Via Christina Drain at Pensacola Junior College, I read that Brian Gardner, creator of the popular premium Revolution themes, is changing the model for Revolution as of Nov. 1. After that, all Revolution themes will be open-sourced. Those who purchased the earlier Revolution themes will have exclusive access to them. There will be a new set of themes on that website, which like I said will be made available under the GPL license. There will ...

We all have horror stories of Windows and OS X. Cashes. File corruption. File locking. DLL hell. Blue screens. Spinning beach ball of death. The list goes on and on. And, for many of us, that is one of the reasons we flocked to Linux. Stability. Speed. The ability to recover from problems that would bring those other systems to their knees. Then, a few days ago, I started working to nail down some (very ...

See link to Assembly Mag article: AGV vs. Conveyor.This is a good, short article, outlining the pros and cons of each system. But, in the context of lean, which this aritcle was presented as...it misses the point. Well, one thing was true about this article, there is "no right answer" when it comes to choosing how to move material in your plant.But, whether you pick AGV, conveyors, fork trucks or whatever...the main goal is to ...

A little background before you read this article excerpt.It was taken from The Battery Park City Broadsheet - specifically their September 29th - October 14th, 2008 issue - linked here to the original PDF.Battery Park City is a (our) Lower Manhattan neighborhood, right next door to the World Trade Center site and a very short walk to Wall Street. Needless to say there have been a lot of busy neighbors around of late, and certainly ...

A few weeks ago, a group of college news web editors and a couple of advisers got together to discuss content management systems. The result is CoPress. From the about page: Student newspapers, at colleges and universities, fare no better than the pros. In fact, they’re generally worse off. Few student publications have much technical talent at all on staff, and what they do have is spread very thin. Most are stuck with bad content ...

Image via WikipediaI really like a lot of things about sports web site espn.com. They have a fine stable of writers and reporters, some cool flash-based live in-game data interfaces, and the ability to stoke the SEC-Big 10-Pac 10 football controversy like no other. But for the love of all that is right and true about the web, STOP THE AUTO-PLAY VIDEO ON THE FRONT PAGE! There are few things more annoying than surfing to ...

Tim Wilson, the site editor for Dark Reading, recently posted an article about recent at the AARP.org website. In the colorfully titled article, "Porn Operators Hijack Pages on AARP Website", Wilson interviews Jeremy Yoder of MX Logic about why AARP.org's site was vulnerable. In brief, the explanation given is that the site deployed a number of Web 2.0 features including user profile submissions which the site didn't properly filter out JavaScript redirected code. Yoder than ...

Pay attention, aspiring journalists. Via Will Sullivan (aka the Journerdist): Fresh off of two victories at the Online News Association awards for breaking news and multimedia coverage and two nominations for interactive Emmy Awards, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is seeking three multimedia interns to help expand their breaking news and multimedia projects for the upcoming Winter 2008, Spring 2009 and Summer 2009 quarters (one internship per quarter). We’re looking for an enthusiastic, multidisciplined, creative and ...

On the brink of releasing two closed source, commercial applications for Linux (see here and here), now seems like a good time to discuss my general view on creating commercial software that, while not open source, is also not evil. The key concern that many raise, is that they do not want their freedoms to be restricted by software. People want to maintain ownership and control over their own information (documents, pictures, etc.). This is ...

Image via Wikipedia The New York Times is reporting that the electronic newspaper will make its appearance next year. The device, which is unnamed, uses the same technology as the Sony eReader and Amazon.com’s Kindle, a highly legible black-and-white display developed by the E Ink Corp. While both of those devices are intended primarily as book readers, Plastic Logic’s device, which will be shown at an emerging technology trade show in San Diego, has a ...

First off. Family, friends, and whoever I encourage you to go and download the Google Browser (Chrome). This comes with caveats as my Apple only friends will be disappointed that there is only a Windows version available.Now a promise to help folks with getting to understand the browser as well as help you file any bugs or problems you might come across (hopefully few).I have to admit being quite giddy for some time now with ...

The long story to this post is that I spent almost all of our European trip deprived of good coffee. This may sound contradictory so let me explain....Greeks (or at least the cities in Crete I haunted) think that Nescafe is a legitimate replacement for real coffee. It isn't.Germans have gone crazy for automated espresso machines. These price items do everything but look at you pretentiously as they serve you. One thing they generally don't ...

No crazy talking head liberals hear, just seems to me to be some straight answers with very little content in the answers.

If you read Steve Yegge's Ten Tips for a (Slightly) Less Awful Resume, you'll notice that he lists various words and phrases that you should avoid using in your resume. I was re-reading that hilarious, uncouth, yet insightful blog entry a couple days ago and started sweating that I might have a Weasel Word or two in my own resume. This could happen purely by accident, of course (we all get sloppy now and then, ...

I was interviewed for a story by Becca Denison of the Daily Tar Heel - Student paper forced to trim. Harry Montevideo of Georgia’s Red and Black also comments. And DTH Editor in Chief Allison Nichols uses the incident to examine the DTH’s fiscal health in this blog post.

Well, it’s actually not Guitar Hero, it’s “Guitar Praise: Solid Rock” (of course it is). Among the many great Christian tunes you can rock out to is “There You Go” by a little band called Caedmon’s Call. It can be your for $99.99. (available next month).
