The PHP Scalability Myth | |
Subject: | Dude's right! | |

Java bites. I write both Java and PHP. PHP is a LOT more fun. Hardware is cheap compared to developer time. Java doesn't make a lot of sense on the server anyway. Why do you care if your server side code is portable. It won't be anyway, more than likely, even if you write it in Java with all of the configuration involved. How often are you going to move your code from server to server?

This thread reminds me of Daffy, Buggs, and Elmer:
It's duck season!
It's rabbit season!
Duck season!
Rabbit season!

While readjusting your beak, take a look at the link in the article to the Computer Language Shootout, specifically http://www.bagley.org/~doug/shootout/craps.shtml
Adjust your weightings to what is important to you then see where your language falls in the rankings.

I tried to run some scripts I found on that site. For example, ary3 script. The site says it takes about one second by Java and more than 50 seconds by PHP. On my Linux PC it takes about one second by Java and only 5 seconds by PHP. Of course my CPU is faster than the one used for the shootout tests but ask to yourself: which language scales better when I increase hardware resources?

System.out.println("Hello World");
Oh yea, 10 lines.. Maybe you need to learn to count.
Dude's right! and you're wrong

echo "Hello World"
I don't know Java and don't profess to. Plus I'm a hobbyist who's still learning (always learning!) but even I can see that PHP is going to be easier to script... -

Not to be disrespectful, but I do think you left out a few things.
For just a terminal
class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!"); //Display the string.
For an Applet
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class HelloWorld extends Applet {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("Hello world!", 50, 25);
For a Java Bean
package org.acme;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import javax.ejb.*;
public class HelloBean implements SessionBean {
private SessionContext sessionContext;
public void ejbCreate() {
public void ejbRemove() {
public void ejbActivate() {
public void ejbPassivate() {
public void setSessionContext(SessionContext sessionContext) {
this.sessionContext = sessionContext;
public String sayHello() throws java.rmi.RemoteException {
return "Hello World!!!!!";
Dude's right!

but then a JSP?
<% out.println("Hello world"); %>
pretty much the same as php isnt it... -
Dude's right!
2003-10-20 15:01:28 anonymous2 [View]
Look into webserver generated files, what it makes with your 1 line - 1,2,3 or more classes??? -
Dude's right!
2003-10-21 07:22:48 anonymous2 [View]
It doesn't matter what it generates server side. Because you don't have to write that or maintain it.
JSP and PHP are very similar. Personally, I think that whenever your language has <% } %> in it you're doing something wrong. That's why I don't do PHP, and why I don't do Model 1 JSP.
ZPT *is* the best page templating language around. I just wish it was available for Java. Zope sucks. -

Puffins in Decline
After years of successful conservation efforts, it appears puffins might be in trouble... at least according to this year's breeding numbers. A survey showed a 30 percent reduction in the number of nesting pairs on the Isle of May off the coast of Scotland.
The possible causes? The usual suspects: intensive fishing, agriculture, and global warming.
While the puffin is not in imminent danger of going extinct, some scientists say what's more worrisome is the recent decline in puffins as a larger symptom of greater ocean ills.
Puffins are adorable, no two ways about it -- they look almost fake in their cuteness. So what was British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay thinking when he hunted and feasted on a raw puffin heart on a recent episode of his TV show, "The F Word"? Bad form, Mr. Ramsay.

