Those smart asses from Canon won't ship the ZoomBrowser EX installer, only updaters.

I've got an XP laptop.

So the what you should do is:

• Download and install ZoomBrowser 6.1.1a Updater
• Create a registery key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser Ex
• Restart the computer
• Download and install ZoomBrowser 6.4.1 Updater

Canon does not seem to know what is a multilanguage installer either. So choose carefully alternative downloads for the language you are looking for...

Thank you Canon for wasting my time!!

I had to work on a website in Finnish for a friend. With my server in France there was some issues with the encoding detection and the page was full of weird signs.

To fix this I created a .htaccess file to the website root directory and added the following line to force all the .html files to UTF-8

AddCharset UTF-8 .html

That's it! The web browser goes to UTF-8 encoding automatically.

• Generate key:

openssl genrsa -des3 -rand file1:file2:file3:file4:file5 -out server.key 1024

• remove encryption or will ask for the passphrase every time apache reboots:

openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.pem

• Generate CRS:

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

• Generate the self-signed sertificate:

openssl x509 -req -days 60 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

Virtual host definition:

<VirtualHost _default_:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/share/htdocs
ServerName www.domain.com

OAMK web magazine made an article about my story in Finland and my work with PyS60. Here's the link (in English :) ):

Guys!

Today I'm getting very pissed off with the building company where I'm living which clearly does everything to cut on budget for our crappy student buildings. So since a week we don't have any heating in the rooms anymore and it is between 2 - 5 degrees outside during the day, I don't know at night.

Since we don't have to pay for electricity and that I have 4 desktop machines + one laptop I came out with a solution for heating my room: the boolean heater :)

The idea is quite simple: keep your processor(s) busy in order to create some heat from the extraction fans!

Current development

Create a roomheater.py file. Here is the source :D

#!/usr/bin/env python
# file: roomheater.py
# author: LEFEVRE Damien
# version: 0.1
# description: boolean room heater
# Copyrights 2006-2007 LEFEVRE Damien
print """********************************************************************************
                           Welcome to the boolean room heater
                                              by:
                                   LEFEVRE Damien
********************************************************************************
"""
while 1: pass

And then run:

>>>python romheater.py

Voila! :D

I get the following results:

• PIII: processor 100% in use
• Sempron 2600: processor 100% in use (very good heater!)
• Core 2 Duo: processor 50% in use (so I can still work)

I just hope you'll be able to stand the noise ;)

Future development

Hard disks are producing a very good quantity of heat. Once I find a dummy task to perform on disks that would create heat, I'll add it right away to the application ;)

With my best regards,

Damien
