We’ve taken CALI Radio live. This little adventure in podcasting will initially feature interviews with CALI authors wherein they discuss the law and cases behind their CALI Lessons.
The first 2 episodes feature Prof. Lawrence Wilkins, Indiana University – Indianapolis and Professor Scott Burnham, The University of Montana School of Law. The feed is here.
Novell Announces New Product Lifecycle Policy
The new policy gives 7 year support lifecycles to Novell’s OS products including SuSE Linux Enterprise Server.
NOVELL: Product Support Lifecycle
“Novell’s Product Support Lifecycle provides consistent and predictable support availability guidelines, allowing you to effectively plan and manage your support needs. This lifecycle model took effect on 3 August 2005 and applies to most products currently available on Novell’s price list. To verify the lifecycle dates for a specific product, search in the “support status by product” tool on the right column of this page.“
OPML Community Server Release on the horizon?
I hope to see this soon. We’ve been thinking about the impact of shared outlines on legal education. Can you say virtual study groups? It is not hard to imagine law students finding the OPML Outliner very useful and adding a CALI sponsored community server into the mix is a good thing:)
GEEKS.OPML.ORG :
“The OPML Community Server, the blogging software, membership system, file system back-end and directory displayer. The goal here is to make it fairly painless to set up and administer.“
IBM on Migrating Web Apps from IE to Mozilla
Migrate apps from Internet Explorer to Mozilla
“Ever have trouble getting your Internet Explorer-specific Web applications to work with Mozilla? This article covers common issues associated with migrating applications to the open source Mozilla-based browser. You’ll first learn basic cross-browser development techniques, and then develop strategies for overcoming the differences between Mozilla and Internet Explorer.“
Compromise Windows With USB Device
Of interest to teknoids, especially with more and more schools handing out USB keys like candy.
USB Devices Can Crack Windows
“Vulnerabilities in USB drivers for Windows could allow an attacker to take control of locked workstations using a specially programmed Universal Serial Bus device, according to an executive from SPI Dynamics, which discovered the security hole.“
A Better CALI Booth?
Perhaps we could do some cool things for the CALI booth with this sort of thing. It would certainly spiff up the AALS and AALL booths.
MAKE: Blog: HOW TO build a trade show booth on a budget
ou work your guts our on your software product only to go to the show and sit on folding chairs in front of a banner? No more!… Now you can build yourself a trade show booth using nothing but stuff from Home Depot and Kinkos!
DittyBot: iTunes on Your Phone
Plastic Bugs – Home of the ‘Original’ GIMPshop » Blog Archive » DittyBot – An Applescript Adventure
“You send a text message from your mobile phone to your POP email account. Your text message should contain the keywords of a song title (and possibly an artist name) that you want to hear. DittyBot finds that email (he checks Mail every 45 seconds) and copies the song name into a text file. The song name is then copied into iTunes and a playlist is created from your search. Next, DittyBot loads Skype (the internet telephony app) and begins calling your mobile phone. Your mobile phone rings and when you pick it up, you should hear your song start playing in all its compressed glory. “
Picked this up via MAKE blog. While it is all about using AppleScript for cool iTunes stuff, it does provide a bit of a road map on how we can get Classcaster to route around complex menuing issues. Following the Dittybot map, a student sends an email to a specific address including the name of a lecturette in the message. We grab this via POP, extract the info, locate the MP3 and then have Classcaster call the number associated with the from address and play the lecturette. Will require user registration, but it could be a cool feature.
The Future of Law Libraries Video Online
Future of Law Libraries Symposium Video
This symposium was held on March 10 & 11, 2005 at Amelia Island Plantation. It was organized by Florida Coastal School of Law and sponsored by Thomson West and the Infilaw System.
A Listing of Legal Etnics Sites
This list includes the LII materials on legal ethics
. It occurs to me that this is some space that CALI might get further into. We have a handful of Lessons
in this area, but it is an area that is of ongoing concern to all prationers (or should be). A reference library of Lessons linked to the LII materials would be something that would generate interest among attornies.
