JPluck 0.9 beta 2
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=255030
JPluck is Java-based toolkit for creating Plucker (a popular PalmOS
document format) documents. It includes the easy-to-use JPluck X GUI
for managing and downloading sites. Beta 2 has several important
improvements including a scheduling system, improved Windows HotSync,
and conversion of documents to XML for postprocessing. - New:
Scheduling Documents can now be scheduled for conversion on specific
days of the week and times of the day. More information on the special
Scheduling page. (See the Manual section on the site.) - Improved
Windows HotSync conduit The conduit has been upgraded significantly and
is now part of the main distribution. The big improvement is that PDBs
can be synced to RAM right after they have been generated, while the
rest of the documents are downloaded and queued in parallel. This can
greatly reduce HotSync time when you convert multiple documents,
especially on a serial or IR connection. The second improvement is that
you can instruct the conduit to convert only scheduled and due
documents. Finally, the Windows installer now registers the conduit
automatically. (Note that the conduit cannot sync PDBs to memory cards
yet. Documents meant to be stored on memory cards are still synced at
the end of the HotSync process. This will be addressed shortly.) - New:
Broken links handling Links to pages that are not present in the
resulting Plucker document can be given a distinct color or removed
from the document altogether. - New: HTML to XML conversion dialog This
feature is meant for developers who want to create XSLT stylesheets to
transform HTML pages. Simply specify a filename or URL and JPluck
automatically retrieves the HTML page and converts it to well-formed
XML. You can then paste this XML into a dedicated XSLT editor and
develop stylesheets there. - Improved character handling JPluck now
translates Unicode entities to the PalmLatin character set where
possible. Examples include the curly quotes, the promille, the ellipsis
and the Euro. - Improved logging JPluck C can now send log messages to
standard out, a log file and the progress window simultaneously. JPluck
X can now automatically save messages to a global log file and/or to a
JXL-specific local log file. - Miscellaneous Added the ability to
override the user agent on a per-Document basis. Added the option to
specify the HotSync destination on a per-Document basis. Made several
interface improvements.

GStreamer 0.6.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=254960
The GStreamer team is happy to announce our first ABI stable release
series, the 0.6.x series of the GStreamer streaming-media framework.

namtap writes "A story on NPR's [0]All Things Considered [1]discusses a
light emitting fabric: The costumes onstage in Washington, D.C., might
look a little brighter this opera season -- or at least, much more

"A new technology will soon [4]enable scents to be woven into fabrics.
The technology, called Sensory Perception Technologies (SPT), will
allow particles of moisturisers, deodorants and fragrances to be woven
directly into fabrics. Scented tiny droplets contained inside miniature
waterproof particles are woven into fabrics to be released upon
activation by movement or touch. The fabrics are dry cleanable and
machine washable."

Microsoft Fights to Weaken Washington Anti-Spam Law
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/25/2057236
An anonymous reader writes "According to the Seattle Times, Microsoft
(probably their MSN arm) is pushing for a change in at least
Washington's anti-spam law. Some analysts claim that the changes
contain [0]holes that will allow Microsoft to be exempt from the law."
Odd that Microsoft is simultaneously trying to stop spam sent to
Hotmail users, and to make sure that it can send unsolicited commercial
email without penalties.

upcoming Emerging Technology conference, is a leader in the field of
swarm intelligence and has focused on applying these concepts to real
world problems such as factory scheduling and telecommunications
routing. The concept itself is borrowed from nature; in this interview,
that's where the conversation begins, with ants and other social
insects. Dr. Bonabeau takes us from his [1]childhood nightmares of
carnivorous wasps to applying the theories of swarm intelligence to
solving real problems in the business world."

Link Tag to Enable Auto-Discovery of RSS Files
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/21/1652216
Recently, I have been making small changes to my Slash sites to make
them integrate better into the weblog communities dominated by Blogger,
Radio from Userland, Movable Type, and similar tools. I found out that
some of the weblog aggregation tools look for a specific link tag in
the head portion of a site's home page in order to locate that site's
RSS file. This is the kind of thing that can be added to a template
without changing any code. Here's the code itself: <link
rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS"
href="__YOUR_RSS_URL__"> For more information about the research I
did to arrive at this conclusion, see the article How Weblog Monitors
Automatically Discover RSS Feeds on CTDATA.com.

SuSE8.1 installation test failures for Mysql modul
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/2151208
I have installed slash test sites on debian a few times before, but now
I'm trying to install a permanent site on SuSE8.1 I'm having problems
installing Bundle::Slash - MIME, Mysql modules & libapreq are all
failing their tests. I'm installing Bundle::Slash within a perl shell.
I'll concentrate on Mysql module here. I'm no perl expert (not even a
perl beginner), but it seems to be a problem with lib.pl in testing the
Mysql module. At line 253 & 254, my build complains about these 2
lines with "Illegal character in prototype for main::ErrMsgF : @_ at
t/lib.pl line 254" Here's the lines, what's wrong with them ? If
they're wrong, how come they're in the bundle ? sub ErrMsg (@_) { print
(@_); } sub ErrMsgF (@_) { printf (@_); } There's also a warning during
the "perl Makefile.PL" phase about CAPI & PL_FILES which I don't
understand either. " WARNING: CAPI is not a known parameter. WARNING:
PL_FILES takes a hash reference not a array reference. Please inform
the author. " Again, if the code is wrong, why is it bundled as a
stable release ? I suspect that my problems are just a side effect of
something else....can anyone out there point me in the right direction?
I have a build log if anyone needs to see it. thanks!

anyone help? --Paul Barry

http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/1753223
So here's the deal - I've got my site up and running and everything is
looking and working fine. Except for one thing that could mean the
whole project falls apart. So we all know stories need to be approved
before they are posted, right? So, we have discussions which don't
(necessarily) require approval before they can be published, hence
providing the lay-user an opportunity to create 'posts' to a Discussion
Board. However, it looks as if when I post a discussion, it is only
displayed in my user profile and is not listed in the 'Active
Discussions' list. To create somewhat of a bulletin board, I'd like to
be able to have all user discussions appear in that list of active
discussions. I've noticed the same thing happens here with Slashcode
too. Can it be changed? And if so, how?
ICANNWatch Converts to Slash
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/1741245
It's sort of been mentioned before, but ICANNWatch.org -- a site
devoted to chronicles and critiques of the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers -- has converted from PHP Nuke 4.2 to Slash.
Whether or not this item gets published, we'd like to be added to the
list of slash sites. And of course, if you are interested in the future
of the Internet you may want to visit us to find out what ICANN is up
to. Or, you might want to read our first month's status report.
Scoop 2 Slash conversion script?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/17/1846259
I've seen lots of requests going the other way, and there are some
tools for that, but does anyone have a scoop to slash conversion kit of
some sort? I've decided that scoop hosting isn't viable, and while we
will continue to host scoop sites for our existing customers, we are
now trying to get people to move in the slash direction, and are
offering free extensions to customers who will drop scoop.
