have the basic bugzilla installed and responding. there're isn't any color
to it so I assume a css file is missing somewhere along the way. there
aren't any apache error_log errors so not sure if this is just a default
behavior. will work on further configuration tomorrow.

ogce is now authneticating with the blazerid at the following url:

http://metric.it.uab.edu/nmi/portal/?action=ChefLoginUser

This works but all the urls in the page load are competing with each other
and causing many trips to the weblogin server. This causes the buttons on
the page not to render properly, the logo not to load, and the other users
iframe to flash. Clicking around the site seems to calm it down, but not
always.

Need to figure out how to get the https request not to comptete with each
other in passing the pubcookie cookies back and forth to the login server.

It's desirable to allow multiple members of an organization to share a
single mail list subscription.

This would let an org, say a lab with developers, monitor list traffic
centrally for a list of interest, eg. you could have a local archive page
for a specific list like ogce-discuss. If the any of the developers wants
to participate in the list or ask questions, they can post under the
authority of the common subscription. (The post might show up on the
remote list as being from "member of devel group" .)
The content of the message could of course reveal the individual identity,

Note: these are thoughts that I've been trying to develop for a while.
I'm not getting far. will publish them now.

Whenever I read the use cases the back of my mind suggests there is
something general about them that crosses the IM boundary into other app
areas. I've been thinking about this for a while but don't know if I
can convey this idea consisely. I'll give some examples.

I was glancing over a privacy article IEEE Internet Computing recently
and a couple of sentances stood out. I think they encapsulate my
feeling nicely, so before I try to do too much explaining I'll let you

since the mazurka disk wasn't coming back online, still flashing orange
decided to go to bios raid config. found a rebuild disk option and am
trying that to see if it gets included. none of the status indicators
suggest any problem except with the disk. ie. no controller problems

I want to comment a little more (concisely?) on some of what I was
saying on the call yesterday.

I feel like a lot of the web interfaces of the mail list tools (and web
tools in general) have an account-action authorization model. That is,
they define a (sometimes long) list of actions that can be performed in
the application, like "post to list" "moderate" "subscribe" etc. They
then go about associating accounts with the actions they can perform.

When per-account assignements become combersome, the tools typically move
to a role based assignment of authorizations. This allows you to assign

spent the day doing more layout changes on the uabgrid site. it's looking
good. will be able to move this over in the next few days, set up the new
db and get going on the ca work.

the xtemeplate theme is proving its worth. also shows ways in which all
manner of folk can participate in uabgrid. graphics artist can submit new
themes. and it's nice for us non graphic folks to have themes to shift
around a bit with minor color mods. also see how you could have an end
user select-a-theme feature for vo maintainers.

working on understanding xtemplate and tools like quanta. the background
image was adequate but needed(s) to be lightened, certainly the green
squares.

remember now that i've seen the xtemplate.inc that this is based on a
generic php templating engine. understanding that should help. see
xtemplate at sourceforge. it draws it's ideas from another template engine
called quicktempalte.

the basic approach seems to have a temptlate html layout that contains
variable names that are then defined with content.

seems to go like this. each object type on the page has a name, eg. node.

Background images on webpages are easy to deal with.
