Forums Down

My foreign hosted phpBB3 (along with all other communities hosted by hostingdelivered.com and their own main site) isn't working currently, for about 4 days already. It seems to be a problem related to their server setup and can't be resolved until the administrators return (which disappeared somehow, due to vacations probably).
I'm sure everything will be back working in a few days, so don't worry. However, if you want to stay in touch with me, don't forget there are alternatives: Contact Info
Kim update
Author: Kovu | Date: Aug 20 2010, 21:26:14 CEST
Kim v1.0.1 is ready for download now.
I've added a progress bar dialog for the image processing and fixed the file name extensions (upper/lower case) problems when creating gallery thumbnails.
I've written a PHP class to read ESR record files, typically delivered by swiss banks and post to track pay-in slip payments done by customers. It decodes the records so they can easily be converted for your bookkeeping matters.
Further, SKipper has been updated for the most recent KX-Files release.
Small Updates

Today I have two small updates among my PHP libraries (which I'm running with satisfaction for some months already, but never ended up to publish on the website):
KX-Files v1.0.4 (the num key pad entry is finally working with the GtkEntry functions)
KPrinter v1.0.3 (I've been working out a solution to access printer trays through CUPS tray attributes in Windows)
I just found a nice article worth sharing with other computer users: it's explaining why we shouldn't worry too much about write cycle limits in SSD's (Solid-State Drives, ergo flash drives, the counterpart to Hard-Disk Drives).
I find that to be funny, at some point, because many EeePC users are scaremongering that the disk of these netbooks might fail if you use the main, inbuilt drive like a regular hard drive. I'm actually using my EeePC on a daily basis, with the main drive, and I never really had a problem.
However, what we have to pay attention with is the type of flash storage devices. Zsolt Kerekes, editor over at www.storagesearch.com, wrote another article about the reliability of MLC (Multi Layer Cell) devices, which have bigger error potential and less endurance than the SLC (Single Layer Cell) technology, but are much cheaper than the traditional flash devices:
