Squid-3.x starting to shape up
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=252490
During the last months the Squid developers (mostly Robert) have been
busy creating a new breed of Squid which will be named Squid-3.X. Squid
is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients, supporting
FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. The major changes in Squid-3.0
compared to Squid-2.5 are related to the the internal design of Squid
and not very visible externally. The big news is that Squid is now
written in C++ while Squid-2.X and earlier were all written in C. In
terms of functionality Squid-3.0 only have minor improvements, but the
hope is that with the transition to C++ and a large scale cleanup of
the code the Squid-3 code will be a lot easier to maintain and extend
in the future. Gradually more and more components of the Squid
internals will be transitioned and cleaned up from a tangled C mess
with many not always apparent dependencies between different modules to
a more structured and isolated C++ classes.

DVArchive V2.0 available
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=252110
DVArchive allows you to turn your PC into a "Virtual ReplayTV" that can
download shows and serve them back up to your ReplayTVs as well as
automated schedules and the like. DVArchive V2.0 is a major update with
lots of bug fixes, lots of new features and a drastically rewritten
infrastructure/plumbing. DVArchive V2.0 is now available You can read
more about DVArchive at it's home page http://dvarchive.sourceforge.net
DVArchive V2.0 makes some serious changes in your DVArchive.xml and
Local.guide files. Please read the CHANGELOG.txt before running it and
if you are upgrading, be sure to backup your Local.guide and
DVArchive.xml files first. If this will be your first use of DVArchive,
please review the README.txt before running it. -- Gerrys Plea :-) ***
PLEASE READ THE CHANGELOG.txt and README.txt *** Most questions folks
have asked are answered in the CHANGELOG.txt or the README.txt or
TROUBLESHOOTING.txt. Please check them over before you report a problem
- it's good for you (quick resolution) and the community in general
(saves resources for the new issues). Thanks in advance! -- A brief
summary of new features: * Support for Replay 4xxx and 5xxx units *
New, efficiant/clean/single window interface - Combined single window
DVR Explorer - Context sensitive menus (regular and popup) - Full Drag
and Drop support * Ability to store show files using the shows title
(vs numbers) in your local guide * New XML based guides (no more guide
corruption) * Fixes to eliminate lockups * Ability to remotely turn
ReplayTV off (to free up time and speed up downloads) * Ability to edit
ALL information about a show (including date/time, ratings, etc) *
Periodic renegotiation of time offset (so that DVA keeps working even
if your computers clock drifts over time - useful when DVA is left
running all the time) There is really a lot more - the item about a new
User interface is deceptive as this has literally dozens of
changes/enhancements contained in it.

