PCGen 5.3.9 is available
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=311454
PCGen is a Java-based RPG character generator and maintenance program
that works on all platforms (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, etc). All
datafiles are ASCII so they can be modified by users, and are available
through the pcgendm project. An XML conversion is underway. Mac OS X
users - if you quit PCGen using close or quit, your preferences will
not be saved. The preference files are only saved if you use the
File->Exit menu item to exit PCGen. This is a java issue (our thanks to
Conor for finding the reason for this long-standing issue!) The pdf
library that we use to generate the way cool pdf character sheets
changed in version 5.3.3. If you've updated beyond version 5.3.3 and
want to use the pdf character sheets and you haven't downloaded the new
pdf library yet, it can be found at:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pcgen/pdf_new.zip?download unzip the
above library into your pcgen's lib folder. Data for the core 3.5e
books is being actively developed on our yahoo site. It should soon be
ready for inclusion in a beta release. After that release we will move
PCGen to be based upon java 1.4, which means that releases after that
will require users to download java 1.4. We've been encouraging users
to install java 1.4 since it runs faster than java 1.3. Those on Mac OS
9, Mac OS X (10 - 10.1) will need to upgrade to Mac OS X (10.2 or
higher) in order for their machine to handle java 1.4. For users who
have trouble getting the 3 zip files to unzip properly, we have some
OS-specific installs that should help minimize the chance of install
related errors. Links to these installs can be found at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen/files/Alternate%20PCGen%20Releases/
These are the same PCGen everyone else uses, just packaged with
installers which target Windows and Mac OS X users specifically.
Typically there is a lag between when the official release is done and
when these special installers are ready. We always recommend that users
install new versions of PCGen in a 'new' directory. Below is a list of
everything that has been addressed in this release. If you reported one
of these, please verify that it is was addressed properly. PCGen is
available at http://pcgen.sourceforge.net , and the main discussion
group is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen . If you wish to
discuss making your own custom lst files for use with PCGen, the data
monkeys have made their home at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgenlistfilehelp and they pride
themselves in being able to field all questions about the data - from
very basic to very advanced. All three zips are required to run PCGen:
pcgen539_part1of3.zip, pcgen539_part2of3.zip and pcgen539_part3of3.zip.

JiNN is a very useful tool for webdevelopers who need to setup a CMS for their frontend website product. Developers able to setup a nice idiot-proof interface for a complex database design within minutes. Even complex field relations are a peace of cake. JiNN support field-plugins for table fields. This way HTML-form-fields can be specially formatted or the inserted data can be filtered, validated or processed before its stored in the database. Some plugins are: Image Upload and Resize plugin, Attachment Upload plugin, WYSIWYG-plugin, date-plugin, boolian yes/no plugin, selectbox plugin, etc ... Currently it's only tested with MySQL but because it uses the phpGW-API database calls it may work with PostgreSQL from out of the box" JINN is currently available in CVS and will be included in the next full release.

Red Hat Posts Its Best Quarter Yet
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/19/0319257
wrinkledshirt writes "Anybody remember the days when the naysayers said you couldn't build a viable business model centered around open-source software? [0]After Red Hat's 2nd quarter report, well, insert(&mouth, FOOT); is all I have to say. Okay, okay, the hubris of a Linux zealot aside, the numbers look pretty good. Revenue for the quarter was $28 million, with net income at $3 million. You'd think SCO's blathering would have damaged them, but they're actually up the last couple of quarters after posting some net losses in previous quarters." Kudos to Red Hat. They must be doing something right. Links

VeriSign Sued Over SiteFinder Service
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/19/039214
dmehus writes "It was only a matter of time, the pundits said, and they
were right. [0]Popular Enterprises, LLC., an Orlando, Florida based
cybersquatting so-called 'search services' company, has [1]filed a
lawsuit in Orlando federal court against VeriSign, Inc. over VeriSign's
controversial SiteFinder 'service.' While PopularEnterprises has had a
dodgy history of buying up thousands of expired domain names and
redirecting them to its [2]Netster.com commercial "search services"
site, the lawsuit is most likely a good thing, as it provides one more
avenue to pursue in getting VeriSign to terminate [3]SiteFinder.
According to the lawsuit, the company contends alleges antitrust
violations, unfair competition and violations of the Deceptive and
Unfair Trade Practices Act. It asks the court to order VeriSign to put
a halt to the service. VeriSign spokesperson Brian O'Shaughnessy said
the company has not yet seen the lawsuit and that it doesn't comment on
pending litigation."

Monty Python's Holy Grail goes Broadway

The goal is 2005, and the working title is Spamelot (and not Spamalot, contrary to what an [6]AP wire claims). And as a bonus to all you North-American Python fans, Eric Idle is soon to be [7]touring in Canada and the US." Links

[0]=m8s=Dark Underlord writes "I was browsing for wireless stuff and
came across this link that shows [1]how to use an old satellite dish as
an 802.11 antenna." The directions tout the range as being 10 miles
given line of sight. We've had other stories about [2]building
antennas, but I think these are cooler because of their focused nature,
but a Primestar dish is a little tougher to locate than a Pringles can
or a floppy disk.

About time someone spoke up and said '1000 MB != 1 GB'" It's not much of a mystery to anyone who's up on industry practices, but it's similar to the way graphic displays are sized, cereal boxes are filled, and so on.
