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.

now if they would only make a 30GB IPod, I would have to run out and buy one

P.S. I like the new theme changes

George Will, baseball lover and author of
Men at Work and other books, eulogises one of the greats.

There is no joy in Red Sox nation, aka New England, or in any heart where baseball matters. When Ted Williams arrived in Boston at age 20 in 1939, a spindly 6-foot-4, the Splendid Splinter said, “All I want out of life is that when I walk down the street folks will say, ‘There goes the greatest hitter that ever lived.”‘ When he died Friday at age 83, many people did say that, and no one said they were foolish.

Apple Computer plans to serve up a new iMac model with a larger flat-panel display during next week’s Macworld Expo trade show, according to sources.

The upgrade to a 17-inch liquid crystal display (LCD) comes as sales have all but stalled on existing 15-inch flat-panel iMacs. Apple unveiled the original flat-panel iMac, which suspends the monitor from a pivoting arm attached to a hemispherical base, during January’s Macworld Expo in San Francisco.

The tech market really has stalled… but if it gets me a 17 inch monitor on an iMac, I can live with that.
