http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Persistence_API – Interesting… I really need to look-up the differences between Java SE and Java EE
http://blog.caucho.com/?p=196 – Love this line – “Unfortunately, GAE doesn’t support MySQL, or any other relational database for that matter. We’re limited to Google Datastore, which is pretty much a big hash table.”

I keep forgetting this so here it is, to remove the border around “image links”, set the border style on the IMAGE to none.
Example:
<div id=”example>
<a href =” somewhere.html” > <img src=”someimage.jpg” /> </a>
</div>
To remove the nasty border around the image that happens because it’s embedded in a link you have to set the border style to none, like so:
CSS
#example a img {
border-style:none;
}
Now hopefully I’ll remember this.

WordPress MU
WordPress MU back-end
Who:
Me, myself, and I
What:
WordPress Multi-User edition – The WordPress administrative wrapper that WordPress.com runs off of.
Enables a site to create and maintain as many blogs as their servers can handle using the auto-generated sub-domains (blog1.domainname.com) or folders (domainname.com/blog1).
Currently the development team over at Automattic is merging the codelines of WordPress and WordPress-MU, very exciting.
Features:
- Innumerable blogs
- Using a domain mapping plug-in I was able to turn the MU back-end into a multi-domain/site administrative interface.
Learned:
Slightly more difficult to implement, though following a couple of how-to’s made it pretty easy.
If this is going to be integrated into the general wordpress codeline I will provide an update and how-to once it is available.
