Asia tsunami 12/27/2004 02:56 AM
Xeni Jardin: India and Sri Lanka, the two nations with highest death tolls from yesterday's devastating tidal waves, are not among the group of 26 countries that comprise the International Coordination Group for the Tsunami Warning System. Had they been part of the alert system, say scientists -- lives could have been saved. Snip from NYT story:

Although waves swamped parts of the Sumatran coast and nearby islands within minutes, there would have been time to alert more distant communities if the Indian Ocean had a warning network like that in the Pacific, said Dr. Tad Murty, an expert on the region's tsunamis who is affiliated with the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg.

Within 15 minutes of the earthquake, in fact, scientists running the existing tsunami warning system for the Pacific, where such waves are far more common, sent an alert from their Honolulu hub to 26 participating countries, including Thailand and Indonesia, that destructive waves might be generated by the Sumatra tremors.

But there was no way to convey that information speedily to countries or communities an ocean away, said Dr. Laura S. L. Kong, a Commerce Department seismologist and director of the International Tsunami Information Center, an office run under the auspices of the United Nations.

Link to NYT story, and Link to USGS data on the "great earthquake" at magnitude 9.0 which occurred off the west coast of Northern Sumatra Sunday.

Just as the connection closes, your brain catches up with your fingertips. The mail server's still up -- the system you rebooted was the firewall at the site 200 miles away. The firewall on which 50 users rely. The firewall that refuses to reboot without a cold reset. What do you do?

XP SP2 Download Availability Plan

XP SP2 Download Availability Plan 08/10/2004 04:55 AM

While news sites say XP SP2 was released, the 80+MB patch won't be available to general public for download via Windows Update site for a while.  Here are some details:

·  Online Distribution

o On August 9^th, we plan to post the Network Install Package to the Microsoft.com Download Center and our main technical subscription programs (MSDN and Technet).  This SP2 package is intended for IT Professionals Developers and will not be broadly publicized.

o On August 10^th we plan to begin a low volume release of English SP2 through Automatic Update (AU).  For a few days this will be exclusively available to customers who have previously installed prerelease versions of Windows XP SP2, and then we will broaden the distribution out to all Windows XP users.

o By mid August, we plan to commence availability of SP2 to business customers who use Software Update Services (SUS).  The Windows Update service is the distribution mechanism for SUS.

o By the end of August, we anticipate full customer availability (constrained to 2.5M downloads/day world-wide) via the main Windows Update website and Automatic Update.  The exact timing and maximum number of downloads will depend upon the results of the gradual ramp up we do over the previous weeks.

2.5M per day?  That means the patch will take 30+ days to download.  Yikes!  More details are available at Jan ok's blog.

Update:

Firas points out that 2.5M actually means 2.5 million downloads per day instead of 2.5 megabytes download per day per user.  Duh.

Looks like some BitTorrent enthusiasts have setup a server just for XP SP2 at SP2Torrent.com.  I also found a direct download link into Microsoft along with a mini-review at N eowin.net.  Note that these alternate download links are provided AS IS.  It is entirely possible for hackers to intercept and inject trojans and viruses into them.  Even matching the MD5 hash at SP2Torrent.com isn't really safe because, if they can get at the torrent file itself, they can get at the webpage with the hash you are suppose to match the hash of the downloaded file with.

It would seem that Diamond Comics won't be making the Sandcrawler available throughout the world according to their latest update. If you read through to the bottom you will see that it says "Not available in Australia or Japan." Before you get hot under the collar consider that there may be other distributors in these countries that will make it available, and failing that there is still the option of going through our sponsors or even www.starwarsshop.com

AppleScript Documentation

AppleScript Documentation 10/29/2003 12:13 AM
AppleScript is Apple's native scripting technology. It enables users to directly control applications, including the Mac OS itself, by creating sets of English-like instructions, or scripts. Developers can make their applications scriptable; that is, capable of responding to Apple events. Carbon and Cocoa applications both support scripting, allowing applications to execute scripts or send individual Apple events to take advantage of features of other applications.

Topping the list of important features is the new scriptable image processing architecture called Image Events. Script Editor application has been totally re-written to become a native Mac OS X application. Menus, windows, and dialogs of these applications can now be queried and controlled via AppleScript's new Graphic User Interface scripting architecture. iCal 1.5 includes the ability to set the execution of scripts as an action for calendar events.

Simon Brown: "If you've not seen AppleScript, it's a cross between a 3rd generation language and english. There's a fairly good language guide on the Apple website, although it's no tutorial. The script editor itself works well and I particularly like the way it auto-indents when you save or compile."

Applescript vs. Cocoa

Applescript vs. Cocoa 02/07/2005 01:20 AM
"Ken Ferry mailed me about my iTunes controller, wondering what the overhead was for using Applescript in my Lisp controller. With a little experimentation I found that calling out to the shell added about 350ms to the runtime for each call, plus execution time. To refresh a page which interrogates iTunes for the current track, the current volume, and whether it was set to play on random or not would take well over a second just to call the scripts."

AppleScript Basics

AppleScript Basics 08/12/2004 01:26 PM
You use AppleScript's Script Editor application to write small programs or scripts that include specially worded statements. AppleScript statements are converted by Mac OS into Apple events--messages that can be understood by the operating system and applications. When you run a script, the script can send instructions to the operating system or applications and receive messages in return.

What is "delegation" in AppleScript?

What is "delegation" in AppleScript? 06/17/2004 12:59 PM
Delegation in AppleScript is similar to a filter. Using delegation, you can catch events which are not owned by you, then make some operations or let them flow.

AIRlok upgrade increases number of load balanced uplinks, adds multi-carrier diversity, and enables redundant high availability configurations. Lok Technology, the industry’s leading provider of Integrated Link Management appliances for Wireless Internet Service Providers, today announced immediate availability of AIRlok Link Controller. The Link Controller enables a provider to dynamically increase the number of uplink / down link connections to the Internet in order to increase the available bandwidth. It also enhances the provider’s ability to maintain service levels (SLAs) by providing alternate routing connections to multiple carriers through a single AIRlok. Prior to introducing the Link Controller, service providers had to purchase costly load balancing equipment or create multiple infrastructure stacks when adding bandwidth or implementing route diversity to their service delivery infrastructure.
