I just noticed that Scott’s got the second installment in his Javascript Animation Tutorial up. In part 1 he covered the very basics of animation with Javascript. Now he’s getting into a little more detail about performance choices. It’s great read, he gets right to the point with some insight on how to get smoother animation by avoiding extra rendering in the browser. His simple demo looks pretty cool too (as usual).

Javascript Animation Tutorial

I found an interesting article on Newsforge that talks about getting data from a MySQL database to OpenOffice applications. I think I still have an older version of OO.o installed because I don’t remember seeing the “Base” application that the technique relies on.
Base sounds like it’s worth upgrading to OpenOffice 2. It has it’s own database engine but can access MySQL and a bunch of other formats. I think it’d be interesting to experiment with, but moreover I could get a whole lot more out of MySQL with a good reporting tool.
