I registered and tried "Adobe Photoshop Express" Beta.
Adobe Photoshop Express is a kind of SaaS (Software as a Service/It can be simplified and explained as a web page or web browser based software)
You don't need install any program and files on your computer. You can use it by just opening a web browser and accessing Photoshop Express page from your bookmark.
I know it is still beta version, but it doesn't run smooth yet when I move between tools.
Anyway, its interface is better than other web based photo editor software. Quality is like Photoshop CS3 and other Adobe software.
The most important thing for me is that this will make people who ask me to install Photoshop piratically shut up.
They think all those who know computer and internet so much have a Photoshop installer. And they also think Adobe Softwares are not product they should pay for, these are like kind of Freeware...
Ofcourse, I am a officially registered owner of Adobe CS3.
On MacOSX 10.4.x or greater version, you can not use cron daemon to execute scheduled commands.
You have to use launchd.
Add plist under /System/Library/LaunchDaemons.
First string belongs to the key "Label" is unique ID of Daemon process.
The array of "Program Arguments" is the command you want to execute.
And "StartCalendarInterval" is date and time of the scheduled command.
After setting plist, enter the command to load plist.
# launchctl load -w NAMEOFPLIST
And check if the plist was surely loaded,
# launchctl list
Unload plist,
#launcctl unload -w NAMEOFPLIST
Here is a sample plist.

Everytime I build vqadmin, I forget the configuration of apache for vqadmin.
Here is the note for me to set vqadmin directive in apache configuration.
-------------------------------------------
Put a conf file named like "httpd-vqadmin.conf" into the directory "Include" or "extra" under "apache22" directory.
And write this directive in it.
<Directory "/usr/local/www/apache22/cgi-bin/vqadmin">
deny from all
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order deny,allow
</Directory>
