On the SitePoint PHP Blog, there's a new post from Harry Fuecks pointing out an extension for PHP that allows it to use the Cairo graphics library.   Cairo is the "next generation" vector graphics library for Linux and very cool to have it available in PHP. Also cool about the extension was created using PEAR::CodeGen_PECL, which Hartmut describes here: look Mum - no C! (well almost).   Harry also asks if, with the rise of new technologies like this, if it's time to make the move to deprecate GD from normal PHP use - at the same time, removing another hurdle in PHP's path towards being thread safe.

Mike Wallner has an update posted about the development of the pecl/http package.   I recently implemented an interface to the curl-share functionality in form of an HttpRequestDataShare class.   He includes the data that the Reflection API would give for this new functionality and how it can be used to make name lookups simple.

Juce in the spotlight Hands on Last month I looked at Qt, the popular C++ cross-platform framework which underpins the KDE desktop, and a whole lot more. This time, I'm continuing that same theme by taking a look at another cross-platform C++ library called Juce (OK, no jokes about Apple Juce!)â¦

First, let me gloat.  I bought $49,761 of AAPL on Oct 8.  My investment is now worth $54,933. That's 10.5 percent growth in less than a month. Hah! I bought the stock because I was going to buy everything Apple sold from now until forever. The last product I had yet to purchase was the company's stock. That was a mistake. The beauty of owning the stock is that you can use the increase in value to fund the hardware habit. So far so good.  My very dear friend Sylvia Paull bought an iPod a month ago. In a blog post today she calls it a gateway drug. Having read early reviews of the new operating system, she's ready to buy a 24 inch iMac.  I recognize the signs.  It's like a virus I tell you.
