Blog Refreshed Part Two

This a shorter post, and maybe more of just a Mango Blog plugin post.

So in part one I went of the tweaks that I made to help me for entering and editing blog posts. Now I will show you what I did to fixed the code formatting. Again I created a plugin, the plugin that I created using coldFish(coldfish.riaforge.org) to format the code in my blog entries. Here is my plugin xml.

How to get one row in MySQL and MS SQL Server

view plain print about
1SELECT column FROM table
2LIMIT 1

Select one row with Microsoft SQL Server:

Blog Refreshed Part One

Well I have refreshed the theme on my blog. I wanted to switch to blogCFC because the tinyMCE was messing up my posts when I had code in a post. So I attempted to install blogCFC on the server where my site is hosted and I just could not get it to work. The problem that I had was with the SQL server scripts. I am on an older version on SQL server and it looks like the scripts were exported/written for SQL Server 2008, I did not want to change the scripts because if there was an update later for blogCFC, most likely I would not remember that I modified the SQL script. So I decided that I would figure out how to make Mango Blog work better for me starting with the tinyMCE and then on to the actual formatting of the rendered code.

Internet ID for all?

Obama administration moves forward with unique internet ID for all Americans, Commerce Department to head system up 

President Obama has signaled that he will give the United States Commerce Department the authority over a proposed national cybersecurity measure that would involve giving each American a unique online identity. Other candidates mentioned previously to head up the new system have included the NSA and the Department of Homeland Security, but the announcement that the Commerce Department will take the job should please groups that have raised concerns over security agencies doing double duty in police and intelligence work. So anyway, what about this unique ID we'll all be getting? Well, though details are still pretty scant, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, speaking at an event at the Stanford Institute, stressed that the new system would not be akin to a national ID card, or a government controlled system, but that it would enhance security and reduce the need for people to memorize dozens of passwords online. Sorry, Locke, sounds like a national ID system to us. Anyway, the Obama administration is currently drafting what it's dubbed the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, which is expected at the Department of Commerce in a few months. We'll keep you posted if anything terrifying or cool happens.

So what does this mean? Are we going to have one Internet ID and password that is stored with the Government? Would you trust the Government with your ID and password? We all know that they spy on us already
