I am once again gripped with that emotion - "there's not enough time in the day!" I wake up at the ass-crack of dawn and still can't seem to get everything done that I need to. So I began planning my days and writing down "to do's" for each day. I'm using iCal for the time being, with Outlook and Yahoo's Calendar in my back-pocket if this doesn't work out. As a small experiment, I created the Denver JUG's upcoming meeting list as an iCal. Feel free to subscribe, I don't plan on deleting it.
I've had people ask me how to run Tomcat on Port 80 before (as a non-root user). I've never had an answer until now. Today I found that Holger Klawitter has a solution using Kernel space port forwarding. I don't have a need to try this at the moment, but if someone is using it - please share your experiences.
As an FYI, Tomcat 5 will use commons-daemon making this much easier to do. Also, the first Beta of Tomcat 5 (5.0.9) has been released.
I can tell I've been out of the loop for awhile. Hibernate has improved their site and moved to their domain (hibernate.org). Cool - looks very nice fellas. I especially dig the fact that you're now hosting your own user forums.
I'm not doing much Hibernate work these days - my new gig already has all the persistence layer written with JDBC DAO's, so there's not much reason to re-write them. The funny part is that if I need to write a new DAO, it'd probably be faster for me to do it with Hibernate, but since politics require all technologies be approved - it'd never happen. Why do the tools developers use have to be approved? So new (and existing) developers don't have to constantly learn new stuff. Bad for brain, good for business.
