it has been over two years since the last release of colobus, my nntp server written in perl that runs on top of ezmlm archives. this new release just incorporates a couple of accumulated bug fixes and tiny features.

i have a proof-of-concept version that uses a mysql backend. i’ll get that code folded in and cleaned up and make a 2.0 release some day.

the videos of the sawstop device are pretty cool. it’s a device that cuts the power and puts on the brakes to the saw blade when something with the wrong electrical properties (like a finger) touch it. (via boing boing.)
