They are reporting that Microsoft have publically released Windows
Update v6, now dubbed Microsoft Update. Users on Windows 2000,
2003 Server and XP have access to the web site after downloading an
ActiveX update. The new update site supports both Windows and Office
2003 updates in one central location making it easier for customers to
get a hold of the latest patches and updates available to Microsoft
software.
Once at the website, you'll have to agree to download some new
software which may take a couple of minutes, but once done you'll see
the new version of the Windows Update website - although there don't
seem to be any new updates on there at the moment. Windows XP users
will have to have at least Service Pack 1 to use the site.

ImageMagick - Convert, Edit, and
Compose Images: I just want to give a little recognition to
ImageMagick, which is a free image manipulation library that's been
around for years. I downloaded a new version the other day, and I'm
so impressed at what it can do.
ImageMagickTM 6.0.2 is a robust collection of tools and
libraries to read, write, and manipulate an image in many image
formats (over 89 major formats) including popular formats like TIFF,
JPEG, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, and GIF.
I'm using this version on a Windows server via PHP. It has an
installer, comes with a little image viewer and all sorts of other
goodies, and just works beautifully in general.
ImageMagick has fantastic API
support (though no Windows COM API, curiously), and there's some
great documentation out there. In particular, this page over at IBM's site will give you a great start on what
it can do, and this page takes it a bit further.
Using ImageMagick, I built a page whereby I can dynamically resize
an image by calling it with a certain URL pattern. Say I have a
600-pixel image that I need at 200-pixels for a certain page. I just
embed the image in HTML like this:
<img src="/size/200/actual/path/to/image.jpg">
Using an Apache AliasMatch directive, that request is intercepted
by a PHP page which opens the image, resizes it, then serves it up at
the requested size. It's like I have the image pre-sized at an
infinite number of dimensions.
There are some efficiency concerns here as image resizing isn't
cheap in terms of CPU cycles, but this is for a business intranet with
loads of extra CPU capacity. If I was doing this on the Internet, I'd
at least cache the resized result for future requests.

ImageMagick (TM) is a package for the automated and interative
manipulation of images. It supports the display and interactive
manipulation of images when used with the X Window System. Although
the software is copyrighted by ImageMagick Studio, it is available for
free and can be redistributed without fee. ImageMagick may be used as
a component of both open source and proprietary applications.
ImageMagick compiles and runs under Unix, Linux, Windows '95 and
later, Apple MacOS, and Compaq VMS. Binary packages are available for
most operating systems. Application programming interfaces (APIs) are
provided to support development of image processing applications in
the C, C++, and Perl languages.

Microsoft releases source code to open source community
Microsoft releases source code to open source community05/05/2004 04:06 AM About a month ago, Microsoft posted some of its source code to
SourceForge. SourceForge is a, if not the, major distribution point
for open source software. Microsoft's code was put there under the
terms of the Common Public License, which allows modification,
addition, redistribution - in short, it allows most of the rights and
privileges that we associate with open source software.

IBM Adopts
Open Development Internally: "Following on the success of its
Eclipse open-source development platform, IBM has quietly been using a
form of open-source development internally to create technology the
company will sell commercially.
IBM calls its model Community Source, which it defines as a
collaborative, internal, open-source-style environment for developing
and testing new technology.
Danny Sabbah, vice president of strategy and technology for the IBM
Software Group, in Armonk, N.Y., said IBM is using its Community
Source model across 100 projects and 2,000 developers in the company.
These projects span the IBM Software Group, Systems Group, Research
and Global Services, he said."
Very interesting. I'd like to learn more about that. What parts of the
so called open source development process have they built into the
Community Source model? I've found that most developers have different
definitions of the open source development process (via Ross
Gardler).

More on Source Leak: Microsoft Targets Source Pirates02/19/2004 08:34 AM Microsoft is taking steps to stop its leaked Windows source code
spreading widely on the internet. It is using the messaging systems in
file-swapping networks to alert people sharing the code that what they
are doing is illegal.
The software giant said it had written to "some" of the people it had
identified as sharing the source code. Anyone searching for the source
code on file-sharing systems will see a pop-up message alerting them
to the fact that downloading the code is illegal.

Zope Corp.'s layered strategy of engagement with open source and
visible-source communities is a compelling blend of the strengths of
free and commercial software development. In two previous columns, Open
source citizenship and Giving
back to open source, I explored the tendency of enterprises to
fork open source projects rather than join them. Pedhazur suggests
that a commercial entity supporting both an open source base and a
visible-source layered product can reduce the need to fork. By
outsourcing code enhancements, the argument goes, an enterprise can
enjoy single-throat-to-choke control without seceding from a project's
community. It remains to be seen how broadly this model can apply, but
in cases where it does, what's not to like? [Full story at
InfoWorld.com]
In this two-minute
clip, Zope Corp.'s Chairman Hadar Pedhazur describes the visible
source model as a middle-ground option between the few large open
source projects, whose direction an enterprise cannot easily
influence, and the many smaller ones that enterprises can influence,
but typically fork in order to do so.

When Open Source doesn't open and source doesn't matter
When Open Source doesn't open and source doesn't matter07/20/2004 11:14 AM One frustration too many: time for a rant. When a bug in Mozilla
(keyboard focus is on the previously selected window) has remained
unfixed for at least 18 to 24 months, when XFree86 mouse interaction
with PS/2 or GPM remains hazardous and makes a system unusable and
that bug has been fobbed off to the kernel developers and not dealt
with for at least two years - when there are more examples like this
that make using Open Source software a pain, what do you do?
Are you one of the few people with the time and money and
expertise sufficient to delve into the source yourself to fix the
problem?
Do we have it "too good" and these niggles are, by comparison to
the rest of the world's computer users (Windows), absolute peanuts?
