Joost 0.9.0 is out, and looks good.

Well, just to let you know that the new version of the client for the Joost service is out.
Being in the beta since 0.7.x, I have to say it has always been getting better at each minor and major release, and this one is no exception (tested on Mac/Intel 10.4.9, Windows later).
As the others, it’s a beta: it could kill the cat or your sex life.
Or both.
Provided you have at least one of them.
Yes, I’m perfectly safe – thanks for pointing this out.
Anyway, I never experienced any problems, so I feel confident there will be none.

Please forgive me if at first I share the (very few) invites I have with friends, I will post again to share all the remaining ones (if any).

*UPDATE* April 11th: I just received an email saying that 0.9.2 is available, and considering that I’ve never seen two minor releases coming out in a week, I’ll keep my mouth shut next time. :)

God bless April, 1st

As usual, many new products and news get released on April, 1st.
The most amusing:
* Google has released two new products! Gmail Paper, and Google TiSP (install)
* ThinkGeek has many new exciting items on sale: the Vilcus Plug Dactyloadapter, the SurgeStix – Inhalable Caffeine Stix, the Sn…«zNL…«z – Wifi Donation Alarm Clock and my favourite, the 8-bit Tie!
* C|Net News is running a very interesting news page
* update: Ryanair is offering flights to the moon.

Like last year, still no RFC in sight. If I had knew, I would have sent No Frills in. :)

*UPDATE* I know it’s late, but rfc4824 came out: “The Transmission of IP Datagrams over the Semaphore Flag Signaling System (SFSS)

Mark Russinovich e il kernel di Vista

In questo interessante articolo (in inglese), Mark Russinovich (ex-Sysinternals) parla di alcune delle feature di sicurezza, disponibilita` ed altro implementate nel kernel di Windows Vista.
Ad una occhiata rapida, e per quello che ho letto negli ultimi mesi, mi sembra davvero che la parte piu` interessante e bella del nuovo sistema operativo di Microsoft stia sotto l’appariscente interfaccia.

Da utente Mac, mi rammarico invece che molte delle nuove funzionalita` che Vista ha pare non siano state introdotte in MacOSX 10.5 che probabilmente sara` in uscita tra Aprile e Maggio.
Me ne rammarico soprattutto in quanto si tratta, a mio modo di vedere, di caratteristiche cosi` profonde che se non vengono lanciate in una major release difficilmente le vedremo in una delle versioni del train 10.5.x.

Mi rendo conto di essere stato poco chiaro, ma il post era nato semplicemente per segnalare il link: magari nei prossimi giorni stendero` un breve riassunto commentato di quello che possiamo (o potremo) trovare come feature di sicurezza in 10.4, Vista e la “proiezione” su 10.5.
