PHPture: Aperture on the web
PHPture is very cool, and almost makes me wish I used Aperture to organize my photos. PHPture leverages the web technologies that are baked into every Mac running OS X to enable sharing of your Aperture library over the web. PHPture is limited to serving up webpages from the Mac that has Aperture installed on it by default, but I don't see why you can't serve up PHPture from a remote server that has access to your Aperture library.
PHPture is open source, requires PHP 5 (which isn't included with OS X) and has been tested on OS X 10.4.9.
Thanks, Nik.

because aperture isn't already slow enough...lets limit the library to 1mb/s

Aperture slow? I hadn't noticed. I just finished processing 200 RAW files and it all went fine...

Uhh Aperture is quite fast even on my old, obsolete MacBook Pro Core Duo 2.16 with 2 gigs of ram.

why would you consider your MBP obsolete?

PHPture is GREAT: and fast (does not uses Aperture, but access to the database...)
Missing a slideshow...
Hint: on OS X, use MAMP to install PHP5: free and easy install (and uninstall).

"aperture vs lightroom speed: Aperture is SLOOOOOOOOW while lightroom is FAAAAAAAST"
I used the Lightroom beta for a couple weeks...To me it was no faster (or slower) than Aperture. They're both equally fast and responsive to everything I'm doing. What, specifically, is slow about Aperture for you? Also, what system are you running it on?
I ultimately went with Aperture because I like the library management features MUCH better than Lightroom...but that's just me. To each his own...
