SQLAuthority News – Effect of Oracle acquiring MySQL – A Delayed Analysis – blog.sqlauthority.com
08/31/2009
On 20 April 2009, Oracle Corporation announced its acquisition of Sun Microsystems in a deal worth about US$ 6 billion. This would have been just another one of corporate mega-deals that sound interesting in the news but really have no effect on your life. Except for the fact that with the purchase, Oracle acquired the world’s most widely used open-source database engine- MySQL. About 12 million small databases, mainly in websites and small businesses, run on the open-source MySQL platform, since it is stable, easily adaptable and most important of all for cash-strapped small companies, free.

Gimp Users: Save for Web Plug-in – jeremyperson.com
08/30/2009
I am a big fan of open source software so at home I use Gimp which is an open source alternative to Photoshop.  One of my favorite features of Photoshop is its “save for web” feature which lets you downsize images so they will load more quickly on websites you support.  I found a plug-in today for Gimp which allows that capability so I thought I would share it in hope that those who also use Gimp could benefit if you happen to be reading this blog.  If you don’t have Gimp you can grab a copy over

7 Deadly Sins of Windows 7 – techwall.org
08/27/2009
The seven deadly sins are, according to the FSF, the “seven major areas where proprietary software in general and Microsoft Windows in particular hurt all computer users: invading privacy, poisoning education, locking users in, abusing standards, leveraging monopolistic behavior, enforcing DRM (Digital Restrictions Management), and threatening user security.”Beside the Web site, and a public demonstration at the Boston Common, the FSF elaborated on these points in a letter to the leaders of the Fortune 500 companies.
The People that Ruin Blogging for Me – adam-mcfarland.net

A few weeks back Nev wrote a post asking for feedback from his readers about his blog and himself in general.  In the comments someone mentioned that they wished he would post more about his e-commerce site, House of Rave . He responded: I sincerely wish I could post more about House Of Rave since I love writing about it. I’ve refrained quite a lot to reveal less to competitors and avoid copycats. There is a DIRECT correlation between how much I write about my business and how many people immediately try to emulate it.

Tomorrow, the Department of Health and Human Services will host its first “code-a-thon” dedicated to the National Health Information Network and its Connect software. About 80 programmers, led by Apache developer (and Collabnet employee) Brian Behlendorf , will spend about four hours trying to stamp out bugs in the open source software gateway, which is based on National Health Information Network (NHIN) conventions.

Moodle 1.9 Multimedia – Book Review – michaelhanley.ie
08/27/2009
I’ve used Moodle for about four years, and in that time I’ve found it to be an exceptionally useful, high-functioning and user-friendly learning management system (LMS). In my view, the one deficiency in its suite of resources is that it is less than intuitive in the way it enables administrators, teachers, and learners to create, integrate, manage, and deliver images, audio, video, animations and other media types.Enter Packt Publishing’s Moodle 1.9 Multimedia by João Pedro Soares Fernandes.I opened my copy of the text with a high expectation that it would be an informative and  practical reference text.

08/27/2009
I haven’t been too happy with my current podcast capturing setup, so I decided to change it. The setup did include starting up a Windows 2000 VM, starting up Juice in that, then downloading any new podcasts. I then moved the files from the VM to a directory on my workstation. At that point, I had to change the ownership of the files and then move them to a USB stick. As I said, there are way too many steps in that sequence to do every morning. Last night I installed a Linux podcast aggregator called hpodder.

The importance of scripts – thoughtsontranslation.com
08/25/2009
I’m a big believer in writing scripts for important occasions; the first time that I presented at the ATA annual conference (a presentation on free and open source software at the 2004 ATA conference in Toronto), I typed out every single word I was going to say, including a few pre-scripted jokes. When Eve Bodeux and I record our podcast episodes, we write out a fairly complete script for the episode; these days when I do presentations I don’t necessarily write out a full script, but I make a detailed outline of the talking points for each slide I’m going to cover.

But the people I talk to in the hallways, the vendors, and the folks who end up going out to dinner together are, as often as not, also smart and articulate and accomplished.

Linux Kernel Development – richg74.wordpress.com
08/22/2009
I’ve talked here before about open-source software development, and how it fits into the overall IT landscape.  Probably the largest and best-known open-source project is the Linux operating system .  Linux is a “work-alike clone” of UNIX; it was begun in 1991 by Linus Torvalds while he was a student at the University of Helsinki.  Although a complete Linux OS distribution, like Ubuntu, SuSE, or Debian contains a great deal of software, including the X Window GUI system, utilities and tools from

Linux is big business – dv-depot.com

Hot on the heels of the news of UNIX’s 40th anniversary comes a Linux Foundation report entitled Who Writes Linux . This report investigates who is contributing to the Linux kernel, and how much: “Since 2005, over 5000 individual developers from nearly 500 different companies have contributed to the kernel. The Linux kernel, thus, has become a common resource developed on a massive scale by companies which are fierce competitors in other areas.” Wow! It bears noting that an analysis like this is only available because Linux is open source software.

