Graphic design and deadlines often seem to go hand in hand, so most designers welcome software that helps them do their work faster. CorelDraw 12, part of the new CorelDraw Graphics Suite 12 software package, recognizes rough shapes and drawings sketched onscreen with a mouse or a graphics pen, instantly turns them into smooth curves and lines, and properly positions them in a document.

Sketch!
Posted by: wilwheaton.
I visited my fat guy this afternoon. He looks good, even if he's a little skinny. I left him with his catnip mouse, and a T-shirt that I wore yesterday, and his brother slept on all day today. I think it'll make him happy.

I was able to stay with him for about an hour. I tried to feed him, but he didn't want to eat. Whenever I'd put some food by his face, he'd push it away, and rub against my hand instead. I think he just wanted lots of love, and I got the impression that he just wants to come home.

Anne is going to visit him tonight, and his vet told me that he'd get to come home tomorrow.

I asked her how long he had, assuming we figure out what dosage of lasix does a good job of keeping his lungs dry without hurting his kidneys too much . . . and she told me that the average for cats is six months to a year. I had to choke back some tears when she said that, and she told me that it was just the average. Sketch could live much longer. Of course, he could also live shorter. We won't have a good idea for a few days.

At least he's getting to come home, though. I really miss him.

God, I have so much I want to write about. I want to tell you guys all In the City Interactive and what apparently smart people were saying about convergence. I want to tell you all about the debate I had with BPI-chief Steve Redmond and Factory records' grouchy swearing pop svengali, Tony Wilson. I want to tell you all about the Geek dinner for Robert Scoble that I attended with about a thousand other people, and where I had too many margaritas and scabbed Lucky Strikes off Hugh Macleod. I want to talk about hanging out with Joe Clark, Andy Budd and the @media folks at Pizza Express last night.

I want to talk about the complete absence of news about my father, and how much it's preying on my mind and about the mini-reunion I'm going to this afternoon for people who were present at the very first few blogmeets in London, five years ago this weekend. (Full blogmeets to follow.) And then there's all the chat that I'd like to be doing about what I should be doing in San Francisco (arriving a week today, free up your diaries), and the fifty ideas for posts and things-to-build that are clogging up my Ideas for things.txt file on my laptop and which I see little prospect of ploughing through...

But no time right now. Sorry. I swear to God that I'll get some of it done over the next forty-eight hours or so. One thing I will mention though is what I'm doing tomorrow morning - where I'll be extemporising at length about corporate weblogs on BBC Radio 4's Broadcasting House between 9am and 10am. As ever, if you find these things interesting, you can get a pretty much moment-by-moment guide to my life by subscribing to my Flickr photostream, which currently includes photos of me in a radio studio being interviewed and a stunningly realised representation of Andy Budd as exotic Spanish dancer.

please give sketch some mojo


please give sketch some mojo 02/01/2005 09:52 PM

I feel like I'm on a roller coaster right now . . .

My cat Sketch will be eleven years old in April. I've had him since he was five weeks old.

Friday night, I came home from ACME, and he was acting strangely: he was in the hallway (not on my bed where he usually is) breathing very heavily and rapidly. There was something clearly wrong with him.

Saturday morning, I took him to the vet, and she took some Xrays. They showed that his lungs were about 1/2 full of fluid, and none of the vets could figure out why. They think it may be something with his heart.

He spent the weekend at this 24 hour emergency vet, where they gave him some oxygen and some other medication, to help clear out his lungs. They took more Xrays yesterday evening, and there wasn't any significant change.

This afternoon, the vet told me that he hasn't responded to any of the medication, so tomorrow morning I'm taking him to get a cardiac ultrasound. The vet told me and Anne that he should be okay to stay with us overnight, so Anne brought him home, where he can sleep on our bed with us, and be close to his brother, Biko.

I just got back from ACME (the running joke is that I secretly live under the stage there now) and Sketch is in my bedroom with Anne.He's really struggling. He hasn't gotten worse (if he does, I will take him right back to the emergency vet), but he's not getting better, either. If the ultrasound shows that he's got some heart thing that I can't remember the name of right now, he'll get on medication right away, and it should clear out his lungs and put him back together.

But if it's inconclusive, or shows something worse, I'm not going to let him suffer because I can't say goodbye. I hope I don't have to make that decision, and I've been appealing to The Universe all day to give Sketch a natural 20 on his saving throw. Please?

He's such a tough little guy, I never thought that he would get sick like this, and so suddenly. Biko is the runt of their litter, and Felix has been in and out of the vet so many times, they're naming a boat after him . . . but I love Sketch so much, I don't want him to go. It would mean a lot to me if anyone who reads this would take a moment and send Sketch some kitty mojo, especially to his heart and lungs.

You can call him "Tubby," or "Fatty," or "Fat Boy," or "Chunk," too, because he responds to all those names. He's my tubby little guy.

Thanks.

It seems like there are a lot of stories about "search" these days, but most of the focus seems to be on searching based on keywords - even when looking for images. What if you want to sketch the object you're trying to find and have the search engine understand that and locate the object you (probably badly) drew? It seems that that's exactly what some researchers are working on. I haven't had much luck getting the working search engine to find me anything, but the idea seems like it could be useful for someone who has a steadier hand than I do (actually, it appears the server might be down right now).

