“VirtueDesktops” is a virtual desktop manager for Mac OS. It offers features, eye candy and configurable options that no other desktop manager on the mac has added yet, and is under active development. It is based upon DesktopManager, which is a lighter, less feature-packed virtual desktop application.

This is the best desktop manager for OS X. Superior to Desktop Manager. Nicest feature: Command-Tab will switch desktops if you select an application that is not on the current desktop. Ver' nice.

Kimbo Slice is a 32 year-old Miami, Florida based underground boxer and street fighter. He has appeared in three full length bare-knuckle fights available through the internet and P2P file-sharing networks.

Why not add to the Kimbo Slice hits? :)

Apparently much of what we know about Kimbo slice is untrue. The wiki lists three fights, including a new one with "Rasta," from which Kimbo emerged the victor.

--post-data=string
--post-file=file
Use POST as the method for all HTTP requests and send the specified data in the request body. --post-data sends string as data, whereas --post-file sends the contents of file. Other than that, they work in exactly the same way.

Please be aware that Wget needs to know the size of the POST data in advance. Therefore the argument to --post-file must be a regular file; specifying a FIFO or something like /dev/stdin won't work. It's not quite clear how to work around this limitation inherent in HTTP/1.0. Although HTTP/1.1 introduces chunked transfer that doesn't require knowing the request length in advance, a client can't use chunked unless it knows it's talking to an HTTP/1.1 server. And it can't know that until it receives a response, which in turn requires the request to have been completed – a chicken-and-egg problem.

Note: if Wget is redirected after the POST request is completed, it will not send the POST data to the redirected URL. This is because URLs that process POST often respond with a redirection to a regular page, which does not desire or accept POST. It is not completely clear that this behavior is optimal; if it doesn't work out, it might be changed in the future.

This example shows how to log to a server using POST and then proceed to download the desired pages, presumably only accessible to authorized users:

# Log in to the server. This can be done only once.
wget --save-cookies cookies.txt \
--post-data 'user=foo&password=bar' \
http://server.com/auth.php

# Now grab the page or pages we care about.
wget --load-cookies cookies.txt \
-p http://server.com/interesting/article.php

If the server is using session cookies to track user authentication, the above will not work because --save-cookies will not save them (and neither will browsers) and the cookies.txt file will be empty. In that case use --keep-session-cookies along with --save-cookies to force saving of session cookies.

So August 6 at the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association's convention in Oklahoma City, my company Lucision, is releasing version 1.0 of our eMpower Lite global reporting system for casinos. It ties reports from different vendors into a single database for easy viewing through our web reporting system.

Our new web page is up at www.lucision.com but I still have to fix a few things.

Anyway, we are going to be doing branded give-aways. Here's some things we are considering off of www.branders.com:

http://lucision.com/legal/rjurney/Screw_Driver.jpeg
http://lucision.com/legal/rjurney/Screw_Driver_2.jpeg

The screw drivers are really useful, and are the only give-away I ever end up keeping and using. The brains are... well I'm leaning towards the brains. I want to put them in a big blue barrell labeled 'brain trust' and then hand them out. They're a bit more expensive than the screw drivers, but would generate more buzz.

Platypus is a powerful developer tool for creating application wrappers around scripts, i.e. for creating MacOS X applications that execute a bundled script. Scripts can thus be run seamlessly from the graphical window environment, making elegant Mac OS X-native applications from scripts.

Here are some of the features Platypus has to offer:

* Supports shell scripts, Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, Expect, Tcl, AppleScript
* Supports arbitrary interpreter -- thus support for any script type
* Executing scripts with root privileges via Apple's Security Framework
* Drag and drop files, which are passed to the script as arguments
* Graphical feedback of script execution: progress more...

"This can be used as a standard PC on standard power," MacLellan told ZDNet UK, "or it can be used with power-over-Ethernet, and that really makes it efficient."

A basic Jack PC costs �209 without monitor or keyboard. At a low price and using low power, MacLellan believes the device is "one of the biggest developments in PCs that we have seen" and is one of the "ever-growing range of thin clients, which are rapidly replacing PCs as a more effective desktop computing solution for modern businesses".

The Jack PC runs Windows CE, is designed to connect to "any terminal server-based environment" and has Citrix ICA and Microsoft RDP clients built in.

Kinda neat. For simple home installation using existing jacks, I'd like to see one with power jack(s) as well, but I realize that packaging that would be difficult. These would be nice to put in a new house, in the kitchen, bathroom, by the couch, in the bedrooms, on a covered patio. I spent several months building a house last year, and I wish we'd put this in it. Very nice. With a single PC acting as a server, you could do an awful lot with this, some LCDs and wireless keyboards. You could route the monitor/usb out the back and embed a touchscreen in a wall for alarm and audio control. Lots of applications for a convenient package.

It is well accepted that post dural puncture headaches (PDPHA) are a risk of spinal anesthesia or analgesia as well as other procedures in which the dura is punctured. The problem of these potential headaches in our current practice of anesthesiology continues to be a concern. The redesign of needles to minimize the risk of headache has certainly improved the likelihood of uncomplicated spinal anesthesia. The redesign has resulted in the availability of smaller gauge needles as well as needles with different shape tips including pencil point needles. The engineering goal has been to create a puncture which disrupts the structure of the dura as little as possible and allows this minimal puncture to heal spontaneously. When prevention fails we must treat the complication. There are various conservative therapies. The use of caffeine both orally and intravenously has become more popular also with substantial success. The invasive therapy of epidural blood patches generally follows failed conservative treatment.

I had one of these today. After being layed up in bed for weeks eating pain pills like candy, I was cured in 5 minutes. God bless the blood patch. They found a good vein, tapped just outside of the spinal dura (OW!), tapped the vein for 15ccs of blood, then quickly squirted it into my back.

The pressure gave me a terrible headache for 5 minutes. Then my headaches, which were bothering me all morning and have made me unable to anything but lie around for more than two weeks, went away completely. Cured in 5 minutes.

This procedure is the bomb. Sounded crazy when I first heard of it, but it makes sense: the blood clots just outside the spinal dura, which in a spinal headache is leaking from a hole made during a spinal tap, and the hole is quickly patched.

Amen modern medicine.
