Hollywood is locked in a digital arms race -- every few weeks, it seems, a studio releases a film featuring a new breakthrough in computer-generated imagery.

That's funny. I don't see the "Marry it Now" button on eBay.

Continuing the thread from yesterday. I got absolutely nowhere, some people suggested I use a smart playlist, missing the point that I'm a developer working on a podcatcher, not a user trying to use iTunes as a podcatcher. I'm sure it's an excellent way to subscribe to podcasts, but I have my own ideas how podcatchers should work, and I want to integrate them with other stuff I'm working on. Integrating with iTunes is proving to be quite a challenge, or maybe it's an art, we'll see.  As usual Mac users are superior sumbitches.  (Quoting the James Brolin character the first time we meet him in the third season finale of The West Wing.) Anyway, the search continues, I tried another more direct tack, and looked for glue for iTunes for UserLand, and bingo, there's a match, from 2001, a well-known Frontier programmer Sean Elfstrom, apparently converted glue for the Sonic SoundJam app that iTunes used to be, before Apple acquired it.  I installed the glue in the OPML Editor. It's daunting, for sure, but let's see what I can get working.

Gareth Heyes has posted another challenge to his blog - this time it involves using a regular expression to convert the inputted string into the output he's given.   After the success of my "a bit of fun" challenge, a few people asked for some more challenges. So I was answering a question on a mailing list that I'm a member of and I thought it would be a good topic for a little challenge and help sharpen everyone's regular expression skills.   This time, his challenge involves taking the input, rail start/end locations from an array and, via the PHP script given (no regular expression in it, of course) make the output, a sort of JSON formatted message. It's already been answered, but if you want to, try it yourself first then read the answer below the post.

If you plan on visiting these places, you better act fast. They may not be there by the time you get around to booking your flight.

Tycho:  It's floating around now, out there on the Wub, and it calls to you.  Or maybe it does, I don't actually know.  In any case, it can be got from 3D Downloads, the Fileplanets, GamersHell, or WorthDownloading.  Download it from mulltiple sites simultaneously for a naughty thrill.  God only knows how this would run on my Vista rig at home, but it's a Vista rig, so you can probably guess.  (CW)TB

The Motley Fool - I have vivd memories of a certain consulting engagement where I resided at a one-star motel (having put off making my reservations until the last minute). While the staff was excellent, the motel was a bit lacking in terms of ironing boards and conditioner -- nothing the nearby CVS couldn't solve.

Jikes is a great compiler but they could really benefit from better project management.  This bug  has been open for greater than 3 years now with no resolution.  One of the developers sent me a *private* email (without commenting or closing the bug) this this could be fixed by avoiding the use of symlinks but wasn't sure. Of course this email was sent more than 2 years ago so I have no decent way of finding it.  Adding insult to injury is the fact that IBM won't let me comment on the bug without an account.  The only problem is that my account won't activate.  In a nutshell if you want to use incremental compile with jikes you need to specify relative paths not full paths.  For example if y ...

Although frankly I really didn't feel the need to read the entire thread, I can tell you that the posting to the PHP 3 mailing list is related to the Smarty Templating Engine back in the day. In fact, I believe this was the original spec Andrei proposed before Smarty even existed. Although I don't remember the exact e-mail, this posting reminded me that there was a point in time I thought exactly this way... quoting myself:

Hoping to get some work done on a recent train trip to New York, I kicked back, opened my laptop, and clicked on Microsoft Excel. Up popped a prompt asking for the original program disk. Same thing with Word and PowerPoint. Nothing would run.

According to this security release from Secunia, there's a cross-site scripting vulnerability with the Travelsized CMS package (PHP-based) in the main index file.   David Vieira-Kurz has discovered some vulnerabilities in Travelsized CMS, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.   The problem comes from the input parameters "page" and "langauge" not being verified and sanitized. Users are encouraged to go in and manually edit the source to correct the problem as there is no patch currently posted as of yet. You can get complete information about this issue from the full Secunia report.

Looking at the steam coming off the mail in my inbox this week, I definitely need a place to lay low for a while. One reader kindly recommended Geek Cruises, where I could work on my tan and my Perl programming skills at the same time. He also thought it would help my love life but I'm not so sure. The brochures are full of guys with goatees and laptops -- not exactly my idea of The Love Boat.