I was thinking about the changing tides in software buying trends and how these changes can be such a huge win for education.  Education professionals have always known the value of collaboration and sharing of ideas.  It just took the technology industry a bit of time to catch up.  The good news is it is happening. The days of expensive, proprietary software packages are ending.  The new way of collaborative, standards-based open source technology is here.  And with it comes, more development, more innovation yet for less money and much easier.

How did this get generalised from “In one developing country women are in a slight majority” to “Only in the developed world are women in a minority.” Logic fail.

For the purposes of talking on the phone, it gets the job done just fine. I don’t use the easyedge features. I wish it were a bit more customizable. It only supports MIDI sound that I’m aware of. The only way I’ve found to add my own music is to buy this USB cable off ebay, and use some open source software to access it, but even then I can’t completely customize.

The challenge of standards-making and adoption – movingdownstream.wordpress.com
08/15/2009
I was reading this month’s Computer magazine and found an interesting article by Charles Rich entitled Building Task-Based User Interfaces with ANSI/CEA-2018 . It sounded like an interesting UI abstraction so I went after the standard to look through it. And that’s when I was reminded of something: ANSI/CEA-2018 is one of those paid standards. If I want to read anything beyond the index of the standard, I have to pay $85.00 (or $63.75 if I was a member).

Search Engines May be the most Powerful Software

August 14th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in General

Nowadays you can obtain great deals online if you just know where to look. Many people would tell you that you have to know where to look when it comes off-line stores by going to various stores. But you don’t have to go to various websites because they’re all at the same place. It is called a search engine. Let’s say you were looking for a GoDaddy hosting promo code and you wanted to make sure you could find it online.

Instead of typing in random search engine names just like you would walk into random stores a mall you might as well use a search engine. Type in exactly what you are looking for and it will be found. So as you can see it makes a lot of sense to you simply use a search engine because it will find everything related to your term and all of the sites. Imagine if you could walk through the door of a mall that had 300 stores type into the computer dress shoes and instantly it would find which store where in the mall had to dress shoes you need. Matter fact is that a bad idea to do that with malls it would save me a lot of time I would greatly appreciate it.

The Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management came out for the first time this month.  I say the first time because it was always a Market Scope before the 2009 report.  If you look at it, you can learn many things.  The one thing you won’t learn is if any of the products are right for you, but we’ll get to that in a minute. Jon Marks did a good job of comparing Gartner’s and Forrester’s latest rankings and highlights how a “Niche Player” may be worth considering.
Viruses From Torrents Removed Software..what Do I Do? – cleanup-registry.net
08/13/2009
Now i know its not greatly safe to download programs from torrents and i do it at my own risk (blah blah blah), however, i’ve used them before to get “Regcure”. I recently downloaded the “Vegas movie studio platinum” torrent and when installing the actual program, it said it was removing software. Obviously i went crazy as it should never remove ANY software when installing a new program, tried to cancel, and wouldnt work. Then my computer reset itself, and reloaded saying it had recovered from a serious error.
Eating our own dog food – alptown.com

I’m a huge believer in doing what you say others should be doing. Libraries are dedicated to open access to information. I think that’s a very good thing because when information is withheld, enormous amounts of energy are wasted duplicate efforts since everyone has to start from scratch. It really limits what you can accomplish.I keep running into situations where libraries increasingly fail to live up to their rhetoric.

Review Link: http://aplawrence.com/Books/kernel-primer.html Full Text: I’ve been less than happy with other kernel books I’ve read. Admittedly,it’s a difficult subject: there’s a lot to cover, and you really need quite a bit of programming and general Unix knowledge before you could even consider jumping into this area. But I have the background,have even written simple Unix drivers, and yet every other kernel programming book has disappointed me.
10 ways open source software can save you money ! – holisticsystems.co.uk
08/10/2009
1. It almost goes without saying, but open source software (OSS) is free. 2. A vast array of high quality open source applications already exist to solve almost every conceivable business problem. 3. OSS is developed from a more efficient programming paradigm which means more applications can be hosted on a given server. 4. It is incredibly cheap to implement. £30 per year will buy a web hosting package from eukhost.com capable of running a content managed website, a CRM system, a customer support forum and a mailing list manager with 24/7 high quality server-level technical support.

Open Source Forums for Greater Collabration

August 9th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

I thought the community of open-source software could take a tip. Most of the sites you see for open-source software are basically places where you can check out code may be from a different branch checking in and talk to others. Some of the sites that are really taking off now the social network sites and the sites have forums because everyone can talk about that particular topic or niche. Here is a forum where someone posted about a GoDaddy coupon as an example and many people have replied to it. This is a great way to get the community involved, actually to get people talking to each other.

So what happens from what I have seen in the forums is that 10% of the people are actually posting and answering but yet 90% of the people who are there are reading the replies and information. So you can actually impact a large group of people and give them very valuable information by discussing issues in an open forum. So when discussing code issues or changes or problems and solutions why not do it in an open forum so can have the greatest impact in many can learn about it. Many times and open-source software people work on small pieces in each one of the pieces will have their own little community. But if everyone could learn from what went right or wrong and how it was fixed or how it was architected for each piece that everyone could benefit from many different projects.
