Kodo JDO 3.3.0 beta (Beta branch)

Kodo JDO 3.3.0 beta (Beta branch) 02/05/2005 09:35 PM
Kodo JDO allows you to write database calls using Java statements instead of SQL statements, by supporting the Java Data Objects standard for transparent persistence. It is the most complete implementation of the JDO specification for relational data stores, and comes with tools for producing a schema from an object model, producing class files from an existing schema, and a performance pack (distributed caching and statement batching) that improves performance by 15 - 30 times. It supports most relational databases, application servers, and IDEs, and reduces the total coding effort by 20-40%.

---

Changes:
This beta introduced a number of JDO 2 features including preview support for single field identity. This allows for the use of application identity without writing object ID classes when using a single primary key field. A lifecycle event listening framework was added as a JDO 2 preview feature. A convenience method was added for retrieving instances based on OID, primary key value, and stringified OIDs. Apache Derby/Cloudscape support was added. Caches can now be evicted on a schedule. JMX 1.2 is now supported.

OpenSHORE 2.0.0 Beta 1 (Beta branch)

OpenSHORE 2.0.0 Beta 1 (Beta branch) 03/29/2005 09:16 AM
SHORE (Semantic Hypertext Object Repository) is a hypertext repository that stores data about documents and data described by documents. Access to this information is provided as hypertext. The repository stores objects that appear in documents, together with their relations in a semantic net. Hypertext navigation follows these relations in the semantic net. The SHORE server works as an HTTP server, and the client is a standard Web browser. The repository uses PROLOG as its query language and the XSB system as its query engine.

---

Changes:
This release integrates the latest XSB Prolog version 2.7.1 (Kinryo) as the query engine. This offers the user sophisticated deductive query possibilities to find out all sorts of information inside stored documents and about the relations among them. OpenSHORE shows query results as hypertext, which leads the user directly to found documents, semantically marked text sections (objects), and relation end points. The query engine reads facts about documents on demand from an interface to the object-oriented database of OpenSHORE, so facts must not be copied for queries.

Graphics3D 6.05 beta 2 (Beta branch)

Graphics3D 6.05 beta 2 (Beta branch) 02/05/2005 09:34 PM
Graphics3D is a free, Open Source C++ library for game developers, researchers, and students. It is a base of robust and high performance code common to most 3D projects. It is not a standalone graphics or game engine--it is the set of pieces you need to jumpstart your own engine or graphics project. The library has two parts: G3D for pure math, and GLG3D for interacting with hardware acceleration via OpenGL. You can use G3D without GLG3D if you want to use another 3D API (like DirectX) or don't like the OpenGL abstraction.

---

Changes:
This release has support for g++ through 3.4.x, 2D and video rendering, 3DS loader, wxWidgets, a Win32 installer, large performance increases for networking, and workarounds for bugs in older graphics card drivers. There are precompiled binaries for OS X, Linux, MSVC 6, and MSVC 7.

OpenSSH LDAP Public Key patch 0.3.2
(Default branch)

OpenSSH LDAP Public Key patch 0.3.2
(Default branch) 04/06/2005 07:01 AM
The OpenSSH LDAP Public Key patch provides an easy way of centralizing strong user authentication by using an LDAP server for retrieving public keys instead of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. It uses the standard core.schema/nis.schema and strongAuthenticationUser object class, which can simplify login centralization but could introduce serious security flaws if the LDAP server is not correctly configured.

---

Changes:
This release added support for LDAP server failover, LDAP persistent connections, a rewrite and cleanup of the LDAP userkey retrieval and group checks, renamed sshd_config lpk tokens, an easier installation process, and various bugfixes.

A glitch in Microsoft's Windows Update automated patching service caused a security fix that was released last month to be delivered to computer users on Tuesday, the same day Microsoft proclaimed December would be a patch-free month. The software patch fixes a serious vulnerability in a set of Web site management tools called FrontPage Server Extensions, which are part of Microsoft's Windows 2000, Windows XP and Office XP software, according to Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-051 released Nov. 11. Exploiting the flaw could allow an attacker to gain control over a user's PC, Microsoft said.

