The cloud has driven down the cost of ownership of IT systems enabling smaller organisations the ability to access services that were previously only available to the global 1000. Can the cloud do the same for digital preservation? Tessella’s head of digital archiving Mark Evans explored these issues at PASIG 2012 which took place in January in Austin TX.

vsftpd-3.0.0 is released. Aside from the usual few fixes, I'm excited about built-in support for Will Drewry's seccomp filter, which landed in Ubuntu. To give it a whirl, you'll need a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 (beta at time of writing), and a 64-bit build of vsftpd. Why all the excitement? vsftpd has always piled on all of the Linux sandboxing / privilege facilities available, including chroot, capabilities, file descriptor passing, pid / network / etc. namespaces, rlimits, and even a ptrace-based de

While much is written about digital preservation, anyone looking to deliver a real system for large scale digital preservation will find little information about the realities of successfully delivering such a system. In his talk at PASIG 2012, Jason Pierson does just this. He describes FamilySearch’s ambitious project to digitise and preserve their vast collection of genealogical information.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Geopolitical risk is now at the top of the agenda for CEOs. But tracking it can be difficult. The world is more interconnected than ever, whether in terms of economics and supply chains or technology and communication. Geopolitically, however, it is becoming increasingly fragmented – threatening the operations, financial well-being, and security of globally connected companies.

Just a quick note that vsftpd-3.0.0 is imminent. The big-ticket item is the new seccomp filter sandboxing support. Please test this, particularly on 64-bit Ubuntu Precise Beta 2 (or newer) or if you use SSL support. I would love to get a quick note (e-mail or comment here) even if just to say it seems to work in your configuration.

Ever since the Pebble watch became an cause célèbre in tech circles for its kickass Kickstarter moves (it’s raised almost $7mm dollars and counting), something’s been nagging me about the company and its product. It’s now Valley legend that the company had to turn to Kickstarter to get its working capital – more than 46,000 folks have backed Pebble, and will soon be proudly sporting their spiffy new iPhone-powered watches as a result.

Perhaps the most interesting piece of mail came from a very familiar brand: Facebook. The letter had all the trappings of direct mail – a presorted postage mark, impersonal address label, etc.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
