Leapfish Launches Another Meta Search Engine No One Will Ever Use
Last I heard about Leapfish (this was a couple of years ago), they ran a useless but fun tool that provided you with a free appraisal for your domain name based on a variety of ratings and criteria. Now they’re back with an equally useless tool, this time without the fun part. The company just revamped itself under the ownership of California-based DotNext, morphing into what they refer to as a “multi-dimensional information aggregator,” which is actually nothing more than yet

Strings
FORTRAN was a programming language for crunching numbers. It provided limited textual support, primarily for the labeling of output. It did this with Hollerith constants. Hollerith constants were named for Herman Hollerith, who adapted the punched card for data processing. To make a Hollerith constant, enter the number of characters, then the letter H, and then the characters. 13HHELLO, WORLD! ALGOL 60 had better textual support, adding a structure called a string which was a s

More on ProxyPass in Apache/Windows
I thought I had it yesterday, but there was a case I didn't test, and it didn't work, so there's still some more work to do. What I want: 1. http://apache.twitterland.org/ should be served from the static Apache folder, which is in its virgin state with the "It Works!" page. And it does work. 2. The npr sub-folder should be served by the OPML Editor, and it is. 3. http://test5.twitterland.org/ should also be served by the OPML Editor, but it is not. Instead it's serving the static Apache folder.

The Value of (Production) Rules …
Some people seem to be quite surprised to find that TIBCO BusinessEvents, classed as a Complex Event Processing product, includes a “rule engine”. Especially those that look at the CEP tools market and just see the stream-based CEP products doing continuous queries. Nonethless, there are good reasons why a production rule engine is ideal not just for business decisions, but also event filtering and correlation. First, lets classify “rules” and “production rules̶

Thinking about Theory (Warning: Interaction Design Nerdery Ahead)
In conversations and on mailing lists addressing the design of interactive media, I’ve found myself growing uneasy with just how little understanding most people practicing in the field have of how they are influenced by the various theories that undergird are standard practice. I think it can be problematic that so people are working in the context of these theories don’t understand how the theories’ assumptions are coloring their approaches. What do I mean by theory?

iSync Plug-In for Nokia 5310
I bought my wife a Nokia 5310 MusicExpress phone recently.  She had used the 6210i for a long time and wanted something that had the same ease of use but that was slim, had a radio, and allowed her to play music.  The 5310 was ideal. My wife has a Mac and as per normal the phone was not supported on iSync, the built-in Mac device syncing service.  You can add the 5310 to isync by downloading a package to provide the device with isync here

HTTPS/SSL Tunneling and Proxy Server
HTTPS Tunneling, also called HTTPS Proxy, SSL proxy, or SSL tunneling, refers to sending HTTPS content via a proxy server. This is a very common usage scenario over the web. Unfortunately, I have not found any Java server that supports this yet. Tomcat chokes up quickly if you tunnel HTTPS messages. Other Java servers don’t even come close. Jetty is the furthest and closest to supporting it. Greg Wilkins even wrote two examples showing Jetty’s proxy support (ProxyServlet and Asy

Get Your Own gTLD… for only $185,000
ICANN has opened up the process for gTLD. I’m certain that we’ll now finally see .mac and .msn. The application process looks grueling, and the application fee is expected to be a relatively staggerring $185,000, so don’t expect to see .dojo, .sitepen, or .dylan any time soon. That said, if someone wants to set up .lan, I’ll be first in line to pay for dy! For now, I’ll stick with dylan.io.
