Whirlycache

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on some ideas for a Java object cache and now there’s some code to back it up. Seth Fitzsimmons was kind enough to go to the trouble of writing some code and setting up some project space on whirlycache.dev.java.net. That’s where you can monitor our progress. From what I can tell, Whirlycache is the fastest Java object cache around today. I’d love to know if I am wrong about that.

maybe there is hope beyond jcs and jisp?

Emailcrew

my friend doug is easing into his new role at MGM Mirage as technology coordinator for permission-based email campaigns. to this end, he created emailcrew.

EmailCrew.com aspires to be to email marketing professionals what A List Apart (ALA) is to web design professionals; a forward-thinking resource for the responsible yet effective design and distribution of content. Where ALA focuses on the browser, EmailCrew will focus on the email client and the tools and techniques used to deliver opt-in, permission-based, rich-media email campaigns.

it will be interesting to watch this one unfold with pundits declaring the death of email.

dns tunnel

Compass Security hat in Zusammenarbeit mit der Fachhochschule Rapperswil (HSR) durch die Diplomanden Rene Herrmann und Christian Bernet eine Test-Suite für DNS Tunneling entwickelt. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Windows Client Programm, welches mit einem Compass DNS Server via DNS Pakete in Verbindung treten will. Gelingt dies, kann der DNS Tunnel Test gestartet werden. Andernfalls wird eine Info Box angezeigt, dass das Netzwerk gegenüber DNS Tunneling geschuetzt ist.

what do you know. my friend rene herrmann implemented a sneaky little dns tunnel. that kid needs a web site.