Online stores offer a convenient, easy-to-use way of shopping, especially for those busy individuals. Shopping an item is so easy; it's just within a few clicks and then voila, it's done!
This is why online shopping gains its popularity every year. Almost everything can be bought online! You name it, the internet has it. However, it's important to take note that you'll still need to take some precautions when purchasing items online. Remember, cyber criminals are always on the prowl.
Identity thieves use low-tech methods such as stealing your wallet or even eavesdropping at key moments as well as sophisticated Internet scams to rob people of their sensitive personal data. That's why it's critical to closely protect any documents, banking cards, or sensitive numbers that can be used by thieves for their personal gain — whether you're at home, out and about in public, or surfing the Web.
Below are basic guidelines we have compiled to help you reduce the risk of identity theft, whether you are online or offline:
Last month, we unveiled the latest version of Ad-Aware, with breakthrough features such as a Safe Browsing system and integration with ID Watchdog. Ad-Aware 10.2 version offers real-time protection against malicious URLs and provides free credit report monitoring that extends the protection delivered in Ad-Aware to offer customers the most reliable online security.
Skype has confirmed that its VoIP software contains a bug which could result in instant messages (IMs) being sent to unintended recipients. The privacy bug was first reported in the Skype Support Network by a user who, after an update to their Skype client last month, encountered the problem in which some of their messages went to another contact. Following this report, a number of other users also confirmed having experienced the problem.
The hacker team D33Ds Co has published a text file that contains 453 491 emails with user passwords for a wide Internet audience. Among them there are more than 138 thousands of Yahoo accounts.
Associated Press has reported that despite repeated alerts, tens of thousands of Americans may still lose their Internet service Monday unless they do a quick check of their computers for malware that could have taken over their machines more than a year ago.

the best brussels sprouts recipe I've ever tried. A new favorite.
By Mimi 2008
Kingston, NY
on November 17, 2013
I made this for a family get together. My mother who is a brussel sprout purist was skeptical. She finally gave in and tried them and loved it! In my house that is like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. You never are supposed to stray from Mother's recipes!!

Delicious! Big, intense flavors that do not overwhelm but only enhance the Brussels sprouts. I love Brussels sprouts and try new recipes for variety - but this one is definitely the favorite in the family.
By fmfaber
on October 22, 2013
My rating is 'EXCELLENT' for this recipie relative to 'Brussels' sprouts. The bacon bits and vinegar present a 'taste-tempting' duo. Brussels sprouts are being re-discovered by amateur cooks, homemakers and 'veggie-geeks'.
I simmer my 'sprouts' covered in water about nine minutes, drain, add olive oil, place in pre-heated 375 degree oven for about ten minutes of roasting and agitation with spoon. Remove from oven, salt and pepper to taste. A side-dish dip of 'fave' oil & vinegar is inviting and accenting!
Tasty? Absolutely! We're not walnut fans so I've substituted things like pine nuts, pecans and almonds and it works out great. i'm not a brussel sprout fan, but I love these, and so does my family! I do find I don't have to roast them as long as it says, but that may be my oven.

An SUV rests on the sidewalk after crashing into the front wall of the Stoneleigh Bakery on York Road in Towson, Md. on Wednesday, March 6, 2013. (Brian Krista, Patuxent Publishing / March 6, 2013) |
Regester Avenue was temporarily closed at York Road in Towson early Wednesday afternoon following a two-car accident in which one vehicle struck a building.
Ofc. Dennis Badham of the Baltimore County Police Department said they received a call of a two-car accident at 12:32 p.m.
One of the vehicles, a black SUV, struck the vacant video store next door to Stoneleigh Bakery, though the vehicle did not enter the store and appeared to only damage the brick exterior.
Baham said there were no major injuries, but one person was transported to the hospital for an unspecified medical issue that may have caused the accident.
Six police cars responded to the scene, police said.

