YML.COM upgraded to MOBIE 0.8.0.24

06/02/2005 5:26PM

After quite a few weeks of work coming up to speed on asynchronous javascript and XML (AJAX as the buzzword is called now), I'm pleased to announce the YML.COM has now been upgraded to MOBIE 0.8.0.24.

This includes some bug fixes. For those of you who post article to the CLOG or bugs to the ticket list you will notice that the HTMLEditor has changed a bit. I've ripped out the Xinha editor and replaced it with my own fork of the Xinha project I call AreaEdit. It should be vastly more stable than the previous HTML editor was althought it lacks some of Xinha's really cool features. (I'll take stability over feature creep any day).

The new editor has an integrated ImageManager so now you should be able to upload your own images and include them in-line with the text as in:

If you post articles or bugs, please keep an eye on the javascript console and report any errors. Thanks.

Blue Angels over Annapolis - 2005

It was a cold, windy, rainy, dreary day on the Severn river today. The ride over from South River Marina was a bumpy one.

I'm pleased to report, aside from a rich running carburator on the port side, the boat seems to be operational once again.

I tried taking pictures but the old FinePix camera I have does not do very well in low light. Anyways, the photos are here.

I don't know if we'll have the boat put back together in time but we're going to give it a good try.
Some Patent Sanity - at least in Europe

In the glimmer of hope department from Slashdot:

According to story on ZDNet, the European Parliament (EP) has enlisted the help of intellectual property lawyers to amend the directive on the patentability of computer-implemented inventions so that companies are prevented from patenting pure software. According to article: "The ongoing argument over patents in the software industry revolves around the distinction between physical inventions that use software -- such as a car braking system -- and pure software." (See also this earlier story about the EU and software patents.)"
