I wrote here about my happiness with Leopard (Apple OSX 10.5) and the implementation of PHP which they have put together.
Well Apple just released 10.5.2 (OSX 10.5 Update 2), and still there is no GD library in php, which means that it is still more or less useless to use for anything.

It’s in [...]
So we finally got a build in backup tool in OSX – that is in Leopard. Well get your hands down again (well there have been a lot of talk about this since Leopard was released). The tool is Time Machine, and it kind of does not really do much…. except for having a nice [...]