Westlake Village is a planned community that straddles the Los Angeles and Ventura county line. The eastern portion is the incorporated city Westlake Village, located on the western edge of Los Angeles County, California. The city, located in the region known as the Conejo Valley, encompasses half of the area surrounding Westlake Lake, and small neighborhoods primarily south of U.S. Route 101 and east of La Venta Drive. The population was 8,270 at the 2010 census, down from 8,368 at the 2000 census. It is also the headquarters of the Dole Food Company. Westlake Village is known for its affluence and secluded character, and is considered one of the wealthiest communities in the Greater Los Angeles Area.[5]
The western portion of Westlake Village is a community, within the city limits of Thousand Oaks, in Ventura County. The properties and businesses in this portion can be addressed as "Westlake Village", as the United States Post Office maps both 91361 and 91362 ZIP codes to this area. Built across the county line as a planned development, residents recognize that the community of Westlake Village is not limited to the incorporated city in Los Angeles County, but encompassing the entire area surrounding the lake.
The original community was known simply as "Westlake". Roughly two-thirds of it was annexed by the city of Thousand Oaks in two portions, in 1968 and 1972. In 1981, the remaining third eventually incorporated as the City of Westlake Village.[6]
About 3,000 years ago, Chumash Indians moved into the region and lived by hunting rabbits and other game, and gathering grains and acorns. On-going excavations, archaeological sites, and polychrome rock paintings in the area provide a glimpse into the social and economic complexity of the ancient Chumash world. In 1770, Captain Gaspar de Portolà led a party of Spanish explorers and missionaries, traveling north on the route that became known as El Camino Real. The party camped near a Chumash village, believed to be the site of present-day Westlake Village. Father Juan Crespí, chaplain and diarist of the expedition, wrote: "We are on a plain of considerable extent and much beauty, forested on all parts by live oaks and oak trees, with much pasturage and water."
When the Spanish finally did settle the area, they were given huge land grants, the largest of which was Rancho Simi, given to the Pico family. When Mexico won independence from Spain in 1821, California became Mexican territory, and a few more land grants were given. When California was admitted to the union in 1850, most of the land that later became Ventura County was divided among only 19 families. The picturesque future Westlake Village site among rising knolls, arroyos, barrancas and ancient oaks was recognized as the central part of two Mexican land grants: Rancho El Conejo and Rancho Las Virgenes. In 1881, the Russell brothers purchased a large portion of the land for cattle ranching. According to Patricia Allen, historian and family descendant, Andrew Russell beat the competition in buying the land by racing across 6,000 acres (24 km²) on a fifteen-minute trip in a buckboard and sealed the deal with a $20 gold piece. The price per acre was $2.50. The area continued to be known as the Russell Ranch although it was sold in 1925 to William Randolph Hearst and again in 1943 to Fred Albertson. The Russell family leased back part of the land to continue its successful cattle ranch operation while the Albertson Company used the vast area as a movie ranch. Many movies and television shows were filmed here, including Robin Hood, King Rat, Laredo, and various episodes of Tarzan, Buck Rogers, Gunsmoke and Bonanza.
In 1963, the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company bought the 12,000 acre (49 km²) ranch for $32 million and, in partnership with Prudential Insurance Company, commissioned the preparation of a master plan for a "city in the country." Prominent architects, engineers, and land planners participated in designing the new community, a prominent example of planned 1960's-style suburbanism.
The original tract was divided by the Los Angeles/Ventura county line. In 1968 and 1972, the Ventura County side, two portions of Westlake Village consisting of 8,544 acres (35 km2), were annexed into the city of Thousand Oaks. In 1981, the Los Angeles County portion (3,456 acres (13.99 km2) or roughly 1/3) of the Westlake Village master community was incorporated as the City of Westlake Village. California state law prevents a city from existing in two separate counties, so the areas in Ventura County remained part of Thousand Oaks. To this day, many residents of the Ventura County portions of Westlake do not realize that they are actually within the city limits of Thousand Oaks.[7]
Much of Westlake Village is surrounded by open space, including hiking and horse trails, as well as the vast Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. The town borders the Malibu hills, and is nine miles (14 km) inland from the Pacific Ocean. Coastal breezes seep through canyons to allow Westlake to stay up to 10 degrees cooler and considerably less smoggy than nearby San Fernando Valley during the summer months.
In addition to its role as a bedroom community for Los Angeles via the Ventura Freeway, it is also home to many large commercial offices and the headquarters of the Dole Food Company, Pleasant Holidays, K-Swiss, ValueClick, J.D. Power and Associates, and Jafra Cosmetics. The western region office (Region 5) of Anheuser-Busch Inc. is also located in the community. The Ventura Freeway is one of three of Westlake's lifelines to Los Angeles and Ventura; the Pacific Coast Highway, and the Ronald Reagan (118) Freeway also run nearby. It is a short drive to the nearest mall in Thousand Oaks.
Like many upscale hamlets, Westlake Village is well served by golf courses and country clubs. The Westlake Golf Course, off Route 101, is verdant if noisy. More exclusive venues include Sherwood Country Club to the west and North Ranch Country Club to the north.
Over one half of the original "Westlake" development lies across the county line wholly within the city limits of Thousand Oaks. This boundary which divides the Incorporated City of Westlake Village, and Thousand Oaks portion of Westlake Village, crosses over the Westlake Golf Course, halfway between Lakeview Canyon and Lindero Canyon roads, and half of the Lake itself. Another common misconception is that Lake Sherwood is part of Westlake Village. It lies on the Thousand Oaks/Ventura County side.
The City of Westlake Village is located at 34°8′31″N 118°49′10″W / 34.14194°N 118.81944°W (34.141973, −118.819514).[8] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 5.5 square miles (14.3 km²). 5.2 square miles (13.4 km²) of it is land and 0.3 square miles (0.8 km²) of it (5.80%) is water. It is located approximately 40 miles (64 km) West of downtown Los Angeles in the Conejo Valley. Other communities in the surrounding area include Thousand Oaks, Oak Park, Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Newbury Park, and Malibu.

