XMPP Protocol not for sale

Last Friday Cisco announced that it has acquired Jabber for an undisclosed sum. The Jabber development team created an open-source IM and presence protocol called XMPP used by Google Talk and Gizmo. The XMPP Protocol is not for sale but Cisco for sure bought some influence here.

Virtual Trashcan

Does this count for the KaCo Trashcan collection?

MediaWiki and Common.css

Working on OpenSignOn.org I found that by default “prettytable” now called the mediawiki class is not included in common.css ?? OK Old school I was thinking of adding mediawiki styles to common.css and things like uploading with FTP. But as it turns out everything is a Wiki even the .css “files”. Lessens learned I just had to add the mediawiki styles to http://www.opensignon.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css . It works!!! I was not Wikitized enough to get this but the people at MediaWiki are so Wikitized they forget to explain this. They don’t have to because if you are Wikitized you can let other people explain things on your Wiki.  

Ashes to Ashes on SVT.se

On www.svt.se you can now watch Ashes to Ashes. If you are from outside Sweden you need a Swedish IP number so connect with a Relakks account to see part one where Alex Drake wakes up in 1981 after being shot in 2008. She concludes that she is either a second away from life, or a second away from death.

P3P Cookies

If we use the HTTPOnly flag for XSall perhaps we also have to add P3P headers. Just studying the topic now. Here are some links: P3P, Cookies and IE6.0: A Case Study Don’t get trapped by mixed headers

HTTPOnly ?

The XSall implementation of OpenSignOn is not using the HTTPOnly flag now. I don’t see any XSS problems but perhaps it would not hurt to implement it. An extra wall always helps.
