Found a great article at DevShed on “Date Arithmetic With MySQL“. The last few days we’ve been kind of puzzled about how to store and actually utilize dates, throwing them back and forth from PHP to MySQL. There seems to be a lack of documentation about MySQL date functions, I bet alot of people are […]

dobe® Lightroom™ Beta is the efficient new way for professional photographers to import, select, develop, and showcase large volumes of digital images. So you can spend less time sorting and refining photographs, and more time actually shooting them. Its clean, elegant interface literally steps out of the way and lets you quickly view and work with the images you shot today, as well as the thousands of images that you will shoot over the course of your career. Because no two photographers work alike, Adobe Lightroom adapts to your workflow, not the other way around.

(Until I make some time figuring out what da hell is iptables) Anyways. It stopped running […]

IE6/Win has a specific problem with “image flickering”, observe please:
In Internet Explorer, click on “Tools”, then “Internet Options”.
In the new dialog, click on “Settings” under the “Temporary Internet files” tab.
In the next new dialog, if “Automatically” is set, which I believe IS the default, then IE will try to be smart, and handle its caching. […]
