Gentoo: Yearly Releases - help or hurt Gentoo?
Submitted by Webmaster on Tuesday March 03, 2009
I enjoy Gentoo because I never have to re-install my host. The "rolling release" model is great, a model shared by nearly all(?) source-based distros. However, with our new automated weekly stages - which I think are a great idea, we lose a few things. In no particular order, we lose:

fbsql: Clean client-libraries for Firebird and Interbase databases
Submitted by Webmaster on Friday February 27, 2009
I've written this quite some time ago (and it didn't receive much love since then, but it's functional and should be bug-free), but I just noticed I haven't mentioned it on my blog: fbsql is a clean C-API that can be used to create bindings for other languages (such as Python or Ruby).

Release Summary for Asterisk Releases
Submitted by Webmaster on Friday February 27, 2009
In the past, when we made a new release of Asterisk, the only file that you had to get an idea of what changed in that release was the ChangeLog, which includes the developer oriented commit message for every change. There is also the CHANGES file which lists new features included in a new major release. Also, the release announcements generally contain a high level overview of some of the important changes.

Using MySQL With Java Technology
Submitted by Webmaster on Friday February 27, 2009
This tutorial will show you the essential steps to install and configure the Connector/J JDBC driver, with simple examples to connect to a MySQL database. Because the focus is on the database driver and the database connectivity from the Java programming language, this document assumes that some kind of MySQL database is already up and accessible from the client machine.

Experience with the Skype for Asterisk Beta
Submitted by Webmaster on Friday February 27, 2009
Recently Digium was kind enough to include me in the closed Skype for Asterisk Beta. Skype for Asterisk is a new channel driver for Asterisk that connects to the Skype Peer to Peer network. While you could connect Asterisk to Skype in the past, this was all done with a hack to the Skype client, which limited scale and reliability. The new channel driver for Asterisk, actually does away with a client and allows Asterisk to become a peer node in the Skype network. This will be a much more scalable solution, and definitely easier to deploy.

Facebook Must Handle the Twitter Threat
Submitted by Webmaster on Thursday February 26, 2009
Over the past two days I slowed down my blog volume to do something I hadn't done in a while: program an application for Twitter. My programming knowledge often becomes more of a hinderance then a benefit. The reason is that I come up with ideas so often that I occasionally start to program the idea without thinking it through. Being an idea person is good if you can't program but when you can program it can become a burden pretty quickly.

Ballmer: Linux Bigger Competitor than Apple
Submitted by Webmaster on Thursday February 26, 2009
Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer had some interesting things to say yesterday about which companies Microsoft sees as its competitors in the client operating system space. You'd think Apple was their number one competitor - and you'd be wrong. Microsoft sees two other competitors as their primary adversaries.
