This post is just to announce that I’ve decided to release the latest version of my very own Web Content Management System (WCMS). The somewhat strange numbering merely reflects that the WCMS has passed the beta stages and are running several production sites, BUT hasn’t been publicly released until now.

Anything related to the WCMS will be dealt with at its very own project page. I will also post more on the current and forthcoming features along with bug reports and general support. I would like to mention that since this is a Sole proprietorship I might not be able to answer all questions, and it does require some HTML/PHP skills to benefit the max. However, given it’s simple structure, I believe the WCMS could fit in as a very good system to build on for a variety of purposes.

Download(s) are available at the usual place.

Last week Google launched a new service called Google AJAX Feed API, an API which is supposed to make it easier to develop “mashup’s” in JavaScript. A “mashup” is a web page or web application that combines the content from one or several sources into one uniform solution.

With Google’s new solution developers are (should be) able to combine feeds through only a few lines of JavaScript. It supports both Atom and RSS feeds.

Google AJAX Feed API can be used free of charge, but does require signing up for a single Google API key.

Marsu has reported a vulnerability in Adobe Photoshop, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user’s system. SecurityFocus has provided a code example on their website.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the handling of Bitmap files (e.g. .BMP, .DIB, .RLE) and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted Bitmap file.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS3. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Do not open untrusted Bitmap files.

I’ve been a Liverpool fan ever since I saw my first English Premiership match around 30 years ago. I do not talk to much about it, but I do enjoy watching them play. After this weeks game LFC qualified for next years Champions League and also took a step closer towards claiming 3rd place in the premiership this year.

Besides the fact that the coach is Spanish they also have several other Spanish blokes on the squad. Among them a fantastic goalkeeper, Pepe Reina.

What record does Pepe Reina now hold that is better than the likes of Ray Clemence and Bruce Grobbelaar? We can reveal that the Spanish stopper has the best post-war record of clean sheets in his first 100 starts.

Reina, who played his 100th game for Liverpool against Wigan Athletic on Saturday, has kept 55 clean sheets. Clemence kept 51 clean sheets in his first 100 starts for Liverpool, Grobbelaar has 50 while Istanbul hero Jerzy Dudek had 45 shut outs in his first 100 starts.

A bit later today Liverpool will face Chelsea in the semifinals in this years European Championship, so keep your fingers crossed.

P.S. I know this is a bit “off-topic” compared to my usual ramblings, but hey it’s a blog isn’t it
