Doctors want to close on Wednesdays - it's astonishing how everyone keeps talking about how we all need to do our part to save the social system, but apparently everyone only means the others, never themselves. I've always found the Hartmann Association suspicious; they were far more concerned with securing their own interests than with the health system, but it was never shown as openly as it is right now.

Konica and Minolta merge - hmm. This could get interesting, especially if Minolta puts old know-how into the Konica Hexar RF. Plus, something could happen in the digital sector too. Let's wait and see.

OpenOffice for Mac OS X - ... but the project website already shows promising screenshots. macOSXrumors has taken a first look at the - generally eagerly awaited - OpenSource office suite. Yeah, I'm also very much looking forward to it. It's silly to have to start the X Server just for an office package. Eventually Jutta can finally do her office work on her iBook too and I won't have to hear any more stories about alternatively using her Linux computer or Apple Works. Thanks to Industrial Technology & Witchcraft for the link.

Distributed Computing to Crack Xbox Public Key [Update] - I just can't help but smile a little at that.

bzero 0.14 available - now with Unicode support (ok, UTF-8 support, but that's close enough). Hmm. Now I probably need to plan that for PyDS as well? We'll see. His approach is quite simple - convert everything to &#xxx; format, which allows you to stream the result upstream without problems. Should be able to integrate that in a few places (getFirstValue, getAllValues), then that should do it.
Speaking of PyDS: categories are now there, generally the weblog is mostly complete, but the rendering part is still a bit behind - I've added some features (specifically categories and onhome) that are still missing there. And of course I still don't have upstreaming. Which limits PyDS somewhat. Found at Second p0st.
Rich Bowen: "After putting me on hold for a lengthy period of time, apparently talking to other experts, he came back and told me that the problem was beyond their expertise to deal with. He encouraged me to read the .htaccess file tutorial on the Apache web site at apache.org. Now, for those of you who don't already know, the reason that this was so very surreal is that I wrote the .htaccess tutorial on the Apache web site."
One to bang your head on the table over. Reminds me of the Korn-Microsoft debate. Lusers. [via Workbench]

LLGPL Implementation of an XML-RPC Server and Client for OpenMCL - cool. I would have liked to see this come up a bit earlier, perhaps I would have written it together with the portable web server PyDS sooner as CLDS. Hmm. Sounds like a project I might still tackle.

"Monster of Aramberri": First Bones in Karlsruhe - it would be nice if casts of the bones were assembled into a skeleton and exhibited in Karlsruhe (or elsewhere in Germany). Such a 50-ton monster would certainly be impressive to see.

X11 for Mac OS X by Apple. Rootless, directly integrated and supposed to use Quartz. Hmm. The question is, does it already run on 10.1.5, or only from 10.2 onwards? Could be interesting, XDarwin is painfully slow and despite Oroborsx not really integrated. And occasionally I do need an X-Server after all, especially when I tunnel to my servers at the office.
First installation attempt failed anyway, the updater starts, but it won't unpack the file. Nothing, nada. No response. Strange. Maybe someone with 10.2 could test that?
