Counter Computer

By barneyb on September 15, 2004

Amid the rush to get my presentation for the FB conference finished, I also started working on building me a little computer for the bar at our house. I'm planning to mount it inside a dead corner in the cabinets, and hang a monitor from the overhead cupboards, mounted with a super-slick fold-up hinge [...]

Fusebox Conference

By barneyb on August 12, 2004

The annual FuseBox Conference is coming up September 18 & 19. Once again, I will be attending. I'd hoped to go to CFUN as well, but that didn't work out. Should be an informative and enjoyable couple days, including the release of FB4.1, and the announcement of Team Fusebox (whatever that is [...]

New PasswordSafe Coming

By barneyb on August 9, 2004

I got an email from a user of PasswordSafe this morning saying that he'd made some very nice improvements to the project, and wanted to contribute them back to the code. A new encryption algorithm, some enhancements to the UI (tooltips and shortcut keys), a new icon set, and the ability to print out [...]

Enhanced SETI@Home Stats

By barneyb on June 27, 2004

Long ago, on some lonely night, I wrote up a little display engine for showing the status of the various machines I control that run SETI@Home in a single place. Nothing fancy, but it worked. I took some time this evening to make the needed data files from all my machines available via [...]

Taking over DNS

By barneyb on June 21, 2004

Once again, I'm attempting to become my own authoritative domain host. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly this time, now that the proper IPs are already floating around.

JFission 0.2rc2

By barneyb on June 9, 2004

JFission 0.2rc2 is out, and available for download. RC1 was intended to be the final form, minus any bug fixes, of the 0.2 release, but after testing and using RC1, two things became apparent:

jf:loop needed to be a full-fledged replacement for c:forEach
grouped query output is a really nice feature, even if it's not used a [...]

Architecture Update

By barneyb on June 9, 2004

I mentioned in a post a while back that I'd switched from mod_rewrite/mod_proxy for connecting Apache with Tomcat, and I finally got around to updating the Site Architecture document to reflect those changes, so once again, it is an actual reflection of reality.

JFission 0.2rc1

By barneyb on May 27, 2004

The 0.2 release of JFission is imminent. A release candidate has been made available on the download page, and it will probably be renamed directly into the official 0.2 release. The online documentation and examples has been updated to reflect the changes and additions.

More Changes

By barneyb on May 24, 2004

Well, I'm about to start the switch from connecting Apache and Tomcat with mod_rewrite to using mod_jk, which should yield much greater performance, as well has handle redirects properly (which mod_rewrite doesn't seem to, even with following the manual word for word). I'm also taking over mail and DNS hosting for all the domains [...]

Mail and DNS

By barneyb on May 12, 2004

I finally got a mail server (SMTP and POP) running on here, using a really nice "toaster" from Bill Shupp. The Courier (IMAP server) doesn't seem to work, but I know little about IMAP, and I didn't plan on using it, so I didn't spend much time troubleshooting.
I can now officially be reached at [...]
