Two things I'm looking for... It's getting late and I'd rather go to bed then venture on another internet search adventure. Here's what I'm looking for:

  • A tool or application to convert an Access database to MySQL.
  • A tool or application to grab my .Mac Photo Album so I can host it on my own server.

The wait is almost over The ZX7 shipped today. The wait is almost over. The told me they'd overnight it yesterday, so it's a day late (so far). I hope my relationship with Hypersonic doesn't develop into another love hate relationship. Posted in General at Aug 05 2003, 08:54:13 PM MDT 1 Comment

Help me architect Struts Resume I've come up with a few issues for Struts Resume that I need some feedback on. Let's just get right to them. * How should I assign skill groups and skills to a resume? * Resume Templates - should I do something like Roller or simpler? * Can I produce PDF or RTF from a Velocity template? I've [elaborated more|StrutsResumeArchitecture] on my wiki. Please post your feedback via comments or on the wiki.

Update: Thanks to Mathius, I was able to implement a simple XHTML and RTF (Word) version of a simple resume today. I don't think Velocity will be the only option, I think I'm going to have to have an XSL Transformation Servlet as well, and the user will be able to choose Velocity templates or XML/XSL/FO. But that will be in a later version of Struts Resume. For 1.0, I'm going to concentrate on getting a resume updateable and presentable - PDF will be a post-1.0 option. The main reason for this is because I think I can release a 1.0 version before my next gig starts. After I start, it might be quite a while until I can get some time to work on it again.
