  Liberator FE

  I work for Caplin Systems who have recently released Liberator FE which is the Free Edition of their real time Comet server product.

  Liberator is the most performant and fully-featured server currently available for streaming real-time data to web pages. The technology behind many of the world’s leading financial trading portals, it is now available FREE for evaluation and non-commercial use.

  In this post I will detail my experiences when installing Liberator FE on Windows with an aim to being able to create a RIA Client that consumes data from a Capin DataSource.

  Liberator Free Edition comes with a comprehensive client library for integrating with Ajax or Flex, RIAs, a Java server library for connecting to sources of data and building application logic, and full documentation.

• Synaptics scrolling not working

  I’ve just updated my Synaptics touchpad drivers and after a restart the scrolling no longer worked. I did the obvious, check the settings and “do a google” but could not find the solution anywhere. I then went back to the settings and then noticed a sub-settings option for the touchpad in the Device Settings tab. Select Synaptics TouchPad and then click the Settings… button. A further properties dialog will appear with a Virtual Scrolling option. Select this option and then enable your scrolling.
