• Haru : There is a brand new PECL extension for Haru written by Antony Dovgal which was released last week in version 1.0. Sounds interesting !
• FPDF : These are mostly PHP classes. The author claims that it is not as fast as PDFLib but says it performs well. I have already tried this solution before and it was working very well but I was only producing PDF invoices for an e-commerce site. Building a full catalogue might be too much for it. The nice thing is its companion class FPDI which can also import existing PDF files and worked for me the last time I tried.
• TCPDF : In the same vein as FPDF, these are a set of PHP classes for generating PDF documents. I need to have a look at it as well. It seems to work with FPDI too.
• Panda : There is also a PECL extension for Panda, but I am not sure it is maintained and the project didn't release anything for a long time.
• Cairo : Cairo has a backend for PDF rendering. Given its strengths in graphics, this can be interesting but I think it will be too limited in my case as I need to create documents with multiple pages. There is also a PECL Extension for Cairo (there are two actually, but the other one didn't make a release yet).

Steam game van de maand: Earth 2160

De steam game van de maand is geworden het spel Earth 2160 van Reality Pump (Zuxxez). Earth 2160 is 1 van de meest diepgaande RTS games die ik in een lange tijd heb gezien. Zoals bij eerdere delen kan je zelf je voertuigen ontwikkelen en produceren. Het onderzoekssysteem is nog uitgebreider. En met de nieuwe toevoeging van infanterie is het nog leuker geworden, je kan je infanterie zo uitgebreid managen als in Jagged Alliance 2, je kan squads maken en equippen met nieuwe guns, maar ook guns pakken van de tegenstander en die tegen ze gebruiken, ook kan je ze laten kruipen en regelen dat ze single-shot of burst-fire mode gebruiken, dat zie ik een westwood nog niet zo snel toepassen, subliem. En ook er is een nieuw ras erbij gekomen: de Aliens, die volgens velen bijna te sterk gemaakt zijn, maar elke faction heeft zijn zwakte, dus de game is wel goed gebalanseerd. De Lunar Corporation en de Amerikaanse faction hebben er hackers gekregen zodat je gebouwen van de vijand kan hacken.

Als je al je bases opbouwd merk je dat het nog ingewikkelder gaat als in het vorige deel, je hebt talloze opties en elke factie bouwt zijn bases op een compleet andere manier. Ook zijn verschillende nieuwe units toegevoegd. De graphics zijn ook geupdate die er erg goed uitzien en er zit ook een goede soundtrack in.

Als je een echte RTS fan bent, en Red Alert te makkelijk vind gaan dan voor een uitdaging, en wel eentje uit Polen, Earth 2160. Af te halen in de Steam Store voor maar 4,99 dollar... een betere prijs/kwaliteit ga je niet krijgen!

Hier een vette recap van de 1 van de makers van Earth 2160 over de historie van de Earth serie.

Leadership is simply influence. 
It is the ability of one person to influence others. 

One can lead others only to the extent that he can influence them to follow his leadership.

I think everyone of you are familiar with the word HACKING. When you hear this word, the first thing comes to your mind is  gaining access to computer without permission. In other words we can say hacking is breaking into computers or computer networks by avoiding safety measures. The title of this page features a teenage hacker. This is actually a review of confessions of teenage hackers by dan verton.

         In this iam going to explain you about how kids and teenagers become hackers. What factors lead them to become a hacker.  

Nieuwe Game van Zuxxez: X-Blades

Zuxxez ( hier valt ook Reality Pump onder ) het productiebedrijf van games van de Earth series (Earth 2160, Earth 2150), Jack Orlando en andere games, komt weer met een nieuwe game op de proppen: X-Blades. Op de website kreeg ik al gauw de indruk dat het om een fable-achtige hack & slash game gaat, het zal niet de eerste keer zijn dat Zuxxez een leuk gameconcept namaakt en leuk weet te verwoorden naar een nieuwe game, maar mij hoor je niet klagen, beter goed gejat dan slecht verzonnen.De game ziet er erg strak uit en oogt soepeltjes weg te spelen.

Het fable ingredient waar ik het over had is dat je in deze game je character helemaal kan ontwikkelen, en ook kan bepalen of character goed of slecht word.