HOWTO bl0g anonymously

HOWTO bl0g anonymously 04/08/2005 12:54 AM
Cory Doctorow: EFF has released a guide to blogging anonymously, with "basic measures people can take to keep their blogs anonymous and explores what the law says about discussing work-related issues online. Some advice is common sense; for example, don't post a picture of yourself if you want to stay anonymous. But for bloggers who want strong guarantees of privacy, EFF suggests using technologies like Tor or Anonymizer to prevent your blog-hosting company from logging your computer's unique Internet Protocol (IP) address. Bloggers who fear they could be fired for blogging are also given an introduction to laws that prevent an employer from punishing them for speaking out online."

The bad news is that in many cases, there is no legal means of redress if you've been fired for blogging. While your right to free speech is protected by the First Amendment, this protection does not shield you from the consequences of what you say. The First Amendment protects speech from being censored by the government; it does not regulate what private parties (such as most employers) do. In states with "at will" employment laws like California, employers can fire you at any time, for any reason. And no state has laws that specifically protect bloggers from discrimination, on the job or otherwise.

One way to make sure your blog doesn't earn you a pink slip is to make sure that you write about certain protected topics. Most states have laws designed to prevent employers from firing people who talk openly about their politics outside of work, for example. Be warned that laws like this do vary widely from state to state, and many are untested when it comes to blogging.

Update: Jesse Andrews, the fellow who wrote this de-Xeni script, would appear to be busted. :-) Chad Hurley, who identifies himself as Mr. Andrews' employer, says:

Hi Xeni,

Just a note about Mr. Andrews and his "de-Xeni" plugin - We’ve caught him looking at far worse things than your "over the top" posts. Why he has picked you to filter, one may never know, but I have an idea for a plugin. Maybe I will add it to the Grease Monkey requests. It’s really simple. When Jesse opens Firefox, it directs Jesse to a folder on my server called, "Things Jesse needs to do today before the big hand is on 12 and the little hand is on 5"! Just an idea.

Keep on keepin' on,

HOWTO stop procrastinating

HOWTO stop procrastinating 09/09/2004 08:59 AM
Cory Doctorow: On Merlin Mann's 43 Folders productivity blog, he runs through a great high-level overview of the geek-cult-smash, "Getting Things Done," a comprehensive and nerdy guide to systematizing yourself out of procrastination.

Stuff is bouncing around in our heads and causing untold stress and anxiety. Evaluation meetings, bar mitzvahs, empty rolls of toilet paper, broken lawn mowers, college applications, your big gut, tooth decay, dirty underwear and imminent jury duty all compete for prime attention in our poor, addled brains. Stuff has no “home” and, consequently, no place to go, so it just keeps rattling around.

Worst off, we’re too neurotic to stop thinking about it, and we certainly don’t have time to actually do everything in one day. Jeez Louise, what the hell am I, Superman?

So you sprint from fire to fire, praying you haven’t forgotten anything, sapped of anything like creativity or even the basic human flexibility to adapt your own schedule to the needs of your friends, your family or yourself. Your “stuff” has taken over your brain like a virus now, dragging down every process it touches and rendering you spent and virtually useless. Sound familiar?

Jake's a pretty serious geek. He says he's been asked not to share exactly why he's there, or what exactly he's doing for whom, but this is sure an interesting post.

This is how I spent my day today. It took around 6 hours round trip to drive to Sulimaniya, Iraq. This in Kurdistan where we did the install. I learned some stuff, it's mostly simple labor but it raised some interesting questions in my mind about interception.

As far as I can tell, it's entirely possible to intercept any data being sent to earth in an entirely passive way. I'm going to look into this more before I make any outlandish claims, if you know, feel free to let me know.

(...) This [photo] is the lead engineer checking to find the 251 degree azimuth. The tool he's holding is totally awesome and old school. I think you could sail around the world with it if you were determined.
