A glitch in Microsoft's Windows Update automated patching service caused a security fix that was released last month to be delivered to computer users on Tuesday, the same day Microsoft proclaimed December would be a patch-free month. The software patch fixes a serious vulnerability in a set of Web site management tools called FrontPage Server Extensions, which are part of Microsoft's Windows 2000, Windows XP and Office XP software, according to Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-051 released Nov. 11. Exploiting the flaw could allow an attacker to gain control over a user's PC, Microsoft said.

Upgrade to gcc 3.3 and/or 10.3

Upgrade to gcc 3.3 and/or 10.3 10/28/2003 11:07 PM
It is now possible to upgrade Fink to take full advantage of the gcc 3.3 compiler, or to use OS X 10.3 if you have that installed. Binary packages corresponding to these upgrades are not yet available, so if you make extensive use of binary packages you may wish to wait a few days before upgrading. If you wish to perform this upgrade, and you had previously installed the June 2003 Developer Tools update from Apple, you will need to install the August 2003 Developer Tools update BEFORE you upgrade Fink. Under 10.3, be sure to install XCode from the XCode disk before upgrading Fink. Running "fink selfupdate" should perform the upgrade for you. The latest version of the fink package manager will automatically detect which version of OS X and which version of gcc you have installed, and will adjust itself accordingly. If you wish to do a fresh install of Fink on a 10.3 system, we recommend bootstrapping from source, starting from fink-full-0.6.0.tar.gz available on fink's sourceforge download page. You'll need XCode for this as well. Also note that once you have Fink version 0.15.0 or higher, you do not need to install system-xfree86 anymore. Fink is capable of automatically determining your system-xfree86 version if you don't already have any fink x11 packages installed. If you currently have an old system-xfree86 package of any kind installed, please run the following: sudo dpkg -r --force-all system-xfree86 system-xfree86-42 \ system-xfree86-43; fink selfupdate; fink index The Fink team is still working on getting Fink packages working under 10.3, but many many packages already work.

More on the Typekey upgrade... 05/16/2004 12:18 PM

So my installation of Movable Type has never been the simplest of things. I've had to use cgiwrap to avoid some of the more arcane problems with pair's process throttling and I've got MT installed in a completely different directory and domain to my site. For someone with as little overt server knowledge as myself, this means that every time something's supposed to be a simple installation or adaptation process, everything goes completely wrong. This is all by way of me saying that I've still got lots of problems around the place with integrating the Typekey registration system, including but not limited to it randomly not working, having lots of really nasty preview screens that remain totally untemplated and generally feeling more than a little rough around the edges. I'll endeavour to get it all sorted out this evening so that the Monday morning crowd don't start snarking out at me... Plus: Lots of actually interesting posts on real subjects to come soon!

MT 3.1 Upgrade Report

MT 3.1 Upgrade Report 08/31/2004 10:28 PM

Well, I went ahead and upgraded to Movable Type 3.1 with the free version I got from joining the MT Professionals Network (still trying to find a catch...).

Note that if you're considering a 3.1 upgrade, wait — there are errors in the upgrade scripts that Six Apart is working to fix right now. I had to make one code change and forge ahead while ignoring another error in order to get the upgrade to work. It doesn't help that I've hacked this install up pretty badly.

I haven't really tested any new functionality yet. It doesn't seem any faster, which is disappointing, but the new interface is much, much cleaner and the stylesheet has been made more...hackable. Selectors are grouped by template so you can pretty easily find the rule you want to change (TEXTAREA font is pretty large by default...).

One great improvement: the little bold, italic, underline, and link buttons in the editing interface work in non-IE browsers...finally! That alone is worth the upgrade.

The venerable bookmarklet feature has been changed to "Quickpost" (probably avoid conflicting with the JavaScript hacks that people call "bookmarklets"), but it appears to be screwed at the moment — formatting is all off and the TEXTAREA is about 10-pixels wide.

So, while this upgrade looks promising, hang loose for a week or so before rushing in. There are some speedbumps to work out yet. I'll post about the new functionality as I play with it.

More Reasons Not To Upgrade

More Reasons Not To Upgrade 08/12/2004 10:26 PM
One common wisdom in the Macintosh land is to never install updates from Apple immediately. Wait a while, and let all the other beta testers upgrade and report their successs or failture before you do so. Who knows, maybe Apple will even pull the update so that they can work on it somemore before you update?
But now, there is another reason why you shouldn't update so quickly: find out if the latest and greatest Apple patch will disable your beloved hack -- whether it is to play Windows Media files through your AirPort Express, or copy your RealNetwork files to your iPod.
Sometimes, the computer industry can make one sad.

Upgrade to Firefox 0.9.3

Upgrade to Firefox 0.9.3 08/10/2004 04:56 AM

If you are using Firefox (or Mozilla), you should definitely upgrade to version 0.9.3 now because there are three critical bugs as well as the libpng bug in previous versions.  Increasing popularity of Firefox means more vulnerabilities like this will surface.

While I think Firefox marketshare is moving up nicely, I don't think it will reach nor surpass 20% by end of this year.  If you read my prediction carefully, I wrote that Firefox marketshare will be *near* 20%.  Heh.

An upgrade to the RSS parser

An upgrade to the RSS parser 11/18/2002 12:58 PM
A while back I read on Dive Into Mark a rant about the sheer volume of traffic people hitting off of his RSS feed were causing. At the time I was developing my RSS reader that is in use now at this site. It's completely written by me, and I'm happy with it. It extracts all of the descriptions, links, and titles out of RSS feeds in any version (atleast I haven't experienced otherwise in my browsing) and returns them in an associative array. Also, it caches the RSS files in serialized format so that it doesn't have to repeatedly hit the servers the RSS files reside on, and subsequent requests do not require reparsing. Instead, it only requests the file if the cached file was written more than an hour and a half ago. But, my RSS parser still did not meet the need described in the above linked Dive into Mark article. Basically, Mark (and others) only want their RSS feeds being requested if they have been modified recently. "Recently" is defined by Mark as 3 hours, which is reasonable. I didn't know how to do this with my RSS parser, so I did some research. I found some information on various sites about doing conditional GET statements with PHP, and now my parser will only fetch the file off the remote server if it has been modified within the last three hours. I am now using this new version of my parser. The parser is not perfect, but I really like it. To view the source of it, click here. An article will follow soon.
