With the RequireJS 0.11.0 release James feels like he has the features to make that real:

• There is a new priority config option to indicate priority, parallel download of build layers.
• A new JSONP plugin allows you to treat any JSONP service as dependency.
• require.js should be Caja-compliant. The plugins may not be, but the main require.js file passed cajoling on http://caja.appspot.com/.
• Instructions and optimization support for renaming require().
• There is a new RequireJS+Transport D download option that supports the CommonJS Transport D proposal. This can be useful in conjunction with the server-side Transporter project.

OpenFiler is a NAS distribution that is created using rPath and is licensed under GPLv2 by Xinit Systems. While an open-source project, Xinit provides fee-based support as well as specialized versions and an administrators manual which you have to purchase.

OpenFiler started as a simple NFS distribution with simple administrative tools but it has grown to become much more than that. Currently it supports the following network protocols:

• NFS (currently NFSv3)
• SMB/CIFS
• HTTP/WebDAV
• FTP
• iSCSI (both initiator and target).

Need to get hardware together to setup one of these for home.

The slides are embedded below and you can grab the demos from my DropBox account. There isn’t much documentation on the demos, but hopefully they’re semi-helpful.

Getting Started with Flex and PHP

Looks like a worthwhile slidedeck and demos for working with Flex and a PHP backend.

Swatch isn’t a cleverly designed watch from the 1980s but you’ll think it’s just as handy (and cleverly designed) as one. Like Logwatch, swatch is a perl script that watches your logs but swatch watches them for regular expressions that you configure. Swatch will notify you via mail or the console screen (stdout) when it matches the configured log file entries with your watchfor directives.

Swatch picks up and delivers messages as intrusions occur so that you can halt any potential breakins or hacks before the intruder does any damage. It is one of the most important defensive weapons in your system administrator arsenal.

Powerful tool, that I need to consider using... as a way to be more proactive with log messages.

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open any website. 2. Alt-D to select the URL 3. Ctrl-C to copy 4. Paste to any editor that allows rich format: MS Word, OpenOffice Writer, MS Outlook, etc. What is the expected result? The URL should be pasted as plain text. What happens instead? The pasted URL retains the colours (green or red for https, black and grey) and the font (Segoe UI 11.5pt) of the Google Chrome URL box.

Issue 976 (http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=976) explains exactly what I see when copying a URL out of Chrome on Windows.... and how it behaves different than other browsers (when copied into Outlook in particular).

Seems like a great video embedding solution.

This screencast sponsored by Microsoft shows you how to build a basic Silverlight application in order to talk to PHP.

Haven't watched the screencast/video yet, but hopefully has some good information about making Silverlight work with PHP backend.
