Via Miia Ranta’s Blog I discovered that Adobe launched a Flash Linux plugin for the x64 architecture. The fastest way to install it on a Ubuntu 8.10 system is to download the package flashplugin-nonfree – 10.0.12.36ubuntu2~ppa1 from Kees Cook’s PPA. But if installing it, be warned that there is no guarantee that the plugin works. Also, before installing the package, remove the package nspluginwrapper by doing
sudo apt-get remove nspluginwrapper
Though there is no guarantee that the plugin works as expected (it is an alpha prerelease version afterall), it seems to work perfect for me. It has made it possible for me to watch the full episodes of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Yay!

Oh, and the result? A way to visualize code written in the GEZEL hardware description language as graphs and a complete multiplatform editor for GEZEL code.

Do NOT install libflash-mozplugin and libflash0c2 – they will break your gecko-based browser.

Well, hello 1.0.
In a time where almost everything must have the version stamp 2.0 to be cool, I have just completed bug fixes and corrections for the 1.0 version of the pc_user authentication library for CodeIgniter. As the last time I announced pc_user, it can be found on the pc_user page.
Till next time

pc_user is a lightweight authentication library for CodeIgniter. It focuses on simplicity and security. Using the library, you are able to create users, make them log in and out and use secure user hashes for table relations. Logins can be restricted by a maximum number of login retries, it is possible to log in using a cookie and it is possible to use both email and username as login-identifier. Also, user-authentication by email is supported, and the library will give you proper error codes, which you can handle the way you want.
Please comment if you have any suggestions or praise. Contact me if you find bugs in the library.
