VoIP Encryption Software/Security
Phil Zimmermann, the celebrated cryptographer who created PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) for e-mail encryption, is taking a shot at securing VOIP communications.
Sorry for the lack of posts, I’ve been pretty busy. Will get to a real post later today or on Sunday/Monday. Will continue the Toolbar Tutorial next week.
Firefox Toolbar Tutorial: Part 1
Since we’re going to be following the Firefox Toolbar Tutorial you should head over there and download the sample .zip file. I’m not gonna re-create the wheel, I’m just gonna add a little more chrome. (Ba-da-bing, bad joke).
In this series of Tutorials, I suggest you head over to the other tutorial first, read that, then […]
Creating a Firefox Toolbar Tutorial
Ok, I’ve needed to do this for quite some time.
I’m gonna go through the Firefox Toolbar Tutorial and post my results and progress here. I’m telling you now, it won’t be something I release to the public, it will be for demonstration purposes only(well, only to the public, it’ll be of good internal use […]
Firefox 2.0 Roadmap
Firefox 2.0 Roadmap
Hmm, I wonder if they need any help on the Bookmarks updates?
Here’s another article about Firefox as a Platform with a Hat Tip to Thought Stream. I wonder if it’s possible to do something like Konfabulator with XulRunner? Hmmm….
Shuttle Take Off Pictures
You can find some great ones at Flickr, not sure who’s account but I stumbled onto it in a search and thought I’d post it. Shuttle Takeoff Photos
Firefox in the Enterprise
A good read from Inside Firefox Blog about what’s needed for FF to hit enterprise mode. I’ll add(I think he covered it, at least partially), that the #1 important thing is the MSI’s, massive installations simultaneously, and massive control from a network domain controller. That’s what people like, click “Install” and it installs on a […]
Konfabulator
Konfabulator has been aquired by Yahoo!. This is just another example of tech breaking out of it’s old confines. Checking out Konfabulator, it’s very cool. I want something like this for web stats and CRM stats for my current employers. They’d love it actually. This has been mentioned on many other blogs.
In fact, the new […]
New Asterisk Page
I’ve created a new Asterisk page for people who come here via search engine and are looking for something specific. That way they can find the newest up to date info for that topic. I’ve also got a page on the D-Link 1402S because that comes up quite often. Feel free to leave feedback and […]
ADOdb Lite, Parrot, and Browser Extensions
The author of ADOdb has made his comments on ADOdb Lite. I tend to agree, and 640kb is not very much these days. I say just plug in eAccelerator and you’re good to go. There’s so much shared memory between apache these days too, it really doesn’t matter. Although something like mod_perl for PHP would […]
XulRunner, JS, and More Moz News
Here’s some good reading from Brendan on mozillazine’s weblogs.
I’ve never known how great javascript is until just recently. Although, a little too verbose doing XUL Apps, example:
var blah = document.getElementById(”radiogroup_1″);
var bleck = document.getElementById(”radiogroup_1_bleck”);
blah.selectedItem = bleck;
3 lines for something that could be one step. But hey, it does leave a lot of configurability in there […]
FireFox 1.5 in Late Summer
Looks like Firefox 1.5 will be coming out late this summer (Hat tip to Kishin).
Now I mainly work on PHP, XUL/JS, and FreeBSD. It’s great work. =) Money could be better, but money could always be better. And I’m working on that myself.
FireFox, and especially XulRunner, are very ipmortant to me. I’m hoping XulRunner […]
FreeBSD
I admit it, I’m a huge FreeBSD fan and user. Been using it for over 10 years now, literally since I was 12.
The Q2 Status Report is out now. And if you’re wondering, Why FreeBSD.
Hat tip to Slashdot for the article links as well.
Definately good to see FreeBSD moving forward. Not that I’m […]
Stats
I’m really looking at AWStats, looks to be the best one out of them all. I have several domains to take care of and watch, so it’s a little difficult finding one for more than one domain. (We’re also ripping out the admin panel for ZenCart, one day at a time).
Apache Web Log Analyzer’s
I’m taking a look at a couple of different ones right, now:
phpMyVisites
The Webdruid - Which looks like Webalizer, so I’m guessing is based off of it.
AWStats - Which has come a long way since I last saw it!
Real Simple Google Sitemap Generator in PHP
I’ve written a real simple Google Sitemap generator in PHP. Let’s call it v0.1 or something, it doesn’t matter.
You can download it here.
Example Usage:
require_once(’sitemap_generator.php’);
$sitemap = new SitemapGenerator();
// Add homepage URL
$sitemap->addUrl(”http://www.josephguhlin.com/”, date(”Y-m-d”), “daily”, “1″);
echo $sitemap->generate();
Of course, you can do multiple addUrl() calls. You can also call $sitemap->count() to get the number of URLs for large sites(Google […]
XUL/Ajax Roundup
Check out this Firefox Extension for Tabs: Tabbrowser Extensions - outsider reflex (Hat tip to floating space) Looks great, but there is a tradeoff to consider. It’s not very compatible with other extensions. Even the Mozilla Foudnation says not to install it. The next version of Firefox will have a lot of new tabbing features. […]
Study on VoIP
Voice Over IP’s Quality Surprise
Yeah, not as great as POTS, but it’s getting better. Not to mention functionality of the call managers, configurability, and other features, VoIP is definately coming around. As I pointed to earlier there is going to be a big surge of money coming in for VoIP.
What’s the side benefit of […]
New Skype Rival
Looks like the guys from SipPhone have a new product out called Gizmo Project. Current 0.8beta.
It looks pretty good and has call out capability as well. Doesn’t look as good as Skype yet, but it does look good. Not open either, for their service only. Ah well, my search for the perfect softphone SDK continues. […]
