In my eternal quest to create more infrastructure and less content, I added a new server.  I've been wanting to try out Mac OS X Server for quite awhile, but it's expensive.  So is the hardware.  So when Apple came out with a Mac Mini with Server installed, I jumped on it.  The server is set up now, and I have most of the things working on it.  It'll take a little while to adapt everything to MySQL (or install PostgreSQL on the Mini), and I decided against the whole Firewall/VPN/NAT/DHCP combo right now (it really needs at least 2 ethernet interfaces, maybe 3, and WiFi doesn't cut it).  It could turn out to be a really handy box for a wide variety of applications.  It comes with wiki and blog​ software for intranets, although predictably I have no content on those yet.  I also tried out iWeb for the Home Page.

Tuesday, 14 April 2009 13:31:00
 Version 2.3 of the application is running now.  I've added some more Ext Javascript to the pages, including an admin app, an image gallery and this cool HTML editor in the edit page, so I can add a splash of color to my blog posts.  I also updated some parts of the Query/Search windows, specifically the keyword selection box.  I still need to add the "All" and "None" keywords.  Progress is being made.

Things still left to do:
...and anything else I can think of.

Monday, 23 March 2009 16:37:00

This is a work in progress. I just added the Ext JavaScript library, and wrote a function which takes the regular home page and goes through the DOM tree and puts a bunch of stuff into cute little collapsible boxes. I'll be doing more using DWR AJAX and Ext in other areas of the site as time goes on.

Update: Got the admin screen done (but you can't see that so you'll have to trust me).

Tor-ramdisk is a uClibc-based micro Linux distribution whose only purpose is to host a Tor server in an environment that maximizes security and privacy. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. Security is enhanced in tor-ramdisk by employing a monolithically compiled GRSEC/PAX patched kernel and hardened system tools. Privacy is enhanced by turning off logging at all levels so that even the Tor operator only has access to minimal information. Finally, since everything runs in ephemeral memory, no information survives a reboot, except for the Tor configuration file and the private RSA key, which may be exported/imported by FTP.

Changes: Tor was updated to 0.2.1.24 and busybox to 1.15.3. The build scripts now allow the option of creating images with a fully featured busybox for debugging and a minimally configured busybox for production.

Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. It also enables software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy features. It provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without compromising their privacy. Individuals can use it to keep remote Websites from tracking them and their family members. They can also use it to connect to resources such as news sites or instant messaging services that are blocked by their local Internet service providers (ISPs).

Changes: This release makes Tor work again on the latest version of Mac OS X, and updates the location of a directory authority. It also fixes a regression introduced in 0.2.2.9-alpha that could prevent relays from guessing their IP address correctly. It also starts the groundwork for another client-side performance boost, since relays that have both the Guard flag and the Exit flag are not being used efficiently.

BOUML is a UML 2 tool box that allows you to specify and generate code in C++, Java, IDL, and PHP. BOUML is very fast and doesn't require much memory to manage several thousands of classes. BOUML is extensible, and the external tools (named plug-outs) can be written in C++ or Java, using BOUML for their definition as any other program. UML models can be exported to HTML pages, including PNG or SVG graphics.

Changes: The message written to signal a message can't be added in a sequence diagram contained incorrect characters; this has been fixed. This release adds lost/found messages in the sequence diagram. It adds an interface icon using a simple circle, and extends the drawing mode with it for classes in a class diagram, instances in a sequence diagram, and actors in a use case diagram. To not change the already existing diagrams, when you open an old diagram showing a classes stereotyped interface or instances of a classes stereotyped interface, their drawing mode is forced to class when it values natural (even indirectly).

SQL Power Architect is a data modeling tool with additional features geared specifically for data warehouse and data mart design. It allows the designer to open multiple concurrent source database connections, create and explore profiles of the source data, discover differences between two schemas (even if they're on different database platforms), drag and drop source schemas, tables, and columns into the data modeling playpen, and forward engineer the resultant target database and its associated ETL template.

Changes: This release updates the SQL Server driver. Users can now connect to SQL Server 2008 (requires Java 6 and up). It also has improved saving. Users will now be warned if they are about to save over a file with a different version. Additionally, users will be warned if they are trying to open a file that has been saved with a newer version. With the updates, the Copy Table Data panel was fixed. Users can expand and navigate the data sources in this window again.

Deep transforms the older Ming Server and Ming BlogServer (which are written in Python and still available on pypi) into a faster implementation in C and Lua. The code itself is 61% smaller and up to 400% faster. Deep delivers everything HTML can deliver, handles forms and file creation securely, and adds the CGI capability of Lua.

Changes: Incoming data handling has been made more efficient. Unnecessary data has been excluded from serialization. USER CONSTS in deep.lua has been expanded so that no one should have to dig around in the Lua files. Text and bgcolor on server-generated pages can now be set in deep.lua. TestDeep has been further improved and expanded.

Campsite is a multilingual content management system (CMS) for news Web sites. Campsite's user interface was built with the end user (journalist, editor, publisher) in mind, and it can be configured to suit different profiles of end users. Campsite follows the print-newspaper publishing paradigm, so it structures sites by default as Publications > Issues > Sections > Articles. Campsite works best for medium-to-large-size online news publications (newspapers in particular), but it is capable of handling nimbler sites too.

Changes: A new template package was added. Google Maps and other iframes can be inserted within article text. Multilingual search in the article search results list was improved. Template management was improved on a global (issue) level. Logging of IP addresses for comments was enhanced. Many other bugfixes and enhancements were made.
