Some small thins differs as the locations on the configfile, /etc/wordpress/config-blog.balp.nu.php

There are some irritating bug's left to fix, VWR-4575 IM tabs no longer blink when new IM text is received. A so called hot, issue at LL since 1.19.0.RC1. But LL have been working getting this back and we'll probably get it in 6 months, that's about the same time if took to get the friends list out of the communication window.

Godwin’s law
Inte trodde jag att jag skulle på se Godwin's law i en pappers tidning. Men här är det, säkerhetshet experten, säkert skälv utnämd, Kim Pihl, skriver i Ålands posten, " - De nyare mac-datorerna med operativsystem med djurnamn drabbas lättare av virus än vad windows gör. ... Det gamla systemet var skyddat från virus. [MacOS Classic] Men nya datorer behöver brandvägg och virusskydd." Fel, uppenbart fel, gamla MacOS classic var inte skyddat från virus för fem öre det var ett vanligt problem med virus på gamla macar. Jag har rensat åtskilliga macar från virus. Inga nya MacOS X maskier ännu dock. Brandvägg och virus skydd fungerar bara när man fått in skit redan, det är inte ett skydd mot problemet utan symtomen. En dator bör vara säker utan virus-skydd annars bör man inte använda den till något viktigt, en dator skall vara säker utan brandvägg. Den skall inte finna någon trafik från internet som kan ta sig in på maskinen utan att man startar en tjänst, en tjänst man valt att köra en tjänst som skall vara säker. Massor med servrar kör utan virus skydd för det har ingen effekt.
Att han sedan refererar till Microsofts reklam, via i ZDnet, och IDG där någon har lyckats sammanställa Secunias säkerhets rapporter för XP, Vista och MacOS X. På ett sätt som närmast kan likställas med lögn. Samman räkningen i ZDnet blir 34, 20, och 243, Källan Secunia räknar också samman sak, 30, 17 och 26. Det spektakulära här är att alla siffor är för höga, och MacOS siffran mycket för hög, hur fick man detta, jo genom att inte titta på Secunias samnstallning utan att söka på hur många gånger de olika OS kommit upp in en säkerhets lista, ett av de tydligaste exemplen på fel räkning är CVE-2007-3005, ett av den flesn som listans till Mac OS X. När man läser på vilket säkerhets hål det är: "Description: ** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER." Jag måste erkänna att jag inte gått igenom alla säkerhets hål till alla plattformarna, jag litar på secunia här. ZDnet gick så klart ut och gjorde avbön på den förta artikeln och erkände at det inte kunde räkna, även detta rapporterat av IDG.

Second Life Windlight 19.0.79462
W00T, I'm connected to Second Life with:
Second Life (Nicholaz Edition) 1.19.0 (79462) Feb 9 2008 09:14:42 (SecondLife Nicholaz NICHOLAZ_VERSLONG Edition) BBWL-c-b0
Most memory leak and bug fix patches are in, almost none of the gui fixes, I'm not planning to release this until the GUI also is better than the Linden version. From the nicholaz EC viewer the following patches are left not added:
- With 2037 main GUI stuff.
- With 1550 main GUI changes, the .19 have many UI changes and this it not clean to add back in, and maybe in parts need to be changed.
This is a memory fix, that somehow isn't clean to add, not time to find the reason for it yet.Works.Party 2 of 1857 same stuff as the fellow patch.Works.- GUI changed so much needs to be reworked.
- Big GUI changes in here.
- Appliec but crashed on start up, the status bar have changed much.
1857_apr_thread_mutex_nested.patch
1857_cache_uploaded_textures_v0.82.patch

Secondlife 1.19, the future.
When Linden land thou Joshua published the Roadmap: 1.19.0 Viewer, I was sceptic and not thrilled, one could say negative. The updated time plan looked much better and realistic. The only bad stuff making it into 1.19 is the age verification, look at Nadine's killing of the technology. Keeping under ages out might be good, but not this way.
I have compiles a first look of the viewer, thanks Linden for the new updated subversion handling! The biggest changes are in the UI, the 1.19 looks much better than anything since the release of voice in august. The biggest change is that the friends list now finally is possible to get out of the f**king communicate window. Also finally there is an addition of voice to Linux, soon the message "Second life is now fully voice enabled" might be true. Now it just time to live up to "Voice viewer release is open source". Voice is still a secret binary blobb, not portable and probably not working well at all computers, it's a little early to tell. There exist no possibility for fix the stuff so it works with esd or an other sound deamon, the same way as the viewer does. Adding Nicholas patches will be a little harder this time, and some might not any more be usable.

Relesed: Balp Build wl-a (Nicholaz EC-b)
Ok, back from vacation and new patches from Nicholaz, this time for the windlight code. My build is made against the 18.6.76116 versions of the code, (last source code, new viewer from LL). I have tested with the 18.6.76453 viewer as well. The 18.6.76116 contain an error in a German language file that might have you log into a false SL site. (The kind of stuff the new login behaviour is there to "save" us all from...)
However downloads are on acc, binaries and patches. Inteneded for 18.6.76116 but works with 18.6.76453 as well. (LL seams to have removed the 76116 version from all but source code...)
To install with 18.7.76453 do as follows.
$ wget http://firstlook-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com/SecondLife_i686_1_18_6_76453_WINDLIGHT.tar.bz2 $ wget http://www.acc.umu.se/~balp/second_life/balp-build-wl-a.tar.bz2 $ tar jxf SecondLife_i686_1_18_6_76453_WINDLIGHT.tar.bz2 $ cd SecondLife_i686_1_18_6_76453_WINDLIGHT $ tar --strip 1 -jxf ../balp-build-wl-a.tar.bz2 $ wget http://www.acc.umu.se/~balp/second_life/18.6.7453/releasenotes.txt
The last file added the 18.6.76116 to the top of the release notes to tell the nicholaz version you have 76116 installed.
