Hey, buddy! Have a hat!

Hey, buddy! Have a hat! 03/22/2005 04:42 PM
In a rare burst of common sense, I passed the Parrot design lead hat on. Chip Salzenburg, past perl pumpkin, has agreed to take on the hat, which I'm quite happy about. Chip's a sharp guy, and I have no worries that between Chip and Leo that Parrot's in good hands. I expect the news'll not take too many people by surprise, as it was past due. I've been essentially missing the past few months, with Real Life (pesky thing that -- I think I disapprove) getting in the way....

Research Buddy - Saves References To WebPages in Bibliographical Reference Form
http://researchbuddy.mozdev.or g/

Research Buddy saves references to webpages in a bibliographical reference form. The extension is designed to be used in the following way: 1) The user finds a quote on a webpage and wants to reference the quote in his/her paper, 2) The user selects the text of this quote, and, in the right-click menu, selects "Research Buddy" (this step is optional: the page can be referenced without selected text), 3) The plugin opens the main Research Buddy dialog, which allows the user to select which research topic the page should be filed under, and 4) The user clicks on "Add to selected topic", and the reference is saved to the topic. Depending on the preferences, the page (and it's images) may be saved to the user's disk. Users can also add new topics, delete old topics, rename topics, and view the bibliography for a topic. The Research Buddy preferences allow the user to configure the behavior of the plugin. Preferences are stored in a file, so they persist between web sessions: a) Bibliography format string (defaults to a generic reference string, b) Root directory to store pages in (set to the mozilla profile directory by default), c) Save the html of the referenced page (this is useful for ensuring access to the content regardless of the availability of the website. on by default, d) Save the images on the referenced page (useful for pages where content is at least partially contained in images. off by default to save disk space), e) Many bibliography strings will require an "Author" field. Due to the difficulty of accurately finding the author of a given webpage, they decided that this task be left up to the user, and f) The citations are stored in xml format, and an html file is only generated when the user clicks on "View Topic". This has been added to the tool section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog and added to Student Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Thanks to Cory for sending me iPhoto Buddy a while back, after I was complaining how slow iPhoto was. I finally got around to some (rather tedious) division of my library (by years -- '98 through '04), and I'm a much happier iPhoto camper. Much zippier (and I don't have to look at past pictures I'm glad to have but don't really want to see on a daily basis). Now, I just gotta get a camera.

PHPBB, Sessions and Inbox Buddy

PHPBB, Sessions and Inbox Buddy 02/12/2003 12:31 PM
PHPBB, Sessions and Inbox Buddy We use PHPBB, an excellent web discussion tool, to run the support forum for Inbox Buddy. And lately it has been crashing with a "Error Creating New Session" issue. And while I have learned to laboriously go into MySQL and purge the session table, they now have an officially sanctioned fix for it. Apparently the issue is that a lot of bots are hammering sites trying to retrieve data and thus generating a lot more sessions than necessary. Since sessions are stored in a heap table, the maximum rows are quickly reached and the sessions are maxed out giving the error. The fix automatically deletes from the heap table allowing the error to (theoretically) never occur. [_Go_] This brings me to a larger session related php question -- are sessions good or bad in general? It seems like lately whenever I encounter sessions in a large php application, they always cause some kind of issue. Is this bad programming or simply the nature of sessions? Clearly linking directly to specific things is more important than ever and sessions seem to interfere with that (at a minimum they mangle the url's length). Note: I haven't done much programming with sessions in PHP at all so I could be way off base here. Perhaps they are the best thing since sliced bread and squirtable mustard and I just don't know it.

If you like Science Fiction, if you like Star Wars, Babylon 5, or the Green Lantern, then you've probably heard of E. E. "Doc" Smith Ph.D., the man credited with getting powdered sugar to stick to donuts and with creating several of the most influential tales to ever spring from the "pulps" of the 1940s. The grandfather of Space Opera his Lensmen books, while badly written and horribly dated, still create that sense of wonder that all SF junkies crave.

Sync Buddy 2.0.1 Syncs Palms and Mac OS

Jeff Carlson (~160 words)

Sync Buddy 2.0.1 Syncs Palms and Mac OS X -- Back in the early days of the PalmPilot, Florent Pillet released Palm Buddy (later renamed Sync Buddy), a Mac OS program for backing up data from a Palm OS handheld by opening an active connection between the two machines. Now, Pillet has rewritten Sync Buddy for Mac OS X. Sync Buddy 2.0.1 can back up handhelds via USB, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connections. It also lets you install files and transfer photos, as well as copy files to removable media such as SD cards. The utility is compatible with Hot Sync Manager (which Palm Desktop uses to synchronize data) and Mark/Space's The Missing Sync software, automatically disabling them while Sync Buddy is running, and re-enabling them when it's done. Sync Buddy 2.0.1 costs $25, and is available as a 4.3 MB download. [JLC]

It's blatantly improper for Scalia and Cheney to buddy it up this way. But when Scalia says, as he's quoted in this story, "I do not think my impartiality could reasonably be questioned," he invites ridicule. Too bad, with Republican control of government, that it won't go any further.
