Moonstream, new city gadget?

Great example of non-earth vehicle designed by Anthony Sims. After the Phoenix has landed to Mars, could Moonstream be the next vehicle that we will send? That would be awesome, I can't imagine Mars ride with this monster...

The designer claims to have taken cues from nature, citing the turtle shells and the stance of giraffes as inspirations. To be completely honest though, it looks like a DLP projector with wheels.

In this moment, I would love to have it for city traffic. Want pizza, sure, give me 5 min...

World's biggest airport, Beijing China

If some day little green people from outer space decide to visit us, (but not like in the movie "War of the Worlds"), finally they would have a place where to land their spaceships.

Gigantic Dragon Terminal as they like to call it, is huge. With capacity of 50 million passengers per year, and coverage of 1,300-square-kilometer (501 square-mile), oh yes, is the biggest one. Just for info, the building is 17% bigger than Heathrow (London) T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 (the new one) together. It has five floors in total, two are underground. It's ready for 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Upgrading mysql database and php 0 Permalink Posted in: ExpressionEngine Technology

Upgrading mysql database and php

This month my host company will upgrade mysql database to version 5 and make PHP5 part of the standard working environment. I’m not expecting any kind of problems for now. Maybe a little downtime while they are doing geek stuff with the database.

Until now, I didn't heard that anyone had troubles with ExpressionEngine. They sad he works only faster after upgrading. We'll see.

Microsoft, more is better! IE 5.5 beats IE6 and IE7 on Acid 3 0 Permalink Posted in: Technology

Microsoft, more is better! IE 5.5 beats IE6 and IE7 on Acid 3

Acid 3 is a test of dynamic browser capabilities which exists to encourage browser vendors to focus on interoperability. It's a hard browser test of 100 tasks of almost all area. Acid3 now includes DOM Scripting capability.

Browser needs to be at default settings (zoom, font changing, custom styles will do "bad numbers"). There is no browser who passed the test with 100%, but some of the results are interesting. If the % numbers says 15% that means that he passed 15 of 100 Acid3 tasks.