Poser 6
03/22/2005 06:32 PM
Curious Labs Inc. on Tuesday announced that it is now shipping Poser 6, the latest version of its 3D tool for creating realistic human figures. New features in this upgrade include a revamped user interface, OpenGL hardware acceleration, cartoon outline rendering effects, better support for Flash with user-defined export colors for the Web and more. Poser 6 also offers two new lighting tools: ambient occlusion, which creates photorealistic soft shadows, and image-based lighting, which uses a photograph or an image map to light 3D scenes and make them appear as if they're part of a real-world environment.

Tool to Crack Cisco LEAP Released


Tool to Crack Cisco LEAP Released 04/09/2004 03:57 PM
Automated LEAP attack tool available: A network engineer last year reported a major hole in Lightweight EAP, Cisco's previously preferred method of authentication a user across a wireless network to gain access to a network. He held off on releasing an automated tool until now, IDG News Service reports. Asleap finds LEAP-protected networks, forces users off their connections (deauthenticates them) to force a new authentication, grabs that transaction, and starts a massive dictionary attack on the password. Cisco's replacement for LEAP, EAP-FAST, will stop dictionary-based cracking from working, Cisco says, but the products aren't yet available. Deauthentication is an important part of the wireless cracker's arsenal because it forces a new authentication right when the cracker is watching. This reduces waiting time, and allows a cracker to monitor traffic for under a minute in some cases. (Deassociation forces a client off a Wi-Fi network, and can be used to force re-authentication or for denial of service attacks -- or, as Airespace uses it, to deny connections to rogue access points.) Cisco issued an unrelated security warning yesterday about its access point management tool, WLSE: The software apparently had a hardcoded username and password built in that provides full access to the unit. The patch disables or removes that back-door account. The WLSE can manage the configuration of hundreds of Cisco APs centrally....

New Bluetooth Crack


New Bluetooth Crack 06/05/2005 11:47 PM

Happy Friday:

Cryptographers have discovered a way to hack Bluetooth-enabled devices even when security features are switched on. The discovery may make it even easier for hackers to eavesdrop on conversations and charge their own calls to someone else's cellphone.

"Our attack makes it possible to crack every communication between two Bluetooth devices, and not only if it is the first communication between those devices," says Shaked.

Check out the time required to pull this off:

They show that once an attacker has forced two devices to pair, they can work out the link key in just 0.06 seconds on a Pentium IV-enabled computer, and 0.3 seconds on a Pentium-III. "This is not just a theoretical break, it's practical," says Schneier.

FeedDemon Crack


FeedDemon Crack 06/18/2004 09:27 AM

Dave Winer and Evan Williams commented that the people who shout the loudest are often the ones who have no basis for their anger. I'm reminded of this fact by an email I received this morning. Here's a quote:

"Fix your piece of s--- program! I upgraded to FeedDemon 1.10 and it crashes with 'Win32 device error.' Did you even test this s---?"

I've actually received a number of emails (and one forum post) about this bug, but I have no plans to fix it. Why? Because the error message only appears if you upgrade a cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0. This is a deliberate error message that FeedDemon 1.10 displays when it detects that you upgraded from a specific cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0.

That's right, people who use a pirated version of FeedDemon are emailing me for support. It never ceases to amaze me when people not only steal from me, but also expect me to spend my time answering their questions. And more often than not, the email I've received about this problem reads like something a drunk teenager would write.

I've written about piracy befor e and I'm not planning to start another lengthy rant. But I do have a request for those who have justified their use of cracked versions of my work: don't ask for support. I support my family with sales of my software, and my life is affected - dramatically - by the existence of cracks. Please, if you're using a pirated version of my software, don't expect me to help you.

Nope, they encourage the police, even calling them ("she told dispatchers that when she called home to check on her son, it sounded like a party was going on").

Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ?


Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ? 03/11/2003 01:22 AM
Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ? Now I know that the Slashdot audience isn't all that reliable at best. Yes we all read it but we rarely trust it. Still I'd expect a little better than this: The Object Prevalence concept, developed by the Prevayler team, and implemented in Java, C#, Smalltalk, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby and Delphi, can be a great a solution to this mess. The concept is pretty simple: keep all the objects in RAM and serialize the commands that change those objects, optionally saving the whole system to disk every now and then (late at night, for example). [_Go_] Now that's a cool concept. So I did the natural thing and went and looked for the code. Since I'm a php-head, I figured that I'd look there to start. Nope! According to SourceForge, "This project has not released any files". Well I can get by in Perl so I thought "Ok, not my preference but ok". Nope. Well I think Python is neat and people I respect a lot like it. Additionally Guido has just plain guts to make the decision he did regarding mandatory indentation. Break conventions is hard so I figured I'd look at the Python version. Nope! Well once upon a midnight dreary, ... (bag the mock Poe), I did a lot of Pascal. Nope! It turns out that only the C# and Ruby versions exist. I couldn't get the Smalltalk page to come up so I don't have a clue there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything about the concept but just pointing out that this posting is essentially wrong on many of the major details. And, sadly, it doesn't really surprise me at all.

They can't play their classical Fado guitars very well; they have a punky drummer and the Fado singer not only smiles pouts and shakes her hips, but actually seems to enjoy herself! What's become of this country? Are they mad? Reckless, certainly. They call themselves A Naifa and what they've done is taken a massive, ice-crunching Waring Pro blender to all the sacred potions, fruits and flavours of Portuguese traditional music and poured out a vulgar, shameless, disrespectful and utterly delicious shambles of a Pop cocktail. Heresy in old Lisbon? I nearly choked on my 30-year-old aguardente velha, but then realized I was dancing merrily and had already spilt most of it anyway. [Probably not fun for those unfamiliar with the Fado. QuickTime required.]
