Browser innovation is alive and well
09/14/2004 11:04 AMHere's a feature that caught me by surprise (maybe I
haven't been keeping my ear close enough to the ground): the new Firefox 1.0 preview release
supports Live Bookmarks, a novel twist on RSS aggregators where feeds look just
like bookmark folders, displaying a list of bookmarks corresponding to
the headlines from the feed. Best of all, the feature support R
SS autodiscovery. Sites with auto-discoverable feeds display an
attractive RSS
icon on the right hand side of the status bar, allowing for one click
subscriptions.
There are certainly some issues to be ironed out.
Subscribing to a feed without auto-discovery isn't very easy, as the
"New Live Bookmark" button is missing from the bookmark manager's
toolbar (look in the File menu there instead). I also haven't found
the interface for setting subscription options such as polling
intervals, so I'll have to trust that Firefox is doing more or less
the right thing. Those points aside, it's great to see Firefox driving
forward browser innovation yet again.
Update: Here's a killer app for this
feature: if you use blogmarks/b-links/del.icio.us instead of bookmarks,
subscribing to the accompanying RSS feed as a live bookmark will give you
access to your most recently added items within the browser UI.

Just in case you are wondering, I am still alive and kicking.
I have been busy
with a project for a client and I have barely managed to get enough
sleep in the last
six days because I have to deliver by this Sunday something
that will wow people
into opening their pocket next week.
As usual, it's a lonewolf project because there is neither the time
nor resources
to pull together a team. I am trying to slip in some fancy
design features for
flexibility but it's mostly wham-bam-stay-out-of-my-way-fool and
I'll-fix-that-later going
on.
Yeah, it's Silicon Valley at its best since crash projects like
these are impossible
to outsource. Days of milking fat mega-corporations on
multi-year projects are
gone and lean mean shoot-from-the-hip
or work-for-nickles days are here.

Despite what certain agencys may want you to believe, Peer-to-Peer
file sharing is booming big time. To my surprise, video has actually
over taken music in the #1 content slot being downloaded. The BBC
reports that file-swappers have moved their trust away from the
traditional clients on to other set ups like Bittorrent….

Christoph, left us last month. But despite this, development is going

Version 0.9.5 of the Fink package manager was recently released,
and many updated and new packages are in our CVS.

12/19/2003 03:44 PM The Bush Administration has
advocated, and Congress recently approved , the repeal of a 1994
ban on U.S. research and development on new, low-yield nuclear
weapons, setting the stage for pursuit of a new generation of such
weapons. "The Administration had sought to remove this
restriction because of the chilling effect it has had on nuclear
weapons research and development," wrote Linton F. Brooks, head
of the National Nuclear Security Administration in a
December
5 memo(PDF). A detailed Congressional Research Service (CRS)
report on "
Nuclear Weapon
Initiatives: Low-Yield R&D, Advanced Concepts, Earth Penetrators,

Supreme Court Affirms Detainees' Right to Use Courts. The
Supreme Court ruled today that people being held by the United States
as enemy combatants can challenge their detention in American courts
— the court's most important statement in decades on the balance
between personal liberties and national security.
There's still a scary deference to the executive branch
in some of the language in these rulings. But there's also something
to cheer: the president can't decide what the law is.
The court punted on the Padilla case. He's an American citizen who was
grabbed on U.S. soil and slammed indefinitely into a military brig.
The court said his lawyer raised the case in the wrong court. Sheesh.
But there's overall good news. As one justice wrote, the "War on
Terror" does not give the president "a blank check" in defining the
rights -- or lack of rights -- the Constitution grants.

Hussein as he hid in a dirt hole under a farmhouse near his hometown
of Tikrit, ending one of the most intensive manhunts in history. The
arrest, eight months after the fall of Baghdad, was carried out
without a shot fired and was a huge victory for U.S. forces. I wonder
how this will change things......

The Fax Machine Stays Alive
03/28/2005 03:37 AMIt's been nearly a year and a half since we last checked in on the
world of fax machines and found that, despite this whole digital
internet paperless revolution thing,
the
fax machine refused to die. It turns out, a year and a half
later, not much has changed. The
fax machine is still a necessary piece of equipment for many
businesses, and shows no signs of going away any time soon. In fact,
some are saying that fax machine sales are actually going up these
days. Of course, some of us still can't figure out what it's good
for, other than documents where a signature is needed -- though, it's
also being used in places where people don't want to give out their
email addresses, but prefer the less personable fax machine as a way
to ward off constant contact.

Handtops has nice
overview of the Antelope MCC, the 'modular computing core' computer
that uses swappable cores to allow you to move you environment from a
desktop dock to a handheld shell computer, enabling a complete
environment migration if you need to move on the go. And that would be
great and all if Antelope didn't completely shit themselves with the
price -- we're talking around $4,000 to buy all the pieces to take
advantage of it -- and that's without a lot of normal features
like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth built in.
They claim to be for the business segment, and that's fine, but if
you're going to charge a fully-premium price for something, you better
have an all-around premium product.
The Antelope has been out for almost a year, but it's been at least
that long since we've vented our impotent rage at it, so there you
go.

Servers Alive v4.1.1609
05/19/2004 04:12 PMServers Alive is a network monitor program. Among the many checks it
can do: it can monitor any Winsock service, ping a host, check if an
NT service/process is running, check the available disk space on a
server, retrieve an URL, check your database engine, and more. When it
detects a down condition it can warn you in various ways, including
sending you an email (SMTP) saying what is down, or paging you with a
numeric or alphanumeric warning. It's also the first monitoring
program to support WAP pages viewable with wireless devices. Servers
Alive also supports host dependency and can be easily interrogated
using a telnet client and/or a web browser. [Shareware $180.00 10

The Hyote, a magical
mystery animal that's been running around central Maryland, has
apparently been captured. (Previous post
here.) Amazingly though, this Hyote--a male red fox with sarcoptic
mange, according to veterinarians--is most likely the offspring of the
larger animal caught on video last month. Once the baby Hyote is well
again, animal control will release it back into the wild.
