Sandy, you made my dream come true. I was waiting long for this update. I am using this new version very successfully since last few months. I liked the newly added features especially the PHP 5 compatibilty and the reporting features. Thanks...

The Ghost of PT Barnum: Google Web Accelerator Fix in CVS

nospam@example.com (The Ghost of PT Barnum) — Sun, 24 Sep 2006 02:22:24 -0400

Giggling Madly Here - PT Barnum Would Have Been Proud! This is a great program for those users who don't know anything at all regarding how computers and/or the internet actually works, and who just want to experience the "feel good illusion" of (not really) increased speed by having this entirely useless acceleration program on their hard drive. I always laugh out loud whenever anyone proudly exclaims: "The program 'says' I saved 6.9 hours, so I'm very satisfied!" Big deal; the program could also say: "You're now twice as good-looking" or perhaps even "Congratulations youre a millionaire!" Without being able to verify any programs' "claims" (or better put 'assertions'); it is just that: A totally unverifiable assertion! Still you've got to admire Google's chutzpa here! I'm guessing that it has to be the most hilarious bit of shell-game spyware ever invented by any company in the entire history of computer or Internet use and development. Very clever really, when you consider that the trade off is that users "think" they're getting "increased" internet speed; in exchange for revealing exact the name of every single webpage that you ever visit from the moment that you install Google Web Accelerator until (hopefully) the moment you wise up and remove it. After Google Web Accelerator is installed it does absolutely nothing to improve browsing. Also Google Web Accelerator collects copies of web pages, (including prefetched pages that you did not even visit), in the Google Web Accelerator cache on your computer. All this does in effect; is collect and store a gazillion MB of temp files every time you use it for a session of surfing. Try using something like CCleaner after running Google Web Accelerator and browsing the internet for a few hours and see the results for yourself! And Google gets to know the exact the name of every single webpage that you ever visit for products, news, banking, whatever! This is very valuable information to have; not only does Google know everything you click on, but you get absolutely nothing in return for this info. Finally, Google admits on their own support page that any and all passwords, e-mail addresses etc. you enter in a web form (e. g. when purchasing an item online) will be funneled via their systems. If you enter personally identifiable information (such as an email address) onto a form on an unencrypted web page, the sites will send this information through Google. Had he lived long enough to see this, P.T. Barnum; the person who coined the phrase: "A Sucker is Born Every Minute" would most certainly consider those who download, install and leave this program on their computers to be suckers indeed!

Sandy: SyntaxCMS 1.3 Released

We already have a couple of mailing lists running on Tigris, so you're welcome to join those. But forums sound like a good idea, and we may implement that (unfortunately all this stuff has to be done in and around our consulting work). We're planning on changing a number of things, but we're still hashing them out. One I can say with confidence is that we will definitely move to Subversion at some point. Likely we will move the rest to an all-encompassing site, including a demo, and we'll move faster if there is outside developer interest. But that's still up in the air--for now, try the mailing lists.

Conguralations for the 1.3 release. I have found this project from freshmeat. It seems to be promising in a overly crowded CMS arena. I have two questions: 1. will you open community forums? 2. will you setup a demo? I think these are the most important.

Shishank: SyntaxCMS 1.3 Nearly There

nospam@example.com (Shishank) — Sun, 16 Apr 2006 23:58:47 -0400

Thanks for the information Sandy. I do understand your concern but if we have timelines its easy to convince someone who is looking forward to use it and really interested in upcoming features. @S

Sandy: SyntaxCMS 1.3 Nearly There

nospam@example.com (Sandy) — Fri, 14 Apr 2006 08:06:54 -0400

No--every time I want to commit to one, I find something else that I want gone before we release. Most are just annoying, but some of the portability fixes cause regressions that we have to work around, and we don't have a great number of environments to test on--so these are being tested as we deploy for projects or upgrade existing sites, because we always deploy from the latest CVS snapshot and fix bugs during project testing. Everything is there in CVS, and had I more time I'd spin a beta or rc-1 release, so feel free to check it out. It's mostly there, but I want a completely bulletproof rollout or two before I say that other people should eat my cooking.

Some of the features listed in the Matrix appear to be out of date. Might be worth someone checking is carefully.

Oscar Merida: Mod_Rewrite Environment Variables

nospam@example.com (Oscar Merida) — Tue, 19 Apr 2005 09:52:51 -0400

Yes, we've just documented the mod rewrite behavior and since that's sufficient to fix it we've left it at that. If you can't change your apache configuration however, you can still reconstruct those variables from other elements of the $_SERVER array.
