TreePath and glob()
Posted March 28th, 2008 by wayland
glob(), as I said in the article "TreePath -- a universal tree navigation language", has its good points, but is lacking in power. It's time an upgrade was done.

TreePath -- a universal tree navigation language
Posted March 27th, 2008 by wayland
I'm not a die-hard XML fan. It has its place, but it's not the best thing ever. But there is one thing about the XML milieu that I really do like.

Unix User Domains
Posted February 19th, 2008 by wayland
The idea
The Unix system needs to be able to categorise users into domains.When I say "Domains", I don't mean DNS domains, but merely unique strings that identify a domain-set of users. This might include DNS domains, but it would not be limited to them.
This would mean that software that wished to authenticate users (such as MySQL), but didn't wish to create local users would have a mechanism for doing so. Then we wouldn't end up with 101 different authentication systems like we have now.
