Who do you think this favors?

I’d say that this favors [[Tiger]]. But there are others that should get serious consideration that ordinarily wouldn’t be considered because of their (lack of) length. Of course, players like Mickelson have a chance, but don’t count out Olazabel either.

It’s time for a little review of some of the history of the British Open as Tiger prepares to try for the third leg of the Grand Slam.

Then there are the roars that surely one still can hear drifting in from Turnberry, another venerable golf course on this country’s west coast. Twenty-five years have not muffled them. Not in the least. The 1977 British Open, after all, was one for the ages, and not a person who remembers it considers it anything but the finest head-to-head duel between two mammoth champions.

We can only hope that one of the challengers for [[Tiger]] will step up to the plate and give him a run for his money.

at or around line 82 in document/image.php the following line

$def”height = $p->getSitePref(“thumb_width”);

should read

$def”height = $p->getSitePref(“thumb_height”);

now I know why my thumbnails were screwed up.

The Database stuff sounds like a good idea.

I have figured out how to store images in a postgreSQL Blob, it uses
seperate table space for all large objects and puts a pointer(object id) into the table. I believe that oracle and informix also do this.

Where in vanila 0.91 do you actually insert the images into the table?
if it is autoform.php I seam to be missing IT??

Moving stuff into the database…

I figured out how to put a bunch more stuff into the database and make things less reliant on files on the disk. If you take a look at my site, all of the “blocks” on the left and right hand sides of pages are done by code that exists solely in the database, not on disk. This means that extending the functionality of Vanila will be about adding do the database… AND THAT’S ALL [[:-)]] There should be no reason to upload files when I’m done with this…

I think that all theme files, section files, and document support files will end up going away and just be replace with entries in the database.

What do you think?

As far as your new hobby… it looks like stuff I saw in “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” [[:-)]].

Congrats

Method of and system for generating a binary shmoo plot in N-dimensional space

A method of generating a plot that evinces common result regions of a test as a function of controllable input parameters includes defining an overall plot region that is a function of the maximum and a minimum of each input parameter. The method further subdivides the overall plot region into at least two sub-regions, where each of the sub-regions has a sub-region boundary. The method evaluates, for each of the sub-regions, a plurality of boundary test conditions on the sub-region boundary according to the test, so as to assign a test status to each of the plurality of boundary test conditions. For each of the sub-regions with at least a predetermined threshold number of boundary test conditions having a common test status, the method designates the sub-region with the common test status. For each of the sub-regions not having at least the predetermined threshold number of boundary test conditions with a common test status, the method designates that sub-region with an indeterminate status. The method recursively performs the subdividing step, the evaluating step and the designating step for each of the sub-regions designated with an unknown result status until all of said sub-regions are designated by a determinate test status.

I actually came up with that [[:-)]]

What’s wrong with George?

Why can’t George Lucas make a decent movie anymore?

A Danish security researcher warned users of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Outlook and Outlook Express applications that a recently discovered software flaw could leave their system open to malicious code carried on Web pages or in e-mails.

Why am I not surprised?

In an advisory released Wednesday, Thor Larholm, a security researcher and partner at risk-assessment company PivX Solutions, warned that HTML objects embedded in Web pages and e-mails could carry code that allows an attacker to check out victims’ cookie files, read their documents, and execute programs on their computer.

Bill Gates has been quick to point out bugs in Linux (which the open source crowd happily fix [[:-)]] ), but he really needs to look in his own back yard. Windows and ActiveX are to security what a corner is to a prostitute… an invitation to get screwed.

###To all you IT managers out there…

Doesn’t this make you a tad nervous? When was the last time you heard something like this about a a UNIX-type system?

Nobody has won the first three legs of the grand slam since Jack Nicklaus did it in the early seventies.
