Input Director
Input Director is a Windows application that lets you control multiple Windows systems using the keyboard/mouse attached to one computer. It is designed for folks who have two (or more) computers set up at home and find themselves regularly sliding from one system to the other (and wearing out the carpet in the process!). With Input Director, you can share a single keyboard/mouse across a set of systems. You switch which system receives the input either by hotkey or by moving the cursor so that it transitions from one screen to the other (in a very similar fashion to a multi-monitor setup). The idea being that you can position the monitors from two or more systems in a row and use a shared keyboard/mouse to control all of them.

Joda Time - Java date and time API
Joda-Time provides a quality replacement for the Java date and time classes. The design allows for multiple calendar systems, while still providing a simple API. The 'default' calendar is the ISO8601 standard which is used by XML. The Gregorian, Julian, Buddhist, Coptic, Ethiopic and Islamic systems are also included, and we welcome further additions. Supporting classes include time zone, duration, format and parsing.

Investing.
1. Income is as important as are capital gains. Because most investors ignore income
opportunities, income may be more important than are capital gains.
2. Most stock market indicators have never actually been tested. Most don’t work.
3. Most investors’ time horizons are much too short. Statistics indicate that day trading is largely
based on luck.
4. Bull markets are made of risk aversion and undervalued assets. They are not made of cheering and a rush to buy.
5. Diversification doesn’t depend on the number of asset classes in a portfolio. Rather, it depends on the correlations
between the asset classes in a portfolio.
6. Balance sheets are generally more important than are income or cash flow statements..
7. Investors should focus strongly on GAAP accounting, and should pay little attention to “pro forma” or “unaudited”
financial statements.
8. Investors should be providers of scarce capital. Return on capital is typically highest where capital is scarce.
9. Investors should research financial history as much as possible.
10. Leverage gives the illusion of wealth. Saving is wealth.

Free, unlimited IP address geolocation with MySQL
There are a lot of services and datasets that provide IP address geolocation, allowing you to detect a web user's city of origin based on their incoming IP. Unfortunately, most of these services cost quite a bit of money, impose limits on how many lookups you can do over a period of time, or aren't kept up to date with accurate information.
I came across a great resource today, put together by Marc-Andre Caron. He's done all the necessary legwork to solve this problem, putting together a free, monthly-updated MySQL dataset that will allow you to derive country, region, city, zip, latitude, and longitude from an IP address.
The IP addresses are listed in table ip_group_city. The data is not in the 1.1.1.1 format since it would need to be stored as text and we dont want that for obvious reasons.
Let say for ip A.B.C.D, the formula is
ip = (A*256+B)*256+C
(I assume A.B.C.0 is at the same location than A.B.C.255)
For example, if you have an ip of 74.125.45.100 (google.com)
The formula would give a result of :
ip = (74*256+125)*256+45 = 4881709
You would search for the IP address using MySQL by doing :
SELECT * FROM `ip_group_city` where `ip_start` menor o igual 4881709 order by ip_start desc limit 1;
Keep in mind that the accuracy of the data is usually down to the location of a user's ISP. Don't expect this to get you down to a street address, but if you want to display relevant content at a city, state, or country level, this will do the trick the vast majority of the time.
You know, IP addresses are just numbers to start with. The dotted-quad notation is just to make them easier for humans to deal with. MySQL has a built-in set of functions, inet_aton() and inet_ntoa() which convert IP address strings to/from their corresponding integers.
To get the equivalent integer from an IP using these functions;
mysql> select truncate( inet_aton("74.125.45.100") / 256, 0 );
+-------------------------------------------------+
| truncate( inet_aton("74.125.45.100") / 256, 0 ) |
+-------------------------------------------------+
| 4881709 |
+-------------------------------------------------+

Vista and hosts file
The standard way to resolve that is to find the hosts file and map your loopback address ( 127.0.0.1 ) to "localhost".
There's an issue connected to doing that on Vista.
The hosts file is considered a system file by Vista.
You have to first take ownership of it then grant yourself full control.
These are the two commands that you need to run from an elevated command prompt.
(Right click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator") :
1. takeown /f c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2. icacls c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts /grant yourusername:f
If you installed to a drive other than "c:", modify accordingly, of course.
Now you can open the file with notepad, insert this line and save the hosts file
( make sure it doesn't acquire a .txt extension ) :
127.0.0.1 localhost

