There’s some news last night about the first Mac OS X “virus” in the wild. First of all, it’s NOT a virus. It’s a Trojan horse, which requires the user to execute the program him/herself. It’s low-risk and probably won’t spread beyond the few people who’ve already been infected. Good news is that it appears …

Press Release
Keep an eye out in two weeks for a press release of the DFL. In two weeks we should have a pretty good beta up and running… sort of? It’ll depend on my other responsibilities at work. The beta is up and running right now: DFL. Things left to do for this revision: Tie-together a …
Siggraph2006
Well, as my situation at work would have it, German (coworker), Larry, and I are working on a paper to submit to Siggraph for our work on the DFL. The deadline is Friday. In the event our paper isn’t accepted, we’re going to look at doing a poster or talk. Wish us luck!
New DFL site coming
Feb 2 is the tentative due date for the DFL rewrite. Actually it’s the first phase of the upgrade, which will bring it up to speed with the current site in many ways. Additional functionality will be added every few weeks after that. One of the biggest new features in this update will be the …
DFL update
My boss wants a nice looking front-end to the new DFL site, even if all the links are broken, so expect something next week. As it currently stands the new design is going to borrow heavily from the current one, though it should use space a little bit better and display information a bit more …
Essential PHP Security

It’s pretty short – a smidgen over 100 pages, so it’ll be a good quick read. Plan on seeing practical examples of how to apply these security techniques – here. Merry …
Digital Fish Library
I’d like to introduce you to the Digital Fish Library, of which I’m a developer on. The idea of this library is to catalog MRI data from hundreds of fish species worldwide and provide online analysis tools. It’s like open source resarch, so to speak. Scientists can log in and do dissections and other analyses …
Coming from Blogger *shudder*
Blogger is nice and pretty, and somewhat easy to use, but it’s really not that great. After a few short days on the service I’m already switching to WordPress (here) for the moment, and probably soon to switch to my own hosted version of WP in coming weeks.
And thus we begin
Like so many others attending ApacheCon 2005, I’ve been inspired to begin blogging some of my web programming experience, so expect to see short explanations of my ideas, and probably several snippets of conceptual code. I’ve spent some time on the forums over at PHPBuilder from time to time as I develop for work, but …
