Calamus is still alive
Way back in the distant past I can remember using the Calamus DTP/Layout program on my Atari ST and Falcon to write up science work for my GCSE coursework. Well, it turns out that the people behind that fantastic tool are still around and still releasing for Atari TOS platforms!
Go and have a look :)
Starcraft II Trilogy?
So, will it be starcraft 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2?
It sounds very dissapointing to have the single player campaigns stripped off into two further releases probably years apart.
It is clear that Blizzard have not progressed at the rate they intended with development of the game/story/cinematics. This all seems rather like a way of getting 'some' of the product (the Terran Campaign) out of the door while giving them longer to finish the rest.
Virgin Media
Here we are in our new House, I've just finished constructing a book case and am trying to sign up to Virgin Media (cable). I have that doomed feeling as my signup process has so far encountered three 404 pages and one 500. (they use tomcat btw). Also the 'details' page refuses to accept that our surname contains a hyphen.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Websphere 6.1 Password Encode/Decode
Websphere passwords are stored in it's xml files via a very simple (poor) xor mechanism.
There are a number of internet pages detailing how to use websphere's java classes to encode/decode passwords ( this one is pretty good for Websphere 5.1 and 6.0 ).
I couldn't find anything for websphere 6.1 so here you go:
$ cd /opt/IBM/Websphere/AppServer/lib $ export CLASSPATH=securityimpl.jar:iwsorb.jar:\ :ras.jar:wsexception.jar:bootstrap.jar:emf.jar:ffdc.jar: $ ../java/bin/java \