By Sara Sjolin, MarketWatch
Tim Rostan/MarketWatch
LONDON (MarketWatch) — European stock markets staged a sharp rebound, ending a four-day losing streak Thursday after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi pledged to do whatever is needed within the institution's mandate to save the euro.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index /quotes/zigman/2380150/realtime XX:SXXP +0.03% jumped 2.5% to 256.58, after swinging between small gains and losses ahead of Draghi's comments. The gain marked the best daily performance for the index in almost a month.
The Spanish market posted its best daily performance since May 2010, with the IBEX 35 index /quotes/zigman/2759620/realtime XX:IBEX -0.31% jumping 6.1% to 6,368.80. Banco Santander SA /quotes/zigman/205160/realtime ES:SAN -0.89% /quotes/zigman/188106/delayed/quotes/nls/san SAN -0.98% surged 11% as investors shrugged off a 93% drop in second-quarter profit. Santander profit sinks 93% on property provisions
Italy's FTSE MIB index /quotes/zigman/1482176/realtime XX:FTSEMIB +0.39% also shot higher, soaring 5.6% to 13,210.04, after closing at the lowest level on record earlier in the week. Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA /quotes/zigman/204677/realtime IT:BMPS +2.56% surged 9% and UniCredit SpA /quotes/zigman/7909864/realtime IT:UCG +6.21% rallied 9.2%.

Euro zone approves Spain's bank bailout
The country's government will borrow as much as 100 billion euros ($123 billion) from the euro zone's various rescue funds.

• ECB: Greek-backed bonds ineligible as collateral
The ECB president said that "within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro. And believe me, it will be enough." Read about Draghi's euro pledge.
"He hasn't really offered anything new other than reiterating that he supports the shared currency," said Victoria Clarke, economist at Investec Securities. "I would be more cautious. A lot of things wouldn't be within the mandate and Draghi has made clear they don't want to supplement what governments can do."
Banks, however, cheered the comments, with heavyweight HSBC Holdings PLC /quotes/zigman/13843/realtime UK:HSBA +0.15% rising 1.6% and Intesa Sanpaolo SpA /quotes/zigman/172768/realtime IT:ISP -1.49% surging 8.8%.
The ECB president said that if high sovereign yields hurt the transmission channels for monetary policy, keeping risk premiums under control would come within the bank's mandate.
Nicholas Spiro, managing director at Spiro Sovereign Strategy, remained cautious and said "we have been here before."
"German resistance to direct and indirect policy measures on the part of the ECB to lower Spanish and Italian bond yields has risen over the past several months," he said. "It remains to be seen whether Berlin is willing to turn a blind eye to more forceful policy measures to lower Spanish and Italian yields should market conditions deteriorate further."
Even so, pressure significantly came off elevated yields in Spain and Italy, where borrowing costs had risen sharply earlier in the week on concerns about the countries' sovereign debt levels.
In the secondary market, yields on 10-year Italian government bonds /quotes/zigman/4869096/delayed IT:IT10YT -0.19% fell 42 basis points to 6.04%, according to electronic trading platform Tradeweb. In addition, the government sold the maximum targeted 2.5 billion euros ($3.03 billion) of zero-coupon notes, although at higher borrowing costs than at a previous auction.
The yield of 4.86% on notes maturing in May 2014 was, however, below secondary-market levels at the time of sale, according to Tradeweb.
Yields on 10-year Spanish government bonds /quotes/zigman/4869131/delayed ES:ES10YT -0.20% plunged 45 basis points to 6.88%, according to Tradeweb.

