PHPObject 1.50a. PHPObject is an open source alternative to Flash Remoting for PHP developers. With PHPObject, users can call a method of a PHP class/library on a Web server as if the class/library was defined in Flash itself. It takes care of client-server connections and makes passing of variables (properties) between Flash MX and PHP easy, and thereby providing a convenient way to connect rich media clients with data and business logic residing on a server. The library, together with a WebServicesConnectivityAddOn, also allows developers to easily consume Web services from within Flash MX. [freshmeat.net] 3:09:40 PM

For a long, long time a question has nagged librarians: when will you take all of those dusty old books in the stacks and put them online? Answers where hard to come by. Digitizing existing collections is an expensive propostion with lots of pitfalls and few advantages. Who pays for it? How does it get done? What about access, indexing, copyright? Then along comes Google. In a moment Google makes all of those questions evaporate, at least for a select few libraries. On Tuesday, December 14, 2004 Google announced that it is working with a few libraries to digitze all or portions of their collections and make them available through the Google search engine. Rather than getting into details, here is a list of links from press outlets and blogs about the new program.
Right, well that should give you some idea. As for me, well this seems like a good thing, but I'm still pondering the details, ramifications, etc. As it happens, I'll be giving a talk/paper about the future of access to information resources at a symposium in FL on March 10 & 11, 2004. This gives it a certain spin.

Slashdot | XLiveCD: Cygwin and X For Windows On A Live CD
from the animated-plastic dept. mallumax writes "OSnews is running a story on XliveCD which runs an X server (from X.org) from the CD using Cygwin. Also included are awk, sed, perl, vim, bash, grep, other text utilities, and most importantly an OpenSSH client. XliveCD is being developed by University Technology Services of Indiana University. Now you can carry Cygwin with you! I have been looking for something like this for a long time. Torrent link." 9:47:11 AM

freshmeat.net: Project details for Postgrey - "Postgrey is a Postfix policy server that implements greylisting. When a request for mail delivery is received by Postfix via SMTP, the triplet CLIENT_IP / SENDER / RECIPIENT is built. If it is the first time that this triplet is seen, or if the triplet was first seen less than 10 minutes ago, then the mail gets rejected with a temporary error. Hopefully, spammers or viruses will not try again later, even though such behavior is required per RFC." 9:36:10 AM
