sidebar!

Filed under: Computing — mrg @ 8:26 pm

I’ve got Google Desktop on my work PC; the Sidebar feature is really handy. Don’t much care for the rest of it (mainly because I use my Mac for most everything; the PC is just for VMs and Outlook really) but that one feature I wish was available on the Mac.

Trying to think through the data persistence thing I wrote about - not going to use PHP for the next Really Big Project(tm) I’ve got going on (probably Java, actually) but it’d be neat to get it going anyway just for the challenge. I may not use memcache like I thought though, since there’s not really any security in memcache. The code is pretty easy; I may just prototype a PHP-based solution and backport or something or whatever.

I’ve got an amex card now. Kinda interesting - like, credit without the credit. Other stuff abounds!

    Before you decide on Java for sure, read this short rant …

    … and then ask yourself what Yahoo, Flickr, Friendster, et. al. may have discovered about persistence solutions that we have not.
