Letter from the Publisher The holiday season is fast upon us and while getting worked up into a festive mood we have updated the TNPC Web site with a fresh new look and, hopefully, a less cluttered interface. If you haven't been by TNPC on the Web recently you should drop in and check things out. Older articles will still be in the old format but all the main pages and the last issue have been redone in the new format. The main page has been redone with a single purpose... to get those folks who are new to TNPC to subscribe. http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?new1 For those of you reading this (and whom we think we can safely assume have already subscribed) you can still find all the content you're used to on our secondary main page: http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?new2 If you have bookmarked TNPC's main page you might want to update it. All the other pages have the same name and location so those bookmarks will work as they always have. As always, reader comments are welcome. Al takes a look at the new releases from the leader in backup software, Veritas. Lee checks in with an article for the Office developers among our readership. Speaking of Lee, on Friday, October 27, 2000, he was a guest on Marty Griffin's nationally syndicated "On Your Side" radio show, archived here: http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?cram1 Lee was selected to represent the point of view of someone who had been "phone crammed," figured out it was happening, and successfully reversed all the bogus charges. The show's associate producer was impressed by Lee's "My Phone Has Been Crammed! Has Yours?" article in TNPC and so invited him on the show. The article includes Lee's complete checklist of what to about cramming plus an extensive listing of online resources for finding out more about phone fraud. Don't get crammed! http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?cram2 Dan was inundated with reader comments on his piece last issue about keeping track of downloaded files and you can see a number of these here: http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?dloads In this issue Dan talks about e-commerce based on our own recent experience here at TNPC while Jim talks about a neat hardware product that he installed on his system. Here in the USA we celebrate our Thanksgiving holiday on what would normally be our next TNPC publication date, Thursday, November 23, 2000. Therefore our next issue, TNPC #3.24 will be published on Thursday, November 30, 2000. As always, reader support is what keeps TNPC free, so PLEASE help us and pass a copy of TNPC on to co-workers and friends (no spam please!) and remember to always say "I saw it in TNPC!" http://www.TheNakedPC.com/refer/ So now you know. +++------------------------- sponsor -------------------------+++ PHOTON-MICRO LIGHTS in the TNPC Store!

Veritas Revisited (by Al Gordon) Ah, the signs that the year is coming to an end: the leaves change (at least they do in the Northeast), daylight saving time ends, the weather turns colder... and new releases of established software products begin to accelerate. Among them: the latest edition of Veritas Backup Exec. Through many years, many incarnations, and many patent companies, Backup Exec has been the market-leading backup software, and the new Version 4.5 continues that role. http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?util1 Veritas made the kind of changes in Version 4.5 that are exactly what I like to see: very few. The easy to use Explorer-like interface is carried over intact, as are the crucial options such as scheduling, catalogs, wizards, and tools for working with backup media. The new version primarily adds support for Windows 2000 and ME, providing users with a solution that will work on any flavor of Windows. Version 4.5 also supports most new backup hardware, including the new generation of high-speed CD-RW drives. This is especially important, as the 10X RW drives cut backup times down to reasonable levels and greatly improve the practicality of CD backup. Users of previous versions can upgrade for a modest $29. I really wish that more software makers would follow this model: if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Just make whatever bug fixes need to be made, and adjust for new hardware and operating systems. On the less positive side, Veritas is following Symantec down the path of breaking their product lineups into multiple tiers. The new backup products are Veritas Simple Backup, Veritas Backup Exec Desktop, and Veritas Backup Exec Desktop Pro. Simple backup is a CD-R/RW-only, Win9x/ME-only product, with a streamlined interface, intended for beginning users. It is suitable mainly for backing up your data. Pro has the same feature set as the past versions of Desktop, and also can handle backups of a peer-to-peer network--a capability aimed at users of the small business and home networking solutions now gaining in popularity. Desktop standard, on the other hand, lacks the peer-to-peer capability. It also does not create disaster recovery disks, as did previous versions of Desktop, but is at the same price point. Disaster recovery requires Desktop Pro, which is more expensive. To me, this is a backdoor price hike. Upgraders will not suffer, but new users will feel a little pinch in the vicinity of their wallets.

