Demo of Adobe In Context Editing

Here's the standard page ... and here's the editing page for the demo of Adobe's new In Context Editing feature.

Apparently it's a feature of Dreamweaver CS4, but it looks as if it would be difficult for Adobe to prevent anyone adding the same capability to their own website by doing manually what CS4 does automatically. OK, so it would take longer to do manually, but you still get a "free" CMS with all kinds of cool (and useful) features!

One to hack about with take a look at in a bit of downtime soon ;-)

LiveTimer - Web-Based Time Tracking

LiveTimer looks fairly hopeful and close to what I'm trying to develop myself ... now if only I can work out the API so that I can get it to deduct the time spent from the time allocated to a project and show me how much time I have left to do each task / group of tasks... :-)

PDO - the PHP Data Objects data-access abstraction layer

Introduction to Php Data Objects
This is the starting point for learning about PDO. It's not a database abstraction layer, but it does give you a consistent way of accessing data from a known, specific database i.e. it allows you to run all your queries in the same way etc.
