JSF Chat now at 11:00 a.m. MDT tomorrow.
It looks like they decided 6:00 AM was too early for me - now at 11:00 AM PDT - that's 12:00 noon for you mountain timers.
The Angular Mini-Book is a

10+ YEARS
Over 10 years ago, I wrote my first blog post. Since then, I've authored books, had kids, traveled the world, found Trish and blogged about it all.
RECENT ENTRIES
Roller 0.9.6-rc1 appears to be ready.
I'll probably get up early (4 a.m.) and install this - it's a little last right now (11 p.m.). Looks great though - you shouldn't see any major changes tomorrow, just my 500 error page if I'm not done yet ;-)
Don't Forget the JSF Chat at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow.
Calling the blog-support Hotline.
I have a bunch of PDF's that I need to search for text values. Does anyone know of a package or set of utilities that will do this? Preferably open-source and cross-platform. However, I will accept any and all suggestions.
Roller Upgrade Tempting.
I'm tempted to upgrade to Roller 0.9.6-rc1, but if it's going to change in the next few hours/days, I'd hate to have to update everything twice. So I guess I'll wait. It's actually quite a chore for me to upgrade (an hour or so) because I've customized the web.xml for a private weblog, and I've put symlinks all over to point to other sites and skins.
JSF Commentary.
Brian Pontarelli has written an article about the recent Java Server Faces specification from Sun. I received an e-mail from him this morning via the Denver JUG - a little search on Google seems to indicate he works for BEA.
New Roller Client. I found that BlogApp works to post to Roller. Very cool! The software seems to support titles - meaning you can specify html to go around the title, but it doesn't post it to the "title" field in the roller database.
Roller 0.9.6 looks good.
I did a clean checkout from CVS, downloaded this site to my Mac and rebuilt everything from scratch. No problems - even the upgrade script worked flawlessly - less that fact that I still had my temp tables from the last upgrade. Problems I saw in IE/Mac where: 1) the <jsp:plugin> tag doesn't seem to work to render the new editor applet, maybe I should revert back to using the <applet> tag, 2) javascript errors in the editor UI when trying to set focus on hidden elements. Actually this is a Struts bug since it writes the javascript for setting focus. However, the javascript has a check for type != "hidden" - so who knows. It works fine in Windows, so I'll fix it if we get some complaints from Mac users.
Roller 0.9.6?
I guess this means I should update my local CVS version of Roller and attempt to migrate this site. Maybe later - I've already worked 5 hours today - on a Sunday! It's disgusting - time to go watch the Broncos...
Do You Yahoo?
Do you use Yahoo Mail and don't want to pay for POP3 access? Well, I stumbed upon a new tool tonight when I was surfing the roller-cvs link below. YahooPOPs! is a free download for Windows/Linux that makes it possible to get your Yahoo Mail in out Outlook Inbox (or any other POP3 client). I downloaded and installed, and I'm currently watching a dialog that says "Email download status for matt_raible. Downloading email 1 of 15." It's been 2-3 minutes and I haven't received anything yet. Good idea though - I'd LOVE it if this thing works. Is there an OS X version?
Dave's a workin'.
If you're subscribed to the roller-cvs mailing list - you can see that Dave is checking in stuff like a madman tonight! I think that's how most open source projects are successful - one guy writes it, works his butt off and everyone else tags along for the ride. Am I wrong? Let me know - but that seems to be how Struts got started by Craig. Notice that I said started - it's not how it is today.
