RasterWeb!

What’s new you ask? Why, the Mozilla Foundation, that’s what… (MozillaZine has a mention of it as well.)

The Mozilla Foundation is a new non-profit organization that will serve as the home for mozilla.org. As before, mozilla.org will coordinate and encourage the development and testing of Mozilla code. The Mozilla Foundation will also promote the distribution and adoption of our flagship applications based on that code. AOL, IBM, Sun Microsystems, Red Hat, and other companies will continue to support Mozilla through the Foundation.

What this means for the Mozilla browser and our other products and technologies: more innovation from the open source developers, and a greater focus on end users.

I must admit though, I was disappointed the newly designed mozilla.org didn’t seem to validate :/

Via the jEdit Community site comes this link to a JavaWorld review of jEdit.

And remember – jEdit: It’s not just for Java…

Yahoo! buys! Overture! (Great headline, BTW.) Well, I had been using AlltheWeb as an alternative to Google. Now that AlltheWeb might somehow turn into Yahoo! what am I to do? I suppose I could try using Yahoo! or perhaps I’ll just stop searching for things altogether and concentrate on writing object oriented perl…

Oh, I heard Overture was searching for a buyer… I guess they found one! (Sorry, that was a lame joke.)

Looking to replace Windows?

How to introduce Linux into the enterprise

I suppose it takes a bit more than “Enterprise, this is Linux… Linux, meet Enterprise”

Besides, I’m not sure what OS the Starship Enterprise uses, but with the type of hackers usually associated with Starfleet you would have thought they were already using Linux…

On the subject of Authentication in RSS readers (see original post,) it’s still quite early, but deep within the labs of Rasterboy Enterprises we’ve hacked AmphetaDesk to handle various authentication flavors by making AmphetaDesk’s Mychannels.pm module use curl to download files…

Of course since this might conflict with some of the basic goals of AmphetaDesk (cross platform, self-contained) you probably won’t see this in the next version… but who knows, after a bit more hacking perhaps a patch of some sort might appear. You know, open-source and all that…

(Right now it’s still in “I wonder if I can do this” mode rather than “fully tested and ready to share” mode…)