His latest essay is one that's a little more personal and that we can

being smarter than the average bear is more of a liability than an

Slashcode
Discussion Posts
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/1753223
So here's the deal - I've got my site up and running and everything is
looking and working fine. Except for one thing that could mean the
whole project falls apart. So we all know stories need to be approved
before they are posted, right? So, we have discussions which don't
(necessarily) require approval before they can be published, hence
providing the lay-user an opportunity to create 'posts' to a Discussion
Board. However, it looks as if when I post a discussion, it is only
displayed in my user profile and is not listed in the 'Active
Discussions' list. To create somewhat of a bulletin board, I'd like to
be able to have all user discussions appear in that list of active
discussions. I've noticed the same thing happens here with Slashcode
too. Can it be changed? And if so, how?
ICANNWatch Converts to Slash
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/1741245
It's sort of been mentioned before, but ICANNWatch.org -- a site
devoted to chronicles and critiques of the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers -- has converted from PHP Nuke 4.2 to Slash.
Whether or not this item gets published, we'd like to be added to the
list of slash sites. And of course, if you are interested in the future
of the Internet you may want to visit us to find out what ICANN is up
to. Or, you might want to read our first month's status report.
Scoop 2 Slash conversion script?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/17/1846259
I've seen lots of requests going the other way, and there are some
tools for that, but does anyone have a scoop to slash conversion kit of
some sort? I've decided that scoop hosting isn't viable, and while we
will continue to host scoop sites for our existing customers, we are
now trying to get people to move in the slash direction, and are
offering free extensions to customers who will drop scoop.
Lifetime karma
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/15/2021220
I just read this interview (flamebait/insightful, depending on your
view of a certain GWB) with Kurt Vonnegut, now 80 years. Seems he's
earned quite a bit of karma in his years. That's how I got this idea:
Presuming succesful slashsites might last for decades, it would be a
further motivation to keep writing good commentary and just generally
interesting if, in addition to the active karma value (with the cap),
there would also be a separate "total karma earned", or lifetime karma
which would not have a cap and would be an integer value rather than a
descriptive value.
External Authentication
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/14/1733212
I have an existing registration system on a website that I would like
to also deploy slash on. In order to do this, I need to be able to use
my existing database for authentication. It is MySQL driven. In
searching I have seen that some have been successful letting Apache
authenticate and then passing the username to the program. I imagine if
that is possible, it could also be done with cookies, but I am
guessing. Has anyone else crossed this bridge already? If yes, would
you mind sharing the patches? If no, does anyone have any advice on the
best way I should proceed. Thank you, Mitchell
Slash on Mac OS X - Undefined Symbols again
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/13/1733208
Hi, I am fairly new to Mac OS X and Slash so please apologise any
stupidities. I've been trying to install Slash on Mac OS X for 2 days
now and after resolving any Fink and firewall and Perl 5.8.0 issues am
nearly there. There's just this one tiny module that still has
undefined Symbols: Apache::Slash::User: > perl -MSlash::Apache::User
dyld: perl Undefined symbols: _ap_add_module _ap_find_linked_module
_ap_null_cleanup _ap_palloc _ap_register_cleanup _ap_remove_module
_perl_clear_symtab _perl_cmd_perl_FLAG _perl_cmd_perl_TAKE1
_perl_cmd_perl_TAKE2 _perl_get_startup_pool _perl_perl_cmd_cleanup I've
tried deleting the directories in /Library/Perl and reinstalling Slash
but to no avail. I installed Perl according to the HOWTO at Apple's and
it seems to work fine, installing a slash site worked perfectly well, I
just can't start neither apache nor slashd. Any ideas? Thanks,
christian
How Do You Change HTML Tag Case?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/14/061243
I was able to change the case of HTML tags used by Slash by editing
Display.pm, Data.pm, and templates. However, there is one last tag
which I cannot change the case for. The </A> tag. Where can I go
to change this? I need to normalize my tags to lowercase to conform
with XHTML.
Using the Features box
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/13/1732235
Is there any way to make the features box automatically update itself
and present direct links to the "feature" stories that have been posted
on the site? Or would this have to be done manually? If it's gotta be
done manually, seems to me as if the features and quick links boxes
could effectively be used for the same thing. Guess it depends on how
recently i plan to update the features box.
How do add a field to the 'newuser' form?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/13/0248246
Okay, I posted a similar question before, but since it didn't get
posted, I am trying to simplify my question (always a good idea ;-) :
When users sign up for their id, the current form asks for id and email
address. I would like to add a zipcode field and have that parsed and
added to the database. I know how to add the column and I will probably
put the zipcode into a new table as to not break things when I upgrade
to a new slash. My question is: how do I: get the form to show the
zipcode field (I looked at users.pl and am a bit confused) get the
zipcode into my database (since the call 'createUser' [users.pl line
419] calls the Environment.pm library which I don't want to mess with)
My idea was to maybe do a db call directly inside users.pl to add the
new uid (as a primary key) and the associated zip into its own table.
Any suggestions? Michael
Orion Robots - From Sol to Sirius
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/10/1737206
This is really just a shameless plug. I wanted to let those people at
slash know about my site at orionrobots.dyndns.org. The site
specializes in robotics discussions, and will grow to include
galleries, robot design submissions and much technical info. all with
the ability to search and comment! Hooray for slash! --spacejunkie
