Google Apps for Your Domain service combines Google start page, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Talk, and Google Page Creator. Includes Administrator’s control panel for managing services and users, you can add up to 100 users and make the services work with your own domain just like yourname@yourdomain.com and check your email with a Gmail interface. They either let you use a domain you’ve already registered or register a new domain for $10 a year.

If you are using windows operating system, Infra Recorder is a good free software to burn the ISO into a CD. Just insert a bland CD and select actions>Burn Image from the menu.

This is difficult to achieve in your everyday portals - even if it looks pretty. And especially when based on the totally unscaleable technology called AJAX! There are millions of users in the world, and scaling up with AJAX is like feeding a country. Microsoft Live is a classic example where this has been a perpetual scalability problem.

There was a lot of discussion about the Joel’s post Ruby Performance Revisited. I guess this was just a flamebait, but I’ll bite. Here’s the relevant quote (bold emphasis mine):

And now for something else, the guys over at BitLord have released a TV show for the BitTorrent community. Mininova also plays a prominent part being the sponsor of the Torrent Top List. The guys at BitLord told me the first episode would be a first attempt at a show so they will improve it as time goes. But I have to say, the first episode is a nice start. Make sure to download the first episode here.

I have added a Captcha type anti spam image verification that will at this time only be visible to unregistered users, so if you register your identity, you will not have to enter the password to post a comment.

OpenPBX is a free software PBX now running on several platforms.

Prototype is the Ruby-like Javascript library that is best known as a part of the Ruby on Rails infrastructure. I was going to write about how awesome it is, but instead, I’m just going to link you the appropriate resources. If this is for you, then you’ll recognize the awesome. If not, then not.

This will be a lenghty post because this is a subject I’m bothering with for a longer time. The reason I’m writing it now is a comment I got from James McGovern to my post about the book “The Definitive Guide To Grails”. James has spend some time in investigating the security model of enterprise content management (ECM) systems. He asked me about the security model of Ruby On Rails (RoR) and how this security model is better than in J2EE.

I see great scenarios for "WPF/E" (Code Name). Java Servlets, JSPs, ASP.NET, PHP and any other server side engine can emit XAML just by detecting the browser capability. This can offer a "rich to reach" scenario. If I am not compatible with WPF/E, I would only see a simple text data and if I happen to use a compatible browser, I see a great chart with a lot of interactivity. Add a flavor of AJAX to it and you have a great recipe for serving amazing web experiences. I am already setting up Apache Tomcat to emit XAML from a servlet. I will post my findings very soon.

Writely is an example of this tactic — Google bought the company while the software was in beta, and now the Writely team works at Google.

After open sourcing the Java platform and the great news about Java 7 like upcoming closures support I think Java’s future is secured and more interesting than ever before. Groovy and Grails are also two very nice additions to the Java platform regaining some of the lost terrain from Ruby and Ruby on Rails. Exciting times for the Java community!

And that is how it all began. I recently discovered that Dreamhost has full Ruby On Rails support and I’m working learning this unique development environment/framework. As easy as I’ve said it is to develop applications, it is a bit of a challenge to understand the concepts at times. I’m not used to dealing with a “framework” per-se but I’m up for a good challenge!

She’s right. My only quibble is that what we’re doing isn’t just making any old basic software. We’re unique in that we create tools, and those tools are by and for the sector we work in. When a tool doesn’t exist, and we see a need - an itch that can be scratched, to use the old Free Software term - we create the tool to address the need.

Well there goes another torrent client down the drain :( (it would have been better if they would have just stopped the development like TorrentStorm did years back)

If you’re a webdeveloper, webdesigner or simply someone who does things with websites, Firebug is the ultimate tool for your needs on the topics CSS, JavaScript, HTML & XHTML, AJAX…

With the efficiency and performance advances that we have with AVM2, we can expect to see this for the new JavaScript engine as well. So, previously demanding JavaScript applications may become more feasible (including AJAX applications).

I am adding some Form Templates from FormAssemby, which will be covered under the Creative Commons license. I originally heard about them from the Wall Street Journal, and they look like another candidate to be bought by Google. Just like Writely and JotSpot.

After Epic 2015, we figured it apropos to begin our exploration of Web 2.0 tools with those offered by Google. A few people already had Gmail access, but most had to create new accounts. We briefly looked at the e-mail and calendar, partly as a familiar starting point for discussions, but also as way to demonstrate briefly how AJAX and other similar technologies are changing the landscape of the web. Our main reason for using the Google offerings, however, was to introduce Docs & Spreadsheets (formerly Writely), looking especially at the remote access and collaboration features.

SwS stresses ease of development by separating model, view and controller and by presenting simple semantics for common tasks as well as "the right thing by default." SwS code for CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) tasks should be as compact (or more compact) and as readable as similar Ruby on Rails code. On the other hand, SwS will support significantly richer state management than RoR. Pages will be composed of many long-lived controller/view objects which maintain state in Monads. Each controller may receive input from user-actions or external actions and may mark its associated view as dirty. Dirty views are sent back to the browser as (1) part of a page reload, (2) as a change "push" responding to an AJAX request or (3) forcing a Comet event. The controllers will be Scala Actors such that they may be hundreds or thousands of live controllers in the system at any one time. Associating code blocks with web links and form elements, SwS allows a very granular HTTP request routing.

I have had many people ask me how to use this 'BitTorrent' technology they've been hearing about. It can be rather complicated, and there are many deep articles on the web. However, I prefer to give them a 30 second explanation, and most people are quite happy with that.
