“The chart is now in a searchable database format. This is a major upgrade which will allow for more complex searching, the ability to narrow results to a single film/dev combination, and more frequent updates. As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions. Please Note: Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this data, it is always advisable to run some tests of your own before developing important work.”

“This document describes how to setup a system for automatically backing up a Mac (OS X 10.2 or later) to an external drive using freely available software. This applies to any kind of external drive including FireWire, USB and network drives. It does not apply to CD-R or DVD-R media. It also does not apply if you want to implement an incremental backup system.”

“If the photo-sharing site Flickr is any indication, the world of digital photographers is dominated by cat people. Dog owners would probably object. But because of Flickr’s tagging system, which allows the photographers or other users to assign identifying tags to most photos on the service, we know that Flickr hosts 23,081 images tagged with ‘cat’ or ‘cats’ and only 17,463 with ‘dog’ or ‘dogs.’ Clearly, Flickr’s system was not set up to motivate a feline-canine supremacy contest. But it does illustrate the way thousands of the service’s members use tags to give some contextual meaning to more than 3.5 million pictures that might otherwise get lost in the shuffle.”
