Adam Goldstein, author of "AppleScript: The Missing Manual," has hand selected ten of the most useful tips for making AppleScript work for you. http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2005/02/01/applscrpt_mm.html ***Output Like a Pro with iPhoto 5 Earlier, Derrick Story discussed how iPhoto 5's RAW capability lets you input like a pro.

Die habe ich gelesen, allerdings ist dort das Tool zum Anfordern von Webspace und Mailinglisten schon seit laengerem kaputt. Bugreport ist raus, ich habe auch eine ID dazu ([perl #33005]) , aber seitdem hat sich nichts mehr getan. Egal, man kann sich auch ohne "offizielle" Mailingliste und Homepage treffen. Vielen Dank und schoene Gruesse, Achim From judith_dohmann at mac.com Sun Feb 20 13:36:09 2005 From: judith_dohmann at mac.com (Judith Maria Nefertari Dohmann) Date: Sun Feb 20 13:36:23 2005 Subject: [Bielefeld-pm] Pudding! (die zweite, ohne Bild) Message-ID: Hallo liebe Perlmongers, der Pudding ist endlich einigermaßen fertig. Die Rechnung von letztem Mal hat mir sehr geholfen, aber ich war erst zu doof Formeln richtig umzustellen: Aus y = mx + m*r*(1/sin \beta - 1) machte ich: 0 = y/m*x + m*r*(1/sin \beta - 1) Was dann zwar fast richtig aussah, aber noch ne doofe Kante erzeugte. Als das dann korrigiert war, musste ich noch den gewobbelten Kegel auf der richtigen Höhe abschneiden, da stellte ich mich dann auch noch ein bisschen blöd an, und es gab da rauhe Ecken, die etwa ein Pixel breit waren. Aber jetzt sieht es ganz gut aus. Hier die Formel für die neugierigen ;-) union { isosurface { function { max ( y + m*(sqrt(pow(x,2)+pow(z,2)) - R - r*f_wobbel(x,z) ) - m*r*f_wobbel(x,z)*(1/sin(atan(m)) -1) , y - 1/m*(sqrt(pow(x,2)+pow(z,2)) - R))} contained_by { box {<-2.5,-2,-2.5>, <2.5,0.2,2.5>} } // container shape //threshold 0.0 // optional threshold value for isosurface [0.0] accuracy 0.0001 // accuracy of calculation [0.001] max_gradient 4 // maximum gradient the function can have [1.1] } isosurface { function { f_torus (x,y,z,R,r*f_wobbel(x,z) )} contained_by { box {<-1.4,-0.5,-1.4>, <1.4,0.5,1.4>} } // container shape threshold 0.0 // optional threshold value for isosurface [0.0] accuracy 0.0001 // accuracy of calculation [0.001] max_gradient 3 // maximum gradient the function can have [1.1] } cylinder { 0*x, -1*y, 1 } } Ich hoffe, die Mailingliste kommt mit Attachments klar, dann seht ihr hier den Pudding: ...

