HTML in a relational database - why for goodness sake?

If I had a vote in The technology turkey awards, I'd vote for websites 'managed' at great cost through a relational database as being a strong contender for the title.

Can blogs save MMS?

Can blogs save MMS.
The word "save" works here at two levels (a) "save" as in "save from not taking the world by storm" and (b) "save" as in "save my pictures somewhere so that I can free up the space on my phone.".

"Unlike SMS, where text messages have no need for persistence, MMS thrives on persistence of message. Why take a photo if you ultimately have to dump it when your phone's memory fills up? By firing a picture over to a blog, users can capture the moment and the thought, and alert others to the posting.

Indeed.

Python and the programmer. (Java - get a grip)

Bruce Eckel extolls the virtues of Python. With Jython, most of what he says is applicable to Java (the platform) development too.

I have Jython integrated with Tomcat 4. I use it for servlets and for JSPs (via the Bean Scripting Framework). I'm way more productive than I would be with straight Java (the language). I urge all Java folk doing web apps to try it out.

Maybe. Maybe not.