Pretty close to perfect
As our regular followers will know (shame on everyone else!), I recently came back from my honeymoon in the Maldives (I know very cliche, but totally worth it!!!). We stayed at the One & Only Reethi Rah, meaning beautiful island, which truly was incredible. Although it's very difficult to capture the beauty of the place in a photo – it is just perfect both nature-wise and architecturally, here are some pics I took which hopefully do it some justice…
As you can see, the open- plan bathroom is as big as the living/ bedroom area (!), complete with double- ended bath, his and hers washbashins (could definitely get used to that!), and closed off shower area and toilet… Can you imagine what it would be like to have a 40sqm bathroom on a daily basis?!!

Scotts designs line for independent nurseries
Different approach
The overall concept for Nursery Select developed with input from a nursery advisory council that worked with Scotts on the line. "We got a lot of feedback from them on the brand perspective container durability and the products themselves" DeVelvis reports. "The council liked the packaging and the system approach."
Scotts also felt this new brand was the perfect launch pad for a line of premium annual plants grown in one-quart grower pots. The grower container is a white recycled tapered container of polyvinyl chloride from ProCal. Like the other rigid containers it too is decorated with a 2-mil PVC label from Fort Dearborn.
"This brings a lot of color to a container that typically doesn't have color" Grogan pointed out. To differentiate the plants from the plant food products the background for this container is yellow and the graphic design incorporates the graphics from both the in-ground and container products.
Different consumer
Scotts designed the line of products to appeal to a female suburban shopper who is demographically a bit younger than a typical Miracle-Gro consumer. "For Nursery Select we're targeting women between 35 and 55 who are very busy and interested in gardening results" DeVelvis says. "Her focus is not about the gardening process it's about a beautiful end result. We worked with an agency to collect data on just what kind of people were typically shopping at these nurseries."
Creating consistent color in the packaging is what drove Scotts toward shrink labels. "With the shrink label we get vibrant colors that are consistent no matter the size or shape of the package" DeVelvis says. "And we felt this would have the look of an upscale brand."
The label copy is geared more toward lifestyle rather than on the product she points out. "We found that our target customer wasn't much concerned about the technical information like the percentage of nitrogen but rather wanted to know how much to use and what results to expect" DeVelvis explains.
Outdoor sales rack
Since Nursery Select is sold as a system it's important to communicate well about the products at the point of sale. Thus the importance of the display rack from CorrFlex now a unit of Sonoco Products.
"This rack was custom designed for Nursery Select products so that they could be merchandised outdoors at the nursery" DeVelvis says. "We wanted the product line positioned near the plants."
The rack is made of galvanized steel that is powder-coated for an improved appearance. It holds two shelves of the starter food and two shelves for the pails of the growth food. The rack is shipped almost fully assembled except for the header panel that's affixed at retail with wing nuts. All of the printed informational panels are made of polystyrene to be weather- and fade-resistant.
Similarly the potting media are also in two sizes of weather- and fade-resistant gusseted and flat bags in 10-qt and 1 cu' sizes. The bottom-gusseted bags come from Banner Packaging while the larger flat bags are supplied by Trinity Packaging says Arden Haynes who develops flexible packaging for Miracle-Gro.
Sell-in for Nursery Select began last fall DeVelvis says. "Overall the reaction has been very positive" she says "We're already looking forward to next year."