Bauer in reference to hackers. In this article, Michael discusses why information security professionals demonize hackers and why that tendency is both irrational and counterproductive. Michael is the author of "Linux Server Security, 2nd Edition." http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2005/02/11/mbauer_1.html ***Object Oriented PHP Programming & Performance Harry explores the trade-offs between object oriented and procedural programming in PHP in a lengthy discussion on the pros and cons of each. http://www.sitepoint.com/blog-post-view.php?id=223760 ***Michael Stutz on Computer Outlook/KLAV Radio Listen to the author of No Starch's "The Linux Cookbook, 2nd Edition." http://computeroutlook.com/audiostudio.html ***Writing Apache's Logs to MySQL Adding a few performance statistics to your Apache httpd logs can help you profile your applications. Digging through flat files for information is a drag, though. Logging to a relational database can make reporting and analysis much more convenient. Chris Josephes demonstrates how to install and configure mod_log_mysql and shows off what you can do with it. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/apache/2005/02/10/database_logs.html --------------------- Mac --------------------- ***iPod shuffle Tips and Tricks The iPod shuffle is the easiest-to-use iPod to date. But that doesn't mean you can't customize how you listen and upload music. Scott Knaster shows you some very handy tips and tricks for the shuffle and iTunes 4.7.1. http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2005/02/15/shuffle.html ***Apache and AppleScript AppleScript traditionally interacts with Mac applications and Apache is the web server that powers most of the Internet. David Miller shows you how AppleScript can invoke Unix utilities through its do shell script command, thereby creating some interesting intersections with Apache. http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2005/02/11/applescript.html --------------------- Windows/.NET --------------------- ***Encrypting Connection Strings in Web.config One of the best practices in ASP.NET is to save your database connection strings in the Web.config file instead of hard-coding it in your code. It's not such a good idea to save your connection strings as plain text in Web.config--you should ideally encrypt the connection strings so it leaves no chance for a potential hacker to easily get more information about your database server. In ASP.NET 2.0, Microsoft has taken this further by allowing you to encrypt the connection strings in Web.config, all without much plumbing on your part. In this new article by Wei-Meng Lee, he shows you how it works. http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2005/02/15/encryptingconnstring.html ***Building the Perfect Budget PC, Part 1 You can build a powerhouse system without breaking the bank. In this first part of a two-part article, Robert Bruce Thompson and Barbara Fritchman Thompson, authors of "Building the Perfect PC," show you which components to buy. http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2005/02/15/Perfect_BudgetPC.html --------------------- Java --------------------- ***JDMK and Legacy IT Management Keeping a network with legacy (and possibly unreliable) devices is nearly impossible without some automated help. Stephen Morris shows how to use the Java Dynamic Management Kit to keep tabs on your network and find potential points of failure. http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/02/16/jdmk.html ***Eclipse Plugins Exposed, Part 1: A First Glimpse Many developers use Eclipse out of the box as an IDE, never investigating its powerful extensibility. But as Emmanuel Proulx shows in this first installment of a new series, Eclipse's modular system of plugins allow you to customize it to your suit your development needs. http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/02/09/eclipse.html --------------------- Digital Media --------------------- ***High Definition in Focus at 2005 Sundance Festival Cheaper than film, bigger and better than plain, old digital video, high-definition digital video definitely came into its own during this year's Sundance Film Festival. According to Sony, nearly half of the features, documentaries, and shorts screened in Park City were shot in HD. Susan Boyer reports. http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2005/02/09/hd.html ***Raymond Soemarsono: Natural Eye Some people are meant to be artists. Self-taught photographer Raymond Soemarsono has a natural eye for composing stunning landscape scenes, then taming his digital camera to record them according to his vision. His gallery features many places with which you're probably familiar. Maybe it's time to get in the car and revisit them? http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2005/02/16/featured.html --------------------- Web --------------------- ***Introduction to Browser Specific CSS Hacks CSS leaves your layout open to interpretation by browsers...or does it?

Ob das geht, weiss ich nicht, aber in diesem Fall dachte ich, dass das den Rest nicht interessiert.

Man könnte noch überlegen, ob man statt des Wobbel-Kegelabschnitts eine Form mit runder Außenseite nimmt, aber dann will ich die Schnittpunkte nicht berechnen müssen ;) Gruß, Christian From c.duehl at gmx.de Mon Feb 21 08:08:14 2005 From: c.duehl at gmx.de (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?=22Christian_D=FChl=22?=) Date: Mon Feb 21 08:08:22 2005 Subject: [Bielefeld-pm] Morgiges Treffen References: <20050221091311.M62766@xgn.de> Message-ID: <2870.1109002094@www56.gmx.net> > ansonsten beschäftige ich mich im moment mit dem Safe Modul, mit dem ich > es > möglich machen will, untrusted (von unsicherer quelle bezogenen) code > auszuführen. hab wohl noch nicht viel damit gemacht, könnte aber kurz > sagen, > worum es dabei geht. klasse währ, wenn sich sonst schon mal jemand damit > beschäftigt hätte.

Ich bin für s/w. > p.s. kann man die mailingliste nicht so einstellen, dass die > antwortadresse > passend auf die mailingsliste zeigt? Könnte man. An der Stelle wird aber gewarnt und gemeint, es gäbe sehr gute Gründe, die Einstellung auf 'Absender' zu belassen: "reply_goes_to_list (general): An welche Adresse sollen die Antworten auf Nachrichten der Liste gesendet werden? Absender wird dringend empfohlen für die meisten Mailinglisten. This option controls what Mailman does to the Reply-To: header in messages flowing through this mailing list. When set to Poster, no Reply-To: header is added by Mailman, although if one is present in the original message, it is not stripped. Setting this value to either This list or Explicit address causes Mailman to insert a specific Reply-To: header in all messages, overriding the header in the original message if necessary (Explicit address inserts the value of reply_to_address). There are many reasons not to introduce or override the Reply-To: header. One is that some posters depend on their own Reply-To: settings to convey their valid return address. Another is that modifying Reply-To: makes it much more difficult to send private replies. See `Reply-To' Munging Considered Harmful for a general discussion of this issue. See Reply-To Munging Considered Useful for a dissenting opinion. Some mailing lists have restricted posting privileges, with a parallel list devoted to discussions. Examples are `patches' or `checkin' lists, where software changes are posted by a revision control system, but discussion about the changes occurs on a developers mailing list. To support these types of mailing lists, select Explicit address and set the Reply-To: address below to point to the parallel list." Ich hab aber nichts dagegen, es umzustellen. Wenn wir der Meinung sind, es trotzdem besser auf die Liste umzustellen, dann mach ich das.
