Camera phone picture frame

Paul Westbrook | 15 May, 2006 02:57

Img 1 PpvParrot has introduced a new digital picture frame that can accept images from camera phones, through bluetooth. 

When I first saw this picture, I assumed that you could send the images via text messages, with image attachments.  This would be a neat way to send photos to family, with a lot easier setup than the IP based picture frames (eStarling, CEIVA).

BackupMyBlog

Paul Westbrook | 15 May, 2006 02:13

I saw this post on BackupMyBlog.  This is is a service that will backup data from you blog, so you can have redundant backups just in case the host becomes unavailable.  If you want to use this service, you install a php script. It works by dumping the contents of your mysql database.

If you use this, make sure that you are careful of a couple of things.

  1. Make sure that the user that you specify a mysql user that only has read-only access to the databases used by the blog. Update:  The user will need write access to restore a backup
  2. Often blog software store the passwords used to log in in the database.  You should probably make sure that this doesn't get backed up.  (You can do this by making sure that the mysql user doesn't have access to the table that stores the passwords.)
