Brian Jepson’s Weblog

Part of my .procmailrc that looks for the virus (apologies for
dropping legit messages that match this):

:0
* > 30000
* ^X-Priority: 3
* ^X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
/dev/null

Here’s the part that gets rid of most of the erroneous server reports
that claim someone at jepstone.net sent them a virus:

:0B:
* ^From:.*@jepstone.net
* ^X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
/dev/null

Since everyone knows that the sender address is forged, who are
these people who set up their servers to bounce the message to the
forged address? What’s the point in that? You’re wasting my bandwidth
and yours.

I’ve heard about some full-time/permanent C# positions in the New York
metro area that need filling immediately. If you come across this post
within the next couple of weeks, and are interested, get in touch
(bjepson at jepstone dot net). It’s senior-level and there’s a lot of
customer contact.

Joel
Pobar: “Yes, there is going to be a Rotor Whidbey that’s based on
the Whidbey CLR sources. Yes, there is a team of people dedicated to
shipping and supporting Rotor. Yes, the CLR team owns it.”

Jeremy
Zawodny: “RSS may not be perfect, but it’s good enough. That train
left the station quite a while ago.”

Eric has patched Rotor to compile under Panther. This is great news–I’d been using the binaries I compiled on Jaguar, but I’ve been itching to rebuild under 10.3’s toolchain.

Robert Hurlbut has some coverage
here and points to Benjamin
Mitchell’s coverage.

Sam Gentile posted his notes on the Rotor BOF that he co-hosted
last night. Thanks, Sam, for helping to run that BOF!

Eric’s Weblog: “JNib is a set of Java
classes that translate Carbon nib files into a Swing UI at runtime, much as IBCarbonRuntime translates the same nibs into
a Carbon UI.” (Eric is looking for someone to take this over and put it up somewhere like SourceForge.)

Rael’s
got some more details on doing MIDP development on Mac OS X.

Thinking in
.NET: “the article is about an application that I’ve been working on
with the guys at 3Leaf (aka Early and Adopter) that’s a .NET interface
to Global Positioning System (GPS) devices.”
