Recommended database backend for blog
Greetings, I'm building my personal website using php. My standard approach is to use MySQL as a database backend.

Are there any HTML5/Canvas windowing system libraries (ala Qt, WxWidgets, etc)?
With the beginning of widespread HTML5 support and Canvas support, it seems that someone could create a desktop-esque windowing system library for RIAs. Something similar to Qt or WxWidgets. All the required parts seem to be there (runtime language: javascript, pixel drawing: canvas, even vector drawing with SVGs). This seems to me an...

POST/Redirect/GET (PRG) vs. meaningful 2xx response codes
Since the POST request in a POST/Redirect/GET (PRG) pattern returns a redirect (303 See Other) status code on success, is it at all possible to inform the client of the specific flavour of success they are to enjoy (eg. OK, Created, Accepted, etc.) as well as any appropriate headers (eg. Location for a 201 Created, which might conflict w...

Performance of returning entire tables containing blog text as opposed to selecting specific columns
I think this is a pretty common scenario: I have a webpage that's returning links and excerpts to the 10 most recent blog entries. If I just queried the entire table, I could use my ORM mapped object, but I'd be downloading all the blog text. If I restricted the query to just the columns that I need, I'd be defining another class that'...

How can you get a screenshot from someone's web browser?
I didn't think this was possible, but http://www.snapabug.com provides a service that uses screen capture technology to generate reports that helps you help your users. How are they able to do this??
