We are glad to announce that Meather (a.k.a. My Weather) has been released to the public (as version 1.0.) Meather is a “simple” application which stays near your clock in Windows Tray area and monitors (every 15 mins) local weather conditions. The current temperature is shown in Tray area icon, while additional details and four-day forecast are available in popup dialog. Very easy to configure; just type in your city name, and optional country name. Weather information is provided by (unofficial API) iGoogle. Have fun!

As we are progressing quite well with Yubiii, today we decided to give you a visual sneak-peak preview – five videos showing key aspects of the product, so far:
A small update about Yubikey Tools. Now they are supporting Offline authentication. First you run GinaConsole tool to enable Offline mode. You will have to provide Private ID and AES Key in order to activate the feature:
Then, there is a new CheckBox available in Logon dialog which controls the Offline authentication behavior:
As of today we are using Yubikey to access our Web Site management console, in addition to standard username/password logon process. Enabling 2-factor authentication on our Web Site was a simple task; it turned out to be an easy 3-steps process:
Install YubiKey WordPress plug-in and activate it from WP Plugins;
Go to WP Settings, then Yubikey, and enter the yubico API info;
Edit WP User, and enter Yubikey OTP under Account settings,
and that’s it! Enjoying hardened security already… (:
A new addition to the collection is under way. AutoLock will remember your Yubikey and lock out the computer once the device is removed. You will have to Logon to Windows in order to unlock the computer. AutoLock will continue to work in background, waiting for your Yubikey arrival, and will start monitoring it again. Coming soon…
