Web based data management with DabbleDB

Just as I start to design a small db app to manage our business cash flow projections, I get an email from the folks at DabbleDB telling me I can now register for a trial account.

I haven’t had a chance to give it a thorough test drive, but from what I’ve seen with a few click arounds, and from watching their screencast demonstration, it looks to be able to do some very funky things with minimal input or configuration.

Check out the screencast here, I’ll post again if/when I’ve managed to implement something useful with it.

Firefox download delay solved

I’ve noticed for a while now that every time I try to download something via Firefox it takes a ridiculous amount of time for the ‘Save as’ and Download Manager dialogue windows to pop up and actually do anything. Very frustrating!

Turns out it’s because I never clear my download history…probably not a good idea, but it never occured to me. Today I hit ‘Clean up’ on the bottom right of the download manager, and now everything is nice and responsive again.
