Help! I Am Trapped

Help!

Help!

Last Sunday it was raining heavily. In the night my daughter called my attention to an ant which was trapped in silken web. my initial thoughts were that it was a spider’s web which had trapped the ant. I could not see any spider around. It was dark and i was struggling to focus on the head and eyes of the ant in My Canon EOS 5D mark II using Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro under the modeling lamp of the Canon MT-24EX macro twin light flash. As I was shooting I noticed a small larva next to the ant. Then I realized that the web was the creating of this larva. You can see the larava at the edge of the picture. The ant must have attacked the larva which in retaliation spewed web all over the ant which had the ant trapped. You can see the web more clearly in this second photograph.

As i took these shots it started raining heavily and Next day morning I could not trace either ant nor the larva.

Publisher 2007 Flaw Detected

February 27th, 2007
by Krishna Mohan

Publisher 2007 flaw could allow attacker to take control of a system. EEye claims that the flaw could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a system at the same privilege level as the logged-in user.

Effectively this would allow an attacker to take control of a system running Windows XP. But it causes less of a threat to Vista because most users will not be running in administrator mode.

A Microsoft spokesperson said that the company had been notified about a potential vulnerability and is investigating the reports. Microsoft stressed that it is not aware of any attacks exploiting the flaw.

“Microsoft will continue to work with eEye to further understand this report as part of our standard Microsoft Security Response Center investigation process and will provide additional guidance for customers as necessary,” said the spokesperson.

ODF converter for Word released

February 3rd, 2007
by Krishna Mohan

As I posted earlier Microsoft just announced release of the promised ODF converter. Developers of the open source project to produce a translator between OpenDocument format (ODF) and Open XML document formats announced the completion of the 1.0 release of the technology. The completed Open XML Translator enables conversion of documents from one format to the other and is available for anyone to download and use at no cost. When plugged into Microsoft® Office Word, for example, the Translator provides customers with the choice to open and save documents in ODF rather than the native Open XML format. The Translator may also be plugged into competing word processing programs that use ODF as the default format to open and save documents in Open XML. Microsoft Corp. announced its support for the open source project to build a technical bridge between Open XML and ODF in July 2006 to provide interoperability between formats. Since inception, it has remained among the 30 most active projects on SourceForge.net and has been downloaded more than 50,000 times.

The 1.0 release of the Translator supports the current industry-standard document formats of both Open XML and ODF. It has been tested on Microsoft Office 2007, Office 2003 and Office XP and has been localized into Dutch, French, German and Polish. In addition, Novell has announced that the Translator will be natively implemented in its next version of OpenOffice.

The second phase of the translator project, including translators for Spreadsheet (Microsoft Office Excel®) and Presentation (Microsoft Office PowerPoint®), will begin in February. Regular customer technology previews will be posted to SourceForge.net beginning in May 2007, and the final versions are scheduled to be available for customers in November 2007.

The Microsoft-funded translator project is being developed by French company CleverAge and Sonata Software Ltd. of India, and tested by Dialogika of Germany and India-based Aztecsoft Ltd. The project will continue to be open source, developed on SourceForge.net (http://sourceforge.net/projects/odf-converter) and freely available to all customers for development or use.
