Searchable Weblog

Via James Strachan, a way for FreeRoller users (and others) to get their own search engine. While Search is definately on the Feature List for Roller, it hasn't been an itch anyone has wanted to scratch (apparently). I keep thinking about it, but it just isn't a priority for me (and I'm hoping someone with real experience with Lucene will step up to the plate).

Roller comments broken?

Dave notes that the comment feature is broken on his site (and maybe in CVS). Mine is working fine, even on my "test" site (which is pretty close to CVS, last build the evening of Feb 6, 03). Have you been working on anything else that could have impacted it Dave?

Jakarta Commons Cache

Just so ya'll don't think I've a one-track-mind, I've contributed a Digester-based configuration mechanism to Commons Cache, which is used in Roller (damn, it is one-tracked) and I've used in a previous life/job. This is my little part in helping Cache get promoted to the Commons proper ;-)

Re: roadVision

Poor bastard, someone has given him a lot of rope and told him to go hang. Good luck, JB.

A nod to JPublish

It's only mentioned in passing, but I thought it great that the guy interview for this article mentioned Anthony Eden's JPublish. Unfortunately ZDNet didn't make it a link. Other open-source mentioned: JBoss, Velocity, Turbine, Tomcat, Eclipse, Thinlets.

Your Password Must Be at Least 18770 Characters ...

This is too funny, courtesy of Javva the Hutt. And from Microsoft's Knowledge Base:

If you log on to an MIT realm, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, click Change Password, type your existing MIT password, and then type a new, simple password that does not pass the dictionary check in Kadmind, you may receive the following error message:
Your password must be at least 18770 characters and cannot repeat any of your previous 30689 passwords. Please type a different password. Type a password that meets these requirements in both text boxes.
Note that the number of required characters changes from 17,145 to 18,770 with the installation of SP1.

NOTE: This is not a common case; it occurs only when you configure Windows 2000 to authenticate against an MIT Kerberos domain.[MSKB #276304]
