The freshmeat.net: Aranha server monitor sounds exactly like what I programmed under Servermonitoring. However, I don't use XML-RPC, but SOAP. And I didn't provide it with a XUL interface, but a web interface. And I don't use Perl, but Python. Strange.
Mine has been running in the company for ages and faithfully performs its duty in monitoring our server zoo.
blo.gs: for sale - oops. The operator of blo.gs wants to sell his entire system (domains, software, database).
Seen at Lummaland: BlogFox: everything just stolen - about a search engine that simply sucks up content from blogg.de and bags it. Not exactly the fine English way ...
Court confirms liability of Admin-C - which should now be quite bad for the legal advisor, as he is registered as Admin-C for many dialer domains and was somehow involved in that strange warez story ...
For providers, this should now be the last incentive to only enter the domain owner as Admin-C - otherwise things can go terribly wrong.
Jutta just told me this: according to photoscala, Kycera Hamburg has issued termination notices to all employees. There have been rumors about Kyocera's exit from the photo sector for several weeks now. It would be a real shame if the name Contax disappeared from the camera world - I still associate Contax with high-quality equipment with a little extra something special.
For owners of a Contax N1, this is of course particularly bitter: the N-System was only introduced a few years ago and is by no means fully developed - and with the high-tech monsters, service is no longer affordable at every field-forest-and-meadow service center. Even with my RTS III and the vacuum pressure plate, it's difficult to get service if there are any problems with the camera.
Microsoft relies on marketing for «Longhorn» - and stamps it as vaporware and a marketing show even before its existence
PIXELPOST - Small Photoblog Software - looks quite nice, as do the demos. Fun is the small strip calendar in the demo - I think I'll do something like that for WordPress, it takes up significantly less space in the sidebar than the classic calendar. For someone who just wants to photoblog, PixelPost looks quite nice.
I didn't know that the SmartEiffel The GNU Eiffel Compiler now also compiles to Java bytecode. Maybe you could use it on the Mac together with the Java-ObjC bridge to write programs there and play with Eiffel again.