Als Zuxxez een goede game als de Earth serie weet neer te zetten, ben ik er haast zeker van dat dit ook een goede game gaat worden, het ziet er heel veel belovend uit, en helaas zullen gamers nog even moeten wachten tot de game uit is want dat gaat pas gebeuren het eerste kwartaal van 2009. De game zal uitkomen voor de Playstation 3, Xbox360 en de PC.

REVIEW TO CHAPTER-1: "Genocide": From Columbine to Hacking

In this chapter explains about a teenage hacker named Genocide who is from such a background family who don’t even have electricity, telephone line and even water supply.

                                                                                                                            Genocide parents were divorced when he was 5 years and he was raised by his mother. When he was in school he was not interested in subjects like history, chemistry but show his interest only in computers from his childhood. At first he learned some social engineering techniques from his cousine tony and then he learned about telephone network and then he spent much time in spending school network. Genocide in order to complete his graduation upon time he need to pass chemistry but that was big deal to him. So he planed and find his teacher user ID and password by using social engineering techniques and he entered in to her account from school computer and he change his grade and then he graduated upon time Genocide was able to success into his first hack. After that Genocide mother joined part time courses in Alaska university. Genocide using his mother account he accessed in to university network and spent much in learning bulletin, commands, operating system, hardware etc. Then after Genocide tried in using simple commands such as Root…root etc nothing worked then he typed cat/etc/passwd it shadowed nothing. Then he tried to crack the program that decodes passwords using Brute force attack. Genocide first crack program was success in running but he could not complete the program to run because the administrator come to know someone was running crack program and genocide on the other observing that what others were doing and if any eyes were upon him. So he kill the program in the middle and he ran away quickly. Even though he was unsuccessful to end the crack program but he knew everything about the crack program. Then joined the same college in arts department and now he gained his own access in to the university.

                                                                                                          Then he started making hacking friends he got four friends named Wizdom, Astroboy, Alexu, and Malcom each of them are skilled in particular areas and they all shared the valuable information. The 5members of group was joined by 10 more each and every worked on different viruses and had seen which one is the best. Then they laid to the foundation of Genocide 2600 hacker group. This was a great time for Genocide to learn more skills on how to access to password files and cracking them, creating dictionary files brute force cracks etc. Genocide 2600 held meetings regularly and was recognized by university as a part of education activity. Once Genocide along with four friends scheduled a computer room and connected to local ISPs, either by polar net or Alaska net using PPP account and then get connected to server and from there to wherever they want in the university. Genocide also setup a web site on the university network named it Genocide 2600.  The website was quickly popular they shared valuable cracking and hacking information. Genocide started scanning the target system called “Moon” and then he gained the access which increased the value and visibility of Genocide 2600 web page. As a result page grew and the university had reported him take it off then he buried it deeper. One Friday when they conducted a meeting and discussed about the advanced tools and then meeting came to end every start leaving but a person was standing and requested Genocide to walk with him. Then he show his FBI credentials and said that they were investigating and said that they can prove Genocide involvement in hacking “Moon server”. Then Genocide told his mother that they were suspecting him for what he had

Problem ist die zentralisierte Intelligenz. Wenn es gelingen würde, jede Sendung so schlau zu machen, dass sie den Weg selber organiseren könnte, dann könnte dies Transportkosten, -dauer und -wege optimieren (wenn auch die Latte hoch hängt). benni formuliert genau so ein System jetzt drüben auf keimform.de im Detail aus: Peericle. Damit liesse sich auch die Effizienz des auf viel zu grossen Fahrzeugen basierenden Individual-Verkehrs steigern.

Eventuell wäre (als Vorläufer) auch eine weniger technologische und damit investions-intensive, dafür mehr organisatorische und durch soziale Mechanismen gestützte Form realisierbar. Anstelle von ausgeklügelten Sicherheitssystemen (welche nie wasserdicht sind), könnte ein transparantes Reputationssystem Missbräuche verhindern. Aber natürlich ist persönliche Post und (wertvolle) Ware ein heikles Gut ... weitere Ideen sind gefragt. Oder Investoren.

[Nachtrag] Inzwischen macht sich benni bereits selber Gedanken zu einer Low-Tech-Variante.