Cory Jay finds himself drawn to the Sanctuary where Hogan Wade lures him in with the promise of a 10' cock. Wade dominates Jay, shoving his fat tool down the curious man's throat before stripping him down to his leather gear and fucking him hard. On his back, Jay opens his hungry hole to swallow several pool balls until the twisted ritual ends in a pool of sweat and cum.

WHY BA & LIFT NOW: I'm choosing to have breast augmentation with a lift because I simply do not like the shape and size of my breast as well as the placement of my nipples (they point downward). I began developing at a very early age, but that development did not carry into my teenage years. As a result I ended up with tuberous breast with my right breast size at a A/B cup and a my left breast at a B/C cup. I've tried the normal things girls/women due to enhance their size (i.e. Push Up Bras, Water Bras, and occasionally stuffing my bra) but even with doing that I still wasn't happy with the overall look and size. Thus I decided to pursue BA. Please Note: I will post before pictures closer to my surgery date.
BA & Lift...August 29th 2012... - Winter Park, FL
WHY BA & LIFT NOW: I'm choosing to have breast...
MY CONSULTATIONS: My first consultation was...
My first consultation was with Dr. Armando Soto of Orlando, FL. I found his office to be very nice, clean, and modern. I also found his staff to be very professional (His PT Coordinator was very sweet and spent WAY more time trying to explain things to me than Dr Soto did). However, I found my consultation with Dr. Soto to be quite rushed. To me it seemed as if he didn't care one way or another if he did my surgery. He was very matter of fact with me, showed little to no interest in my case. I felt as though he had categorized me as someone who was only shopping around for a cheap price (when that was NOT the case at all). When he asked me if I wanted to go with silicone or saline and I told him I wasn't sure, his provided no guidance other than to tell me that I would need to figure that out, and that silicone feels most natural and saline feels like a water balloon place behind the skin. Overall I felt his office feeling like I had wasted my time. Now I am NOT saying that Dr. Soto is a BAD doctor in terms of his work. Based on the pictures posted on his website I would say that his work looks very good. I'm just saying he REALLY needs to work on his people skills and be more welcoming to potential patients. Had be been a little more pleasant and shown a more caring nature I would have probably selected him to do my BA and Lift (even though his quote was over 2k more than Dr. Joseph's quote).
My second consultation was with Dr. Brian Joseph. A co-worker who went to Dr. Joseph for a BA and Lift suggested that I go and talk with him after I told her about my less that satisfactory experience with Dr. Soto.
Hands down, Dr Joseph was GREAT! He was friendly, professional, and explained everything to me. It was like he anticipated my questions and he answered them before I could even ask. I found his office to be very nice, clean, and well decorated. One thing that I really liked was the fact that his degrees were not just posted in his office; he also had copies of his degrees and awards posted in his patient examination room. I also found his staff to be very professional. Trudy his PT Coordinator was also very sweet and she worked with me to get the right surgery date scheduled as my husband and I have conflicting schedules and he will be the one caring for me after the surgery.
I did have a third consultation scheduled with Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani but I was so happy with the consultation I had with Dr. Joseph (and the fact that a close co-worker had recommended him) I decided to go with him.
I've set my surgery date for August 29th, However,...
I did not rate the Dr for "After Care Follow Up" as I have not had my surgery yet. I will update this once my surgery is complete.

