OpenEJB 0.9.2 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=282705
The 0.9.2 release is one that the whole team is quite proud of. OpenEJB
0.9.0 marked are first release with special Tomcat embedded support.
Thanks to all the user feedback that support has just gotten better and
better. The 0.9.2 release contains a neat surprise for OpenEJB/Tomcat
users -- TOOLS! The new integration features a webapp with a setup
verifier, JNDI browser, EJB viewer, Class browser, and even an Object
invoker! You can browse the OpenEJB namespace and know right away
exactly where the ejb is and what it is called. When you find one you
like, just click it and it will open up into the EJB viewer. While
there you can check out it's home, remote and bean classes in the class
browser. The Object invoker allows you to actually create and invoke
your EJBs without writing a single line of code. OpenEJB 0.9.2 also
contains a new openejb.base variable to complement the openejb.home
variable. The openejb.base variable allows you to have several
configurations of OpenEJB all running against the same OpenEJB install.
This makes using OpenEJB in IDEs like Eclipse or NetBeans even easier.
Move the openejb_loader-0.9.2.jar into your project's lib directory,
set the openejb.base, and you'll be debugging your EJB apps
front-to-back without the need for remote debugging support or special
editor plug-ins. Thanks to all the OpenEJB users for all the great
ideas! You speak, we listen.

43 Million Americans Use P2P Software

robl writes "If the [0]NYTimes article is correct then somewhere around 1 in 6 Americans apparently are [1]unindicted felons. In the eyes of the public file swapping is as morally wrong as speeding on the NJ Turnpike. The rest of the article talks about the RIAA's carrot/stick/education approach and how they may find themselves entering into negotiations for some forms of file sharing. Also the EFF will be running ads in Rolling Stone next month asking if enthusiasts are tired of being treated like criminals." Links

[0]Ant writes "Synopsis: Opera, Mozilla & Netscape with javascript
enabled are [1]vulnerable to remote command execution. This has been
tested on Microsoft, and many many Unices. Macintosh may also be vuln.
Ironically enough, IE is unaffected." Update: 06/08 23:56 GMT by [2]H:
The problem seems to be one in the Java security model itself; but the
evidence seems to be that if you turn off JavaScript, you turn off the
vulnerability. Update: 06/09 00:56 GMT by [3]T: According to this
followup message from Mozilla security group member Daniel Veditz, the
problem is actually one that's [4]already been fixed in Mozilla 1.3,
and not a remote command execution vulnerability at all. (Thanks to
reader Jared Klett and others.)