Developer's Corner: Digitally Signing Office VBA Projects (by Lee Hudspeth) In this article, the digital signatures I describe are used for "signing" source code, they are not the digital signatures you would use to sign email. The focus of this article is on digital certificates. The two main reasons you as a developer would use a digital certificate are to: 1. protect your software from tampering after you've published it, and 2. guarantee to your customer that your software did in fact come from your company, not a firm masquerading as you. What files can you sign with a code-signing digital certificate? A wide variety: Microsoft Office documents, ActiveX controls, Java applets, DLLs, CAB files, among others. If you distribute Microsoft Office macros to people outside your office, whether as Word documents with code in them, Excel workbooks with code in them, or any type of Office add-in, you need to sign these files with a code-signing digital certificate issued by a Certificate Authority. Why? Because the technology is readily available, affordable, and it gives your customers a high level of confidence in the authenticity of your code. Signed code assures your customers that your stuff is indeed your stuff, not code manufactured by some yahoo who stole your moniker. Signed code also guarantees that your code hasn't been tampered with and that it hasn't been corrupted in transit. Given the ease with which Office documents can propagate viruses, using a digital certificate is a smart business decision. The benefit to the customer manifests itself like so. (Note: throughout this article the term "customer" can also be read as "user" since people inside your organization-- users--and outside your organization--customers--can be the beneficiaries of your Office VBA projects.) When the customer opens, loads, or uses an Office file that contains VBA code, and that file has been signed by a digital certificate, all of that file's functionality will be available regardless of the macro security level setting active on the customer's PC right then. Furthermore, that functionality is available without the customer having to answer a macro warning dialog each time she uses the tool. The first time the tool is used on the system, if the customer has never before "trusted" the digital certificate's source company on this PC, that's when the customer gets to decide what level of trust to give to your digital certificate. A Certificate Authority is a company that is mutually trusted by code developers and code consumers. A list of Certificate Authorities is available here: http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?cert1 A code-signing digital certificate from market leader VeriSign (the VeriSign Class 3 Developer ID) costs $400 up front and a $400 annual renewal fee. At PRIME Consulting Group, Inc. we use a Thawte Developer Certificate. Thawte's Developer Certificate costs $200 up front with a $100 annual renewal fee. (Thawte was bought out last year by VeriSign but continues to maintain its Thawte brand.) (These two links were unintentionally omitted in the original email version of the article. -- Ed.) http://www.thawte.com http://www.verisign.com What if you're part of a larger organization and only need to distribute certified code inside the company? Microsoft's "trust me, it's me" SelfCert.exe tool won't cut it. You need to set up a Microsoft Certificate Server that allows your company to act as the Certificate Authority for all its employees. For more information see: http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?cert2 Here are the steps to follow to get your digital certificate, and how to use it to sign an Office document that contains code. Due to space constraints, you'll find each step's details in this article's supplemental Web page: http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?cert3 1. Put one person in charge of code signing. 2. Choose a Certificate Authority. 3. Establish one PC as the "code signing" PC. 4. Apply online for a digital certificate, while on your code signing PC. 5. Pick up your digital certificate using your code signing PC. 6. Turn on timestamping on your code signing PC. Be sure to timestamp your digital signatures. The precise technique for doing so varies from one Certificate Authority to the next. By timestamping, the software behind digital certificates can verify that a particular signature was applied while the certificate was still valid, meaning, before its one- year expiration date. Annoyingly, there is only one way to be certain that a file was successfully timestamped when you sign it. You must watch your modem lights (or firewall activity indicator) for a brief flurry of communication between your PC and the timestamping server at the moment that the digital certificate is applied (see next step). There is no user interface or properties sheet for a file to indicate that its digital signature