Conoce como puede estar lista tu empresa para el Mercado Global con el Tutorial "Getting Ready for the Global Market" - Valley-Mexico mentoring grooms firms for growth
By Matt Marshall
Mercury NewsWhen Alberto Herrera started his own tech company in Tijuana two years ago, he was confident he had the knowledge to take on the risk.
His team had worked at Panasonic's office in the Mexican border city and had the technical expertise to craft a new kind of wireless sensor network -- one that can be used for hotel room key cards and turn on the heating system once a customer has entered his or her room.
But Herrera didn't have contacts with venture capitalists and didn't know how to spiff up a business plan.
That changed last year, once his company, Medida, started working with the Mexico-Silicon Valley Technology Business Accelerator (TechBA for short) in San Jose, funded by an annual $6 million grant from the Mexican government.
TechBA assigned a special adviser to Medida, to mentor it in Silicon Valley's arcane ways.
The help is part of an effort by the Mexican government to jump-start its technology economy -- in part through better connections to leading tech centers like Silicon Valley and their entrepreneurial cultures and practices.
Mexico's domestic information technology and software market totals more than $3 billion a year and has 2,095 companies, according to its economics ministry.
Mexico exports about $400 million in technology services each year to the United States, about half in business process outsourcing, half in software outsourcing. But Mexico wants to do more than supply its northern neighbor with a cheap source of labor, says Jorge Zavala, chief executive of TechBA. ``The question is, how do we switch from low value-added services and move into information technology?''
The goal of TechBA, he said, is to help create Mexican companies that own their own technology, and to export $5 billion in technology and other services by 2012.
In Herrara's case, TechBA appointed a mentor -- Adolpho Nemirosky, an Argentine entrepreneur who has worked in the valley's semiconductor and telecom industries for 13 years. He had co-founded a venture-backed company, Xtreme Logic, and was eager to help others. He is paid a stipend by TechBA.
His help has already gone a long way. Nemirosky taught Herrera how to make an elevator pitch -- that is, a two- to five-minute synopsis of his company, tailored for impatient investors. He advised him to focus on specific areas, such as sensor systems for hotels and for entertainment software. And he took Herrera to meet with some professors at the University of California-Berkeley, where Herrera was able to secure a technology adviser.
To top it off, Nemirosky groomed Herrera to present to venture capitalists Tuesday evening at an event hosted by TechBA and an angel group called Silicom Ventures. Besides the investors, a live audience of more than 200 people looked on. And Herrara performed well enough that three of four venture capitalists invited him to talk with them further. ``I'm very pleased with him,'' Nemirosky said of his protege.
Currently, 40 companies participate in the TechBA program, and the group recently announced its first tangible success: Mexican company JackBe. The company, which has created Web sites for Sears and Citigroup's Mexico operations, raised $6.5 million in venture capital funding in November -- the first Mexican tech company to raise venture capital from the United States, according to TechBA's Zavala.
There are other signs of late that the U.S. venture capital market is waking to not only to Mexico, the world's ninth largest economy, but also to the fast-growing Hispanic market in this country.
Sausalito venture firm Sienna Ventures is now raising $100 million for its newest fund to focus on the Hispanic market.
Herrera's company, Medida, meanwhile, is expanding in the United States. It has $1 million in revenue after a year's work, 10 employees and an office in San Jose, where employees can drop in from Tijuana. Silicon Valley is a good place to develop contacts for customers, said Herrera.
``We've gained visibility that would otherwise be very hard to get,'' he said.
One of his customers is XaviX, which makes interactive sports games and also has offices in San Jose. Medida provides XaviX wireless sensors for its newest fly-fishing game -- where the sensor detects when game players flick their wrists and feeds information back to the game.
Mexico is just the latest country trying to develop a network here in Silicon Valley.
Gadi Behar, managing director of Israeli-focused Silicom Ventures, has reached out to groups from Canada, Argentina, Brazil, the Netherlands and Hawaii, offering help such as crash courses on Silicon Valley's business culture. ``They all want access to Silicon Valley,'' agreed Michelle Messina, a public relations professional who has also helped companies in these groups.

- Novell Missteps Not Affecting SuSE
By CowboyNeal on ridin'-the-storm-out
OSS_ilation writes "Analysts and users agree -- if the layoff rumors at Novell prove true sometime soon, SuSE Linux has nothing to fear. Over at SearchOpenSource.com the word is that the popular SuSE Linux operating system has both the community support and technical chops to weather any personnel-related storms that may be lingering on the horizon. However, the point is also made that should Novell go south, there are those who believe SuSE could prove to be an appealing acquisition target."

Finding Signals in the Noise
Digg, Memeorandum, Findory, Blogniscient, and other startups promise to manage news overload on the Web.Few would dispute that we live in an age of information overload. In the last few years alone, blogs have increased the torrent of information each day to unmanageable levels.
This would explain, then, why a corresponding torrent of startups has surfaced recently to help us filter, manage, and control this flood of information. Some rely on insightful algorithms that understand popularity to filter the news, while others rely on the preferences of readers. - Big Media, Little Blogosphere