The TT Web Site Manager 0.32
http://freshmeat.net/releases/125373/
The TT Web Site Manager is a general purpose database driven Web site management system written in PHP, featuring support for multiple database servers (MySQL is the default). It allows multiple Web sites to be built and managed entirely on the fly from dynamic content stored in a database. Pages can be assembled in any order from a library of code items which can include a mixture of static HTML, SQL, and PHP. There is no framework of templates or forms to constrain the coder, and there is no limitation on content type, meaning that almost any content can be served. This means that it can be used to quickly put together content managed Web sites without the need for the limitations imposed by a dedicated content management system.
Tickletankle 0.7
http://freshmeat.net/releases/125375/
Tickletankle is a 2 player real-time tank game with fractal terrain that can be played locally or over the Internet or a LAN. The game is based on Giovanni Tummarello's game "Fractal Fighters".
vimdrop 0.8
http://freshmeat.net/releases/125354/
vimdrop is an Applescript droplet that allows you to open up and edit files in your favorite editor by dragging them to the vimdrop icon. The dropped file will be opened in a new Terminal window with the text editor defined in the $EDITOR environment variable. A binary compiled under 10.2.6 and the Project Builder files are included in the distribution.
WPP 2.13.1.33 (Development)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/125343/
WPP is a small perl5 script that allows preprocessing of HTML files. It allows you to define "variables", which are brief abbreviations for longer constructs, and include common HTML fragments. It's useful for giving a uniform layout to different HTML pages. It can be used in cgi-bin programs for automatic generation of pages. With less HTML code inside you can make more flexible cgi-scripts.
Slashcode
Handling logging issues
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/22/0533218
I'm using cronolog for my apache logs, and I really, really like it. I'd like to be able to use it on the slash logs as well, which become large and cumbersome over time with many sites running on a server. How do you all handle your logs? What do you use for log rotation? How long do you keep logs? Is anyone using cronolog, or something like it with slash?
RSS to Story?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/21/1727241
Hi, I'm looking for a way to grab remote RDF and post them as stories. portald seems only to handle blocks. I'm aware of the elixus.org, and the RSS2Story plugin in their patch of slashcode, but I can't get the plugin installed, and it seems to be left unfinished. So is there any other way to do this?
launch of slash site "stupidsecurity.com" http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/18/2133212
Announcing the opening of StupidSecurity.com. The site is meant to be a chronicle of idiotic and deceptive "security" measures. From the "three questions" that the airlines finally stopped asking to the closing of Meigs Airport in Chicago supposedly for security reasons, we want YOUR gripes about security measures that are just plain dumb! I'd welcome submissions (the stupider the better!), comments, complaints, and praise!
MySQL 4.1+
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/16/1639224
I want to start using MySQL 4.1 to take advantage of the new Spatial extensions in MySQL to further enhance my plugin. I saw the recent story referring to using MySQL 4, but no direct mention of experience with versions 4+. Any tips or recommendations? Should I make the upgrade only on my development box, or is using 4+ okay. Any experience with 4.1, which is alpha?
Section-specific Quick Links
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/16/1540217
I'm in the process of setting up a intranet Slash 2 site for a company. With the aid of the Crow Book I've got everything installed and with the L'n'F that they want, and we are in the process of adding some initial content and getting the blocks running the way they want. However, we're having problems getting section-specific quick links blocks to work. Example: I have a section called legal, and a block called legal_qlinks which has different links to index_qlinks. index_qlinks shows up on the homepage as I expect, but nothing is displayed in the right "frame" if I click no the section title under an article. What am I doing wrong? The Crow Book (page 127) suggests that this should work.
Need help building Slash templates
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/13/1634251
I have comps for a site I want built in Slash. While I have worked with Movable Type, building Slash templates is a whole different beast. I need someone to help me convert my comps into a functioning Slash site. If you have these skills, please drop me a line with your rates and scheduling availability. You can see what the site will look like here. --Markos
Preventing duplicates from being posted
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/10/2021250
I'm getting sick of seeing duplicate posts all the time on Slashdot. I have a feature-request/enhancement that I would like to request for slashcode. It would be nice if before a moderator submits a story to check all of the URLS in that post and match it with the previous weeks/months stories for the same URL. If there is a match, throw up a warning saying that this story is a possible duplicate. This will help the moderator out too, since they wouldn't have to read every story on slashdot in the past two weeks. What do you think? Is this doable? --Min Idzelis
Vorlonspace Is Back
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/08/0415234
Announced back in October last year, Vorlonspace was launched as a Babylon 5 discussions site. In late January, the site went down and was taken off the YASS list. It is now back up and the premise has changed from Babylon 5 to a general sci-fi discussion site which has generated more interest.
Adding ispell after slash is installed
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/08/0414234
Hi, I read the (archived) thread at: http://ask.slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/03/22/1 724238&mode=thread and I have "Running Weblogs with Slash", so I know that "... Slash 2.2 has added an ispell compatibility mode. If the ispell program exists and points to an ispell binary, the Edit Story page will include a list of potentially misspelled words.)" (thanks blagger), but I don't know how exactly what to add, and into what directory,. I installed freebsd 5.0, then built and installed the slashcode port, and now I've installed ispell. I then tried adding symlinks to ispell into various directories, including /usr/local/slash/bin, and restarting my browser and the freebsd box. Nothing obvious changes. Can someone tell me exactly which file to put where to enable spell-checking? I'm running slash-2.2.6 on Freebsd 5.0. Thanks... P.S. Sorry if I misspelled anything, but...
Shouldn't Slash Be Represented at OSCOM 3? http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/02/171253
I found out that OSCOM 3, The Open Source Content Management Conference, is taking place in Cambridge, MA, from May 28-30. I was surprised to see that Slash does not appear to be represented in any way. I posted a story to CTDATA suggesting that our community try to represent itself in some fashion. If anyone wants to discuss how we can influence the organizers of this conference to include a Slash presentation, please email me at dave_aiello at ctdata.com.