has been timestamped. +++-----------------------------------------------------------+++ New Tool: PRIME TimeStamper Shameless plug coming! Our firm PRIME Consulting Group, Inc. has developed a tool called PRIME TimeStamper that completely relieves the Office developer of the time-consuming hassle involved in turning timestamping on and off. Ideally, you want to turn timestamping on only once when you do the final compile for a project. Even on a high-speed Internet connection, every time you save an Office VBA project with timestamping turned on, the save operation can take longer than you'd like to wait. (That's the nature of getting the timestamp from the authority's server.) PRIME TimeStamper works in both Office 2000 and the latest beta of Office 10 (also known as Office 2002). For more information about PRIME TimeStamper, or to purchase your copy now (covered by our lifetime money-back guarantee), go here: http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?cert4 +++-----------------------------------------------------------+++ 7. Run the PVK Digital Certificate Files Importer on your code signing PC. For more information see: http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?cert5 8. Sign the Office files that store your code using your code signing PC. Make sure you're connected to the Internet. Assuming the file is a Word template, open the template, start Word's Visual Basic Editor, and select the template's VBA project in the Project Explorer. Now select Tools, Digital Signature, click the Choose button, select your company's digital certificate from the list, OK, OK. Save the Word template. Once saved, it has been digitally signed and timestamped. 9. Test the signed file on any PC. You can test on any PC, not just your code signing PC. Set Word's macro security level to High, close Word, restart Word, and open the signed template. If this is the first time this PC has ever opened a file digitally signed by your company's digital certificate, you'll see a Security Warning prompt. After setting this trust level, whenever you open that template on this PC-- even with a High macro security level setting--there will be no macro warning dialog and the code behind the template will be silently enabled, as it *should* be for an add-in from a trusted source. If you don't timestamp a project, once your system clock encounters a time beyond one year from the date of your digital certificate's issuance, a Security Warning dialog will state, "A certificate (signing or issuer) has expired." A timestamp avoids all this inconvenience. Lee Hudspeth can be reached at: mailto:code@PRIMEConsulting.com ** 04. Putting Together an E-Commerce Store (by Dan Butler) UPS has a television commercial showing a young upstart Web company eagerly awaiting their first online order. Euphoria erupts when the sales counter ticks to one. Consternation sets in as the hit counter spins out of control and the magnitude of their task in dealing with the orders sinks in. Last issue we announced the opening of the TNPC Store. Your response greatly exceeded our expectations, and we thank you! While we didn't quite experience the same level of growth as the company in the UPS commercial, we did have to do some scrambling to get on top of things. Putting all the necessary systems in place taught us a lot about what we didn't think about. We expected modest sales. We got a more enthusiastic response, which required rush shipments of inventory. We had more overseas orders than we thought we would, and where we thought we would be selling Micro-Lights in single units the majority of orders were for multiple units. This meant that our shipping procedures had to be revamped on the fly. These are problems that confront many companies that venture out onto the Web. While we had a handle on the technical aspects of electronic selling, the physical realities of getting products out the door caught us somewhat unawares. From a technical standpoint the store took two of us approximately twelve hours to get up and running. Cosmetically it still needs work but we focused on putting up a viable Web storefront that allowed us to take electronic orders on a secure server. To that end we simply applied the tools and knowledge we've accumulated over the years to the task and this was easiest part of the entire process, yet was the one that we thought would present the greatest problems. It just goes to show that you have to be flexible when starting up an e-business and have a number of contingency plans that can be adapted as your "plan" is subjected to reality. E-commerce is a fairly specialized topic but if you run an online or offline business you might want to head over to: http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?dan1 Here you can sign up for a special interest bulletin by me, Dan Butler, on the topics of e-commerce and other related areas covering the doing of business on the Internet.

