OpenID Again

Well I've upgraded to a later version of Drupal and this version conveniently has a nice third party module to support OpenID. That's good because the provider I used originally seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. Now I can use my website as my OpenID and have the whole thing handled by VeriSign. Yea!

Apple's iPhone 2.0

Well one year into the iPhone era. Millions have been sold and now the next generation is cheaper and better. The issues that enterprises were unhappy about seem to have evaporated in this new version of the phone. Software developers finally have an API that can be used to write more than a simple widget and a store to sell and download their applications into people's phones. GPS has been added. All that seems to be missing is a video camera function and voice dialing.

Apple's iPhone

Well it was almost two years ago I wrote about waiting for the Apple phone. (right here) Now it's announced, and the furor has subsided, so let's see how good my predictions were.

OpenID

OpenID looks like something worth investigating. I have signed up for a free OpenID with Videntity, and I will use their server to make this website function as my own personal OpenID. There is a Drupal module under development (but not yet upgraded to 5.1) so I hope that my site will become OpenID enabled in the near future.

DLL Hell and Windows tricks

Sometimes you find yourself in a situation where you just can't use all the tools you are accustomed to having. I had one of those weeks recently.

Thought I forgot about Lex?

Saw my previous post? Hey Yacc is only half the battle. So why don't I give it all away and post the lexical analyzer too? OK I will. But I hope you appreciate how difficult it was to post this code since many of the characters in here have meaning to html as well.
