NetNewsWire 1.0 has been released. Congrats on the smooth delivery, Brent.

Linux Developers: Robertson's Lindows is a Piece of Crap.

We've ordered a 433MHz G4 iMac Upgrade for Vicki's machine.

I've upgraded SpamAssassin to version 2.4.1 using the new source RPM. Here are the steps I used under Red Hat 7.3:

    wget http://www.kluge.net/ftp/pub/felicity/SRPMS/spamassassin-2.41-1.src.rpm
    rpm -ivh spamassassin-2.41-1.src.rpm
    cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
    rpm -ba -vv --target i686 spamassassin.spec

Once completed the RPMS will be located in

/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686.

To install a new RPM:

    rpm -ivh <filename>.rpm

To upgrade/freshen an existing RPM:

    rpm -Fvh <filename>.rpm

According to the New York Times, Spam is estimated to count for 32% of all email sent. That's roughly two billion pieces of junk sent on a daily basis.

Ellison resigns from Apple board. Interesting.

Resin: The Instant Application Server. We like Resin for your production servers.

Major Hole in RIAA Exposed. Clueless!

The Macintosh Business Expo will be held in Seattle on October 3. Vicki and I went a couple years ago. I just registered us and made reservation for dinner at Anthony's.

Erin Clerico: "I have and do admit that I was wrong, hasty, a moron, a bully, a low life, a Nazi and all of the other unkind things that the blogging community has said about me and my actions. I'm human, I made a mistake, I admit it and quickly rectified it."

Installing Sun ONE Studio (NetBeans/Forte) under OS X.

Axis Applet. Cool!

Mac OS X 10.2.1 and iTunes 3.0.1 have been released.

RefactorIT has been optimized for OS X.

MacCVSClient 1.7 available for OS X. I'll have to give it a try. I use MacCvs 3.1 but it hasn't been updated in a long while.

Find your old BBS Mates. That's me and my old board.

Genealogists say Di, Churchill, Bush are related. Scary!

NetNewsWire Lite 1.0fc2. Brent is burning the midnite oil.

Russell's rss feed is broken, and his email address is bouncing. I guess he's incommunicado.

Dave still has monsters under his bed, and his heart is broken. Boo woo.

M$ reveals critical Java flaws. Déjà vu all over again.

Logo might identify copy-protected CDs. Piffle. I really like Bon Jovi's approach though.

My partner is selling his old PowerBook on eBay.

Jason issued a Call to Arms, and Mike is already offering a news aggregator prototype. Count me in too. I don't know much about WebWork, but I'm a quick study.

SuSE Drops StarOffice.

Borland sweetens Java Café switch.

Jeff found the Computer Stupidities Programming site. Mike, the J2EE humour thread.

Mac OS X 10.1.1 Update sneak peek. I don't see anything relating to the original iMac screen geometry bug. Bummer.

The RSS 2.0 debate degenerates. This is becoming completely ridiculous.

People have to understand one thing: RSS 2.0 is not an open standard. It just masquerades as one. The underlaying purpose is to promote UserLand's products.

Everything become a lot clearer when you keep that in mind.

Red Hat 8.0 to launch this month.

G4 Upgrade for older iMacs. We're seriously considering getting one for Vicki's computer. At $299 it really sounds like a good deal.

Kelly's first single, Before Your Love, goes on sale today.

Just received the replacement SuperDisk I bought on eBay. A bad floppy killed the old one a few weeks ago. The metal slider got stuck in the drive and damaged it beyond repair.

ONJava.com 2.0 debuts. The Java API map is pretty nifty.

David reviews Eclipse. He seems to like it.

Henri has put together a list of online JUGs.

JCavaj, a java decompiler based on JODE. I often use their Cavaj which is based on Jad.

J2SE 1.4.1 FCS is now available!

I have a life expectancy of 76.1. Which leaves me with around 5548.5 blog posts left to write. Apparently I will likely die in the middle of a post…

My grandmother's twin sister died yesterday. She was 89 years old. My grandma called late last night to give me the news. She sounded pretty down, but said she felt better after talking to me.

IBM pressures Sun to free Java.

Porn outfit bids for Napster.

Lasso 3.x goes bye-bye. Sniff. Lots of blood, sweat and tears went into the original release. Turning a Mac-only product into a viable cross-platform middleware was an interesting experience.

The First Smiley :-)

I've implemented a calendar for the news page. I used jTalk and a slightly modified version of the Coldbeans Calendar tag library.

It's definitely not as elegant as Mike's <webwork:calendar/> design sketch, but then again it only took less than 30 minutes to implement, test and deploy. KISS.

I've also upgraded the server to Tomcat 4.1.10 which seems to provide a significant performance boost. The install wasn't as painless as it could have been. The RPM replaced my server.xml configuration file and forgot to tell me about it.

Fresh. Sexy. Clean. Whatever she's selling, I'm buying.

I just found out I'm a dumbfuck. Why don't they tell me these things? I'm always the last one to find out.
