A nice little pile of books arrived from Amazon yesterday for
my birthday. Being a slow reader, that should keep me going
for a good few months :-)
The one I've started with, "Unlocking the Sky: Glen Hammond
Curtiss and the Race to Invent the Airplane", was Tiemann's
recommendation on Red
Hat's summer reading list. It
seems to be a really good read
which appears at first glance to be totally unrelated, but actually
very relevant, to what we're all doing here.
I've looked at NoMachine NX a
couple of times before but never really got down to the nitty gritty
details about how the thing works. This time I was determined to figure
it out and I've written it
down.
The work Caolan and I have been doing on terminal services over
VNC is part of a bigger picture plan to really start making
VNC useful across all "remote desktop" use cases.
Here's a writeup
of the use cases and how the thing will work.
At least twice previously I've gone off and figured out what this whole
OpenSSL GPL incompatibility thing is all about and, in pretty short
order, completely forgotten the details again. Well, this time I've
written
it down so I
won't forget.
So, I've got working patches now for TLS/SSL support in the
C++
and
Java VNC
clients. That was all pretty boring since I'd already
(months ago) written a bunch of test code with
GNU TLS and the
Java Secure Socket Extension.
I'm sure there's a moral to that, but I can't quite put my finger on
it ...