Good for you Gabrielle6282! You can only use water bras and chicken cutlets for so long and then it's time to really make yourself happy. I bet you are going to be so satisfied with your results, and have so much fun bra shopping!
I am really excited to follow your progress. :)

Focus on Software
Internets, Intranets, LANs, WANs and more. Frankly, I don't care how a system is connected, be it Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, Frame Relay, dial-up PPP, wireless, ham radio, satellite or two cans and a string. If it's connected to something else, even intermittently, it's vulnerable. Recently, Red Hat demonstrated to the world that installing unsecure, vulnerable and, even worse, unnecessary services is a highly security-challenged proposition to the Nth. I don't want to pick on Red Hat; most distributions do similar security-challenged things. But they shouldn't. For my money, no service should be turned on by default, whether the customer asked for a full install or not. Even worse, few distros explain logs and all they offer in their little getting started book. The syslog files (/etc/syslog.conf and the logs themselves) are not "black arts" stuff. They're just boring. Or so we hope. If you have an intruder, or attempted intrusions, these logs can be rather interesting. I've found myself on the edge of my chair as I read through the logs, watching an intrusion and wondering if this wannabe cracker or script kiddie is going to make it in. Okay, so I'm eccentric. But I'm hoping a few offerings centered on system logs might spark a little interest in a bunch of dull log files.
logtool: http://users.digitex.net/~max/
The logtool utility is another of those small things that sometimes go a long way. All a logtool does is colorize log entries. It makes the date-time stamp one color, originating system another, the facility a third color and the message itself a fourth color. This really breaks out a log entry when you have a large number of them on the screen at one time, making reading entries easier. Requires: glibc.
log_analysis: linux.umbc.edu/~mabzug1/log_analysis.html
The name of this package is a bit of a misnomer. Yes, it does do some log file correlations, but it also shows other things, like currently logged in users (w), filesystem status (df -k), last dump (/etc/dumpdates), the logs. I would say it's more of a system analysis. This won't replace other log file tools that search for anomalies but will give an "executive overview" of a system. Requires: Perl.
fwlogwatch: www.kyb.uni-stuttgart.de/boris/software.shtml
If you're running ipchains, netfilter or a Cisco firewall, this utility can grep your logs and display statistics regarding the traffic passing through (or even just to) your system. You must generate the iptables/ipchains rules for logging (-j LOG in iptables) whatever you want fwlogwatch to look for. If you enable netfilter debugging, it's like logging every single packet you see. So I don't recommend that just because of the sheer volume of logging, but it will definitely show you what your system is seeing. Requires: glibc.
MasarLabs System Monitor: www.masarlabs.com/msysm.html
This is another graphical utility used to show various settings and loadings on your system. It is highly configurable and modular, with modules that show apm, clock, CPU, disk status, mail, memory, network status, serial status, swap, network IP, PCMCIA and ppptime. Mix and match in any order you want, in one row across, one row down or in various rows across. Want to just "fill a hole"? Select the empty module. My only complaint is the inability to resize the graphics, which look fine on a screen up to 1024 x 768 but is too small on a screen of 1600 x 1200. Requires: libX11, libXpm, libdl, glibc.
Automated Password Generator and tkapg: http://www.adel.nursat.kz/
This password generator can be configured to produce pronounceable passwords as well as totally random "white noise" passwords. apg can further check these passwords against a dictionary file. This utility comes as a standard program as well as a dæmon that can be run by inetd to service requests on the network (this may not be a good idea unless all network traffic is encrypted). The author also provides separately a tk utility to access and display generated passwords. These two programs make short work of excuses for bad passwords. Requires: glibc; tkapg also requires Tcl/Tk.
pppstatus: http://pppstatus.sourceforge.net/
This utility, designed to be run in a video terminal (VT), shows the status of your PPP connection. All statistics are shown, including IP address and a graphical display of throughput. It's perfect if you have a system that acts as a firewall/dial-up. Its one drawback is it doesn't have an option to lock the screen when invoked so you can leave it up while unattended. Requires: libncurses, glibc.
Text WINdows Manager: http://linuz.sns.it/~max/twin/
Any of you remember the old DOS (DR-DOS or MS-DOS) programs like the Norton Window utility (the name slips my mind) that gave you a window in DOS? How would you like a trip down memory lane? Well TWIN can provide you that trip. It can also provide you with an extremely lightweight term window (or multiple term windows) on one VT. Nice thing is, it also works in X if you're so inclined. I think my laptop just became a non-X piece of hardware. Requires: glibc.
OpenRealty: http://jonroig.com/freecode/openrealty/
If you are a realtor, or know any realtors, then this software will be of interest. It claims to be simple enough for a realtor to set up, and I imagine that means techn-eaderthal realtors. Well, that may be a slight exaggeration but not much of one. It will require that someone make adjustments to the index.php page, but, beyond that, this is the simplest package to administer I've seen in a while. I wish realtors had something like this set up the last time I was looking for a house in the States. If you're not in the US, you might need to make some adjustments (including translations), but it would be a trivial undertaking. Requires: web server with MySQL and PHP4, web browser.
Until next month.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

