Recital is a dynamic programming language with an integrated high performance database particularly well suited for the development and deployment of high transaction throughput applications. Recital 10 further enhances Recital with extensive features and functionality to facilitate its use in fault tolerant high availability systems. Much of the development of Recital 10 was concentrated on performance optimizations and cluster aware functionality to provide an application platform that can be scaled as needed without any application changes.
Key features of Recital 10 include:
- Cluster aware database engine that works transparently with drbd, heartbeat, glusterfs and samba
- High degree of fault tolerance with self healing indexes
- Massive performance improvements
- Extensive internals overall and modernization with superior object-oriented capabilities
- Chronological data versioning with database timelines
- SmartQuery caching
- Database Administration Tools
- Code and Data Profiling
- Better integration with unix/linux command shell
- Incorporates a range of new built-in functions compatible with those in the PHP core libraries
- Built-in support for outputting data in HTML, XML, and JSON format
- Seamless SQL command integration into the Recital scripting language
- Much improved Microsoft FoxPRO language compatibility
- Numerous extensions and improvements (see below for details)
- Very large file support (2^63)
One of the attractive features of Linux is the impressive 3D desktop that even works on most older hardware.
You can enabled the 3D Desktop on CentOS5 by installing the compiz package:
yum install compiz
After you have done this, go to the top panel and click System, then select Preferences > and click 'Desktop Effects.
You will get a new dialog. To test and see if your hardware supports the 3D Desktop, press the button Enable Desktop Effects. If everything works fine, you can select Keep Settings.
Then test your 3D Desktop by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Left and Ctrl-Alt-Right, or drag a window around or even out of the screen to the left or right. If you maximize a window, you will see another cool effect. If you move the mouse to the upper-right corner of the screen you see all your opened applications.Way cool!
STRERROR()
Syntax
STRERROR( [ <expN> ] )Description
The STRERROR() function returns a string describing the last operating system error message. If the optional error number is specified then the related operating system error message will be returned.Example
mqdes=mqcreate("/myqueue", 2)
if (mqdes < 0)
messagebox(strerror()+",errno="+alltrim(str(error())))
return
endif
rc = mqsend(mqdes, "Test message")
if (rc < 0)
messagebox(strerror()+",errno="+alltrim(str(error())))
return
endif
mqclose(mqdes)
I am a fan of the previous incarnation of the PlugComputer so I was excited to see that Marvell have unveiled a new PlugComputer dubbed imaginatively "PlugComputer 3.0."
PlugComputer 3.0 Features:
Smaller sleeker design,
More powerful CPU - 2gz Armanda 300 CPU,
120GB 1.8-inch SATA hard drive,
Wifi,
Bluetooth,
10/100/1000 wired Ethernet,
USB 2.0.
512MB of RAM
512MB of Flash memory
I for one would like to see an additional Ethernet port added to increase application flexibility, for some applications where you are using clustered plugs or even for routing, having multiple Ethernet ports is a must.
Even without multiple ethernet ports, these low power consumption devices really could have a place in SME environments, replacing large cumbersome legacy hardware with compact Linux plug servers.

VMware products, such as ESX, Workstation, Server, and Fusion, come with a built-in VNC server to access guests.
This allows you to connect to the guest without having a VNC server installed in the guest - useful if a server doesn't exist for the guest or if you need access some time when a server would not work (say during the boot process). It's also good in conjunction with Headless Mode.
The VNC server is set up on a per-VM basis, and is disabled by default. To enable it, add the following lines to the .vmx:
RemoteDisplay.vnc.enabled = "TRUE" RemoteDisplay.vnc.port = "5901"
You can set a password with RemoteDisplay.vnc.key; details for how to calculate the obfuscated value given a plaintext password are in Compute hashed password for use with RemoteDisplay.vnc.key.
If you want more than one VM set up in this manner, make sure they have unique port numbers. To connect, use a VNC client pointing at host-ip-address:port. If you connect from a different computer, you may have to open a hole in the OS X firewall. If you use Leopard's Screen Sharing.app on the same computer as Fusion, don't use port 5900 since Screen Sharing refuses to connect to that.
If you are running your Redhat/Centos or Fedora machine in an enterprise environment you may be sitting behind a network proxy server like squid.
If you try and update or install software it will fail with timeouts or errors contacting the repository mirrors.
To configure YUM to work with your proxy server you need to add the following line to your /etc/yum.conf file.
Anonymous proxy configuration:
proxy=http://yourproxyip:port/
If your proxy server requires authentication add the following lines to your /etc/yum.conf file instead.
proxy=http://yourproxyip:port/ proxy_username=youruser proxy_password=yourpassword
You will be able to update and install software now, give it a go!
The 64bit port of Recital requires these libraries to allow access to 32bit Xbase and C-ISAM data files which are 32bit.
If you do not have these libraries installed you will either get a "can't find db.exe" or an "error loading shared libraries" when trying to run or license Recital.