Featured Book - "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" by Eric S. Raymond This book carries the subtitle, "Musings on Linux and Open Source by an Accidental Revolutionary." That's a long title, but would you pick the book up based on that? If you answered "no" then you would miss a thought-provoking journey through the Open Source movement. At its core the Open Source movement is the contrast between Centralized (the Cathedral) and de-centralized (the Bazaar) development. Dan first encountered this essay several years ago while surfing the Internet during lunch. The thoughts therein occupied his thinking for the rest of the day. Rather than just setting up an "us" (Open Source) vs. "them" (Microsoft) environment, Mr. Raymond details the differences. Make no mistake, he has a bias and it shows. Fortunately he does examine all sides of the issue and even admits that Open Source isn't always the perfect solution. What will you learn from this book? The real meaning of free software, some history, and the difference between hackers and crackers among other things. On a more practical level Dan picked up some thought-provoking and useable ideas on project management in the "Homesteading the Noosphere" essay. Don't skip the endnotes as they are full of helpful information. Throughout the book the essays are tied to cultural themes. This really helps keep the overall concepts in mind. For many the "Cathedral and the Bazaar" will present a new way of thinking about software in particular and intellectual property in general. Dan recommends this book to anyone who is interested in computing. That includes almost all readers of this newsletter. http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?fbook ** 06. Featured Web Site - Tom's Web Reference Source - Decimal RGB to Hexadecimal RGB Converter If you do any Web page development you have probably run into this problem. You're working with graphics in PaintShop Pro and you see a color you think would work nicely for a table or background on a Web page. Trouble is that in most graphics programs the color values are displayed in decimal RGB (red, green, blue) values. For HTML you have to enter them as hexadecimal values. For example, in the decimal RGB notation white is 255 255 255 while in hexadecimal RGB it's FF FF FF. Tom's Web Reference contains a simple tool for converting values from one notation to the other. The interface is clean and easy to use. Other sites have color wheels and palettes of every sort and make it difficult to just do a straightforward conversion. http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?fsite ** 07. Featured Product - FrontX (by T.J. Lee) FrontX is one of things that the second you see it you slap your forehead and exclaim, "Why didn't I think of that!" It's a very simple idea but once you use it, it's very hard to do without. What FrontX does is bring those annoyingly pesky ports on the back of your computer to the front of your computer. Those connections that you can never find when you need them without practically uninstalling your PC and dragging it into a good light: the speaker jack, the microphone jack, the joystick port, etc. Changing out a monitor is doable, as is a printer, since you can usually discern the right connector by touch. But the sound card ports are not so easy because even if you find them the microphone and the speaker jack are indistinguishable by touch. Even if you pull the chassis out where you can see the back of the system you're lucky if you can figure out the faintly etched hieroglyphics that are supposedly the international symbols for things like line out, audio in, and such. If you're on the same side of 40 as I am you're lucky if you can even see them. The FrontX is a simple concept that's executed very well. You install a front plate into a vacant 5 1/2 inch drive bay. A series of cables run from this plate to the back of the computer, slip out through a vacant slot plate then are plugged into the appropriate ports on the back of the system. The cables have female receptacles on modular plastic mounts that slide into the front plate. The design is modular in that the basic kit comes with four ports but the plate can accept a total of eight cables. So why do you want to move the ports to the front of the computer? If you've been reading TNPC for a while you'll know I use DialPad to avoid long distance toll charges on my phone bill. To work well this requires a multimedia headset that plugs into the speaker and microphone jacks on my sound card. I also like to listen to music and movies on my computer, which requires I have my speakers hooked up to my computer. Switching back and forth was no fun at all and invariably the wrong equipment was always attached to the system for what I needed to do. I also have two systems I use regularly and only one nice joystick. This also gets swapped back and forth. Having the ports easily accessible on the front of the system is quickly addicting. The only downside that I can see is that a full size drive bay has to be available to accommodate the front panel piece (which has a nifty plastic cover that snaps up, covering the ports when they're not in use). You also have to have an available slot in the computer that you snake the cables out through the slot cover. Fortunately my motherboard had an old ISA slot I never use. FrontX comes with a replacement slot cover that leaves only enough room for the cables to exit the chassis. Given that the eyesight of my youth is fast fading, I did not relish trying to figure out which jack on the sound card was the line out but luckily for me the sound card jacks were color coded and matched exactly the color coding of the cables that came with the FrontX kit. I was able to switch speakers, microphone, and joystick to the front panel in just a few minutes. There's also a female receptacle that mounts on the replacement slot cover that forced me to study the documentation that came with the unit. It was well worth the read because you plug your speakers into this port on the back of the machine. Then, if you plug a headset into the port on the front panel it cuts out the speakers and channels the sound to the headset. Unplug the headset and the speakers kick in automatically. Very slick. To see pictures of the FrontX product and how it installs go here: http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?fprod1 The FrontX is made by Frontx CPX Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian company and retails for $25.50 US. Their Web site was not the easiest to figure out and it looks like they're planning on a host of ancillary products that are not yet available. http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/323/tr.cgi?fprod You can reach T.J.
