Subscribe to comments directly from FeedDemon - nice!

Mon, 12 Jun 2006 14:51:26 GMT

Isn't that cool! A way to directly subscribe to the comments to a specific post directly from the RSS reader (FeedDemon in my case). Sweet! I took a look at the RSS feed source and it is due to the use of the Comment API (http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/) and the <wfw:commentRSS /> tag. This is a new feature added in FeedDemon 2.0.24 just out...

Domino SuperSearch

Wed, 07 Jun 2006 09:57:44 GMT

In the June issue of the LotusUserGroup.org Developer Tips Newsletter Duffbert writes about the Domino SuperSearch over at martinscott.com. Although a nice application what if the we had an application like that which also searched through all the blogs listed at dominoblogs.com? Wouldn't that be cool and a nice way to "take a penny, leave a penny"? :-)

If dominoblogs.com emitted an OPML file it could be consumed by a site that allows users to search the sites. Only issue I can see it the difference between search interfaces but it could be solved by people also submitting a search URL to the dominoblogs.com site.

Don't plan!!

Received a nice quote by John Preston of Boston University from my big brother:

"The nicest thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise and not preceded by a period of worry and depression."

Critical RealVNC vulnerability discovered

Sun, 21 May 2006 11:50:15 GMT

If you are running RealVNC for remote access you should make sure to upgrade the server software due to a recently discovered critical vulnerability. This is especially true if the VNC machine is available on the standard port and without VPN requirements.

"Using the following method, it is trivial to gain access to any RealVNC server without knowing the password. This allows full control of the target machine, with privilege levels equalling that of the user under which the RealVNC server runs - often full Administrator access on Windows desktops."
