I don't normally post third party news on this blog, but the recent SSL3 POODLE exploit has some NetTalk users experiencing connection problems with servers. The exploit isn't an implementation problem, it's a protocol flaw, and site administrators are responding by shutting off SSL3 on secure sites.
A few days ago Bruce Johnson at CapeSoft posted a quick and easy fix, which involves switching secure NetTalk clients from using SSL3 to TLS, which is not affected by the hack. This issue bit me over the weekend, and I was grateful for Bruce's timely notice of the required fix.

When I started refactoring the UI code for the original many-to-many checkboxes class I had a pretty clear idea of where I wanted to go.
When it came to storing the checkbox data in a database or some other data, however, I found myself thinking about a number of different factors/possibilities/requirements, including:
- Checkboxes in a simple queue
- Checkboxes in a file loaded ABC browse
- Checkboxes in a page loaded ABC browse
- Storing results in a database
- Storing results in non-database form (e.g. XML)
