – Dec 01 Snapshot
This is the “Fiche Naoi” release! Lots of changes this time. Symlinks are not required any more. Derek Ditch did 99% of the work in moving blogs from wp-blogs to wp-content/blogs/ with only a minor cleanup by myself, and there are other bug fixes from the WordPress core too.
Due to the number of changes you should be extra careful with this release. It worked for me on a clean install, but it’ll require an extra step to upgrade – you’ll need to move the wp-inst/wp-blogs directory to wp-inst/wp-content/blogs
I haven’t done an upgrade either so YMMV!
Go take a look at the download page for links and more details.
Later Update the htaccess.dist in the root directory and add the following line at line 15:
RewriteRule ^(.*)/wp-content/sitetemplates/(.*) BASE/wp-inst/wp-content/sitetemplates/$2 [L]
That fixes the images in the theme selector. Thanks Per for finding that!

Garret's got a 20D!
Garret’s busy with his 20D this week. He’s taking portraits, something I’d like to do more off, luckily, here’s some tutorials to get me started.
He linked to this Carier Bresson article too. To read..
Now, how do I justify spending €2000 on a camera and lens kit to myself? No, seriously – how? 😉
PHP Shm Caching
Matt points to a PHP script that uses shm memory to cache data.
I rather use the filesystem to cache data – disk access is an order of magnitude slower than memory accesses but the operating system is generally clever about caching filesystem reads in memory. I would presume that the algorithms used are more complex than can be practically achieved by a PHP script too.
AFAIR, Apache has problems with Shm segments too although that could be something I remember from long ago!

Spider's Web
On a foggy day familiar things looks strange. I love the stark contrast between black and white on days such as these and especially by a body of water the difference is very pronounced!
Massage and Acupuncture – relieve the stress!
I only picked up the last few moments of Paul McKenna’s interview on TodayFM, but right at the end he suggested methods of massage and tapping acupuncture points to relieve stress. I did a quick search and found a few interesting sites. Here’s one picked at random..
I’m well aware that massage relaxes oneself but these are very specific points on the body that can be tapped for different effects!
