I'm planning on purchasing the new Sony Ericsson T68i phone in the next week or so. I like it because of it's Bluetooth support and the fact that I can iSync it up with my Contacts, and check my e-mail via IMAP while I'm on the road. Anyone with knowledge of a Bluetooth adapter for Windows XP, please let me know. And it's always important to get new gadgets before you attend a big conference right? Especially when the conference is in Las Vegas.
Dave hooked me up with a little referrer love today by mentioning that I am now an official contributor to Roller. I love this software and it should be a lot of fun to watch it grow and evolve. Now I have to start patching all the bugs I logged. This blogging stuff is pretty fun, the only drawback is I dream about what I'm going to write the next day and have a hard time falling asleep. And then when I wake up, I can't remember what I was going to post, or it's not really newsworthy. I'm sure the intrigue will wear off as I do it more.
You might try adding autoReconnect=true to your JDBC URL. Hat tip to Stephen Chambers, who seemed to offer the solution on the Struts User List today.
If you're a CVS/Windows user, and you're not using Tortoise CVS, you might want to look into it. It integrates nicely with Explorer and has recently had a 1.0 release. Thanks Francis Irving! Once you've installed it, try Timo's icons. They're my favorite out of the choices listed.
Zeldman turned me on to it. Web Standards for Hard Times is a great read for anyone that is (1) starting to develop a new website or (2) wondering why their site looks different in different browsers. The best thing to know:
Many developers still don't realize that newer browsers look for a
DOCENGINE tag at the top of each page, and will change the way they
behave in response to it. Without the correct tag, browsers can take
your standards-compliant page and render it all wrong.
I've been using <table align="center"> in my pages for a few months now because I couldn't get my tables to center align with style="margin: 0px auto". Until today, I found this tip with a simple search on Google.
As demonstrated in this simple example
page, IE5/Mac centers tables using the correct margin styles if they
are written in long-form as margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;. The shorthand forms such as margin:0
auto; do not work. Fortunately this bug is easily worked around by
using the long-form syntax.
Good to know, life just got a little easier.
From macrumors.com . . .
Mac Warehouse is offering a $30 Mail-In Rebate for Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar).
Invoice must be dated on or after August 5, 2002, and no later than September 14, 2002. Rebates must be postmarked within 30 days of invoice date and no later than October 14, 2002.
Amazon had previously offered a $50 rebate for Jaguar... but was subsequently pulled due to overwhelming demand.
I didn't work on my current project with OnPoint Digital, Inc., but rather attended an iPlanet Portal Bootcamp at Sun. It was a week long 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. class, where I learned a ton about Portal, in hopes of teaching a Portal class in the future. Sun calls these classes T3's for Train-The-Trainer, so I am now certified to teach iPlanet Portal 3.0. I'm more interested in Sun ONE Portal 6.0 - so hopefully this will help me get lined up to teach that.
I attended the class with Martin Gee, and Michael Zucker; two good friends from ICSynergy. Martin recently published a book on iPlanet Application Server, and it looks really good. I browsed through my signed copy and it's got a lot of great information on developing J2EE apps. It's too bad iPlanet has gotten bad press from developers, because it really it really is a good product if you know all it's qwirks. I've used it since it was Netscape Application Server 2.1, so I got to learn all the qwirks the hard way. Hopefully Sun ONE Application Server will be a lot better.
It crashed both on production (this site) and on my LAN. I wasn't even using it on my LAN is the unfortunate part. I have it installed on a RedHat 7.3 box that mimics my production environment, in hopes of finding solutions to these types of problems. Here's the error I found in both logs. I will investigate at a later date.
I added a slick "theme-switcher" last night. In the bottom-right corner, you will see a couple choices: Navy Blue or Tropical. Click on a choice to switch the colors/images on this page.
I missed this one by a long shot (released 7.17.02), but I'll tell you anyway. StrutTestCase is a shortcut to using cactus to test your Struts Actions. Use it, it will descrease your development time.
I also am a little partial to this release since I helped Deryl get it working with LookupDispatchAction and Tiles. He did a great job in getting it all to work after I sent him the bugs. I had the easy job ;)
StrutsTestCase for JUnit - release 1.8 -------------------------------------- This release introduces improved support for Struts 1.1, provides several requested enhancements, and fixes many reported defects.