BayWinds Inn of Petoskey
Travel Blogs from Petoskey
It is really only one lake: Michigan & Huron
After departing Alpena with following John & Rita we followed highway 23 through Cheboygan to the bridge. Connie got a great picture of the magnificent bridge as we crossed it onto the Upper Peninsula (UP), beginning our Yooper experience. Both Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are really only one body of water, sharing the same water level elevation.
Trip to Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island
... bikes and horse drawn carriages. Plenty of fudge and t-shirts
shops, a beautiful, neat clean, buildings & architecture of circa 1800's.
We took a carriage tour, to the highlands and walked back, dogs too. Very dog
friendly island. (Mazy got a little green on the return).
The trip has been great, we are surprising ourselves as to how easy it has been adjusting to being on the road and excited to see what's ...
Last day at Sturgeon Valley Campground
Weather threatened rain all day. Very windy and chilly. Took a short drive down the back road to fill gas at a nearby town. Back to the RV for lunch and spent some time doing laundry. Did some planning for our longer trip in the fall. JD took a drive to see the church with a large cross. Packing up - on the road tomorrow. ...
... through downtown. Found Petosky State Park. Took a walk on the sandy beach there. Then drove a bit more to Burt Lake State Park. Large camping area, boat launches.. Very pretty. Called it a day, returned to the RV, grilled some burgers and had a great campfire. Used up the firewood, supposed to rain ...
Sault St. Marie
... St. Mary's Cathedral next door. And there is Canada on the other side of the river. We had hoped to drive over the bridge to Canada but we didn't bring our passports. Had whitefish at a local restaurant, the Antlers - ceilings and walls covered with all sorts of antlers and taxidermy. Beautiful sunny day. Another campfire night. Awesome. Good ...

This beautiful occasion dress by Forever Unique makes a statement style splash this party season.
Layers of red lace give this dress a stunning vintage appeal, while the bold hue provides greater meaning to the lyrics 'Lady in red'. A dramatic plunging neckline creates a striking sweetheart shape for a sultry reveal. The detachable mesh skirt offers versatile styling options for your party wardrobe. Wear it with the skirt for a formal evening gown and remove it for a night full of dancing at the office do.

From the intersection of Highway 31 and Highway 120 in McHenry take Highway 120 east. Immediately after crossing the Fox River turn south on a county road (River Rd.) and follow the signs to Moraine Hills State Park. The nature preserve consists of 2 units in the state park, Pike Marsh and Leatherleaf Bog. To reach Pike Marsh take the main park road to the Pike Marsh Day Use Area. The preserve is reached by taking a short trail from the parking lot. There is a boardwalk out into the Marsh. To reach Leatherleaf Bog continue on the main park road to the Northern Lakes Day Use Area. The preserve is west of the parking lot.
This preserve contains a variety of natural features which owe their origins to the last glacial epoch approximately 12,000 years ago. Leatherleaf Bog is a 120 acre bog which contains the shrub leatherleaf, sphagnum moss, marsh fern, marsh marigold and several species of willow.
