What bothers me about this, though: now they've caught the stupid guy who produced Sasser. Ok, he's getting what he deserves - rightly so. But who's finally going to do something about Microsoft and their criminal neglect of security? Who's going to hold the real culprit responsible - the one whose crappy software makes all these worm waves possible in the first place?

Yes! Thanks for the link. Exactly what I need. The RPN for the Palm is nice, but I'm used to better things.
Update: I've installed it now. All I can say is: Wow. With three exclamation marks. The emulator is really fast and - because it uses original ROMs - perfect. And the ability to use all three calculators independently is genius. You basically have three calculators with you.

Wow. That's quite a way to address visitors: instead of providing alternative representations that would pique the visitor's curiosity about the missing content and motivate them to install the required plugin, you're insulted for being backward. Quite a strategy. Of course, something like this could only happen on pages like those of Hamburg Medial School.

Ouch. The PowerBooks are built so flat in some cases that the key caps may press against the display in the area of the PowerBook's hinge and leave pressure marks there. The designers of this thing probably also wear pants that are too tight and shoes that are too small.

And Clement keeps spouting off that the economy would manage it on a voluntary basis. While in North Rhine-Westphalia the number of training applications is rising, but the supply of apprenticeships is dropping dramatically. And what's the result? Youth unemployment. Just great. And then the business bosses whine about the poor state of training at Germany as a business location. Lying scumbags.
Companies that don't train even though they could are deliberately destroying the future of young people out of egoism and arrogance. Young people who can't defend themselves because politicians would rather crawl up the arses of business bosses than show some backbone for those who should be our future.
That's one way to destroy the future. Completely deliberate, completely systematic and without any real economic reason.
It takes on extremely idiotic features with the Union, by the way: on the one hand they whine that the population is ageing and not enough children are coming along, on the other hand they're naturally massively against offering the existing children and young people a future. And immigration laws – which could also lead to a supply of young people, for example – they naturally want to block those too.

A.L.Digital : The Bunker : Press - More info about the Bluetooth hack
An interesting article about B&W conversion. Here, multiple layers are used to create the B&W image, with the normal color image retained in the base layer. All conversion components are designed as separate layers and can therefore be adjusted at any time later. Certainly a quite interesting technique, especially since you don't need any additional plugins.
I've had a Son since yesterday as a PDA. Very nice. MP3 player, camera, image viewer, document viewer, Bluetooth, WLAN, voice recorder, Memory Stick slot - everything you could wish for. And the battery life on this device is finally decent - not like the high-end Palms that need to be charged daily because they barely get through the day on standby... With The Missing Sync you can synchronize the device beautifully under Mac OS X and with Apple's iSync Palm Conduit you can link iCal and the Sony together via Bluetooth. Very nice. Especially since I've connected my iCal to several company calendars with a little homemade tool and can thus pull my work appointments from the Exchange server via my iCal to my Sony - and that without having to be at the office. Now I just need to figure out how to elegantly connect the Sony's camera to my blog - via GPRS of course (surfing already works, I would just need a MetaWeblogAPI client for Palm OS 5 that can also handle media). Then I could do mobile photoblogging.
Well, then Microsoft will just have to hope that the 4-6 GHz processors they're envisioning come soon. Or they could finally start learning how to program decently. New OS X releases, meanwhile, got faster rather than slower from release to release.

Looks like a nice and complete blogging software for Palm OS 5 devices. It even supports media uploads via MetaWeblogAPI - though I would first have to teach that to PyDS and Wordpress before I could use it. But oh well, I have way too few projects on my plate anyway.
And yet another blogging software. This one also looks quite usable. It could also take care of my rather neglected Livejournal. However, it cannot upload images, that would have to be done via email beforehand.

After an unintended break thanks to a disk crash on my Hetzner server, I'm back now. And looking back, I have to say that Hetzner's support went well. I only have standard support, so support is only available during the specified service hours. Both days (on Monday because of the system setup on a new disk and on Tuesday because of the server restart due to a hang) they responded immediately in the morning. When I pointed out further disk errors (or rather CRC errors), they also responded immediately and rebuilt the system - apparently their disks are usually in swap frames, which also explains how they were able to install a new disk for me so quickly.
Well, let's see how long it lasts this time. In any case, I was able to test my crash recovery and have to say it works surprisingly well. Okay, there were a few minor issues of course, but it's all manageable. Only http://muensterland.org/ suffered, as the server's database file had to be rolled back one day since the most recent file didn't work. Well, manageable problems...

Zabel overthought the tactics and Kummer started the chase race far too late. Annoying, because it was already visible earlier in the race. Well, nothing you can do about it - if they'd attacked earlier, they might have run out of breath and it wouldn't have worked anyway. One thing is clear: racing around the Henninger Tower is and remains an exciting event.
Cool. Dell keeps data from computer buyers on record. That's okay. But the fact that this data can then be retrieved unprotected over the web using the identification numbers on the device - and even for people who just guess the numbers - isn't that a bit exaggerated when it comes to helpful data protection? Can you make sense of it?

An interesting approach: take linear RAW images and create a black and white image from them, using it to gather detail and brightness information and, for example, determine sharpness. Then create a second image that adopts the color values - in this image, for example, apply noise reduction and similar mechanisms. After that, combine these two images - take the brightness (and thus the contrasts) from the black and white image and merge the color values from the black and white image. As a result, you get an image with good sharpness and good color, but fewer artifacts from the respective optimization steps (since each optimization is only applied to the elements that can handle these optimization steps without creating problems).

That's just how it is with Debian. Philosophy is important - sometimes just as important or even more important than the releases. I like it anyway - or precisely because of this? Because no other distribution really puts so much value on the ideas of Free Software - and is really consistent in what it does.
Sure, it's annoying sometimes when releases take years to come out. On the other hand, that's exactly what the Testing and Unstable distributions are for. Although as a user, I really only use Testing, or Stable on production servers.
Backports are relatively simple and allow you to update individual packages - but of course you're then responsible for the updates yourself. Sure, for pure users that's certainly not an option - they just want to install and not compile. On the other hand, you should always keep in mind that Linux is just a Unix - and being afraid of the compiler when using Unix is pretty out of place.
One thing is certain: I've played around with many distributions and also experimented more seriously. Except for Gentoo, none really impressed me, and Gentoo is too heavy for me for smaller machines and servers - I don't really want to fire up the compiler for every package when the machine's main load is for something else (server) or it's simply too small to convert some monster packages.

I've been tinkering with the templates a bit and experimenting with a neat little script. As a result, each month in my blog now gets its own title image - the old text title had to go (but it's still defined as a popup title on the image, and of course it's in the title tag). At least this way my images get looked at occasionally, even if it's just a small strip from the middle that's being used.

Jo, he's really nice, that 33er - if you look at the description, then programming-wise it's much closer to the old 41er. Ok, that's not necessarily more comfortable than RPL on the 48s and 49s, but somehow it awakens nostalgia in me. Besides, the price of 50 euros is much more reasonable. For Jutta that would be something for work, after all it can do RPN and base conversions too. However, it has an internal accuracy of 15 digits - no idea if that's enough for her work.

I've installed the current beta for Omniweb 5 again over the last few days and have been playing around with it. I have to say, I'm impressed. The annoying caching bug is gone and overall Omniweb is very responsive and quite reliable. I haven't experienced any crashes in recent days. And the highlights of the new version are really great:
Let's see how this develops further, but based on my gut feeling, I'd say OmniGroup must be pretty close to a release.
Update: As I just noticed, it even has an RSS feed reader built in. Integrated into the bookmark management and automatic updating. And it also supports RSS autodiscovery. Nice. Not really useful for me (since I use other aggregators), but nice.
