The Matrix (for App Servers)

TSS has volunteered to host the appserver matrix. This is a nice matrix that I've used in the past while teaching.

TheServerSide is pleased to announce that we will now be hosting the J2EE Application Server Matrix which was formerly available on Flashline.com. The 'Matrix' is a detailed listing of J2EE vendors and their application server products, with information on latest product version numbers, J2EE spec support and licensing, pricing, platform support, and links to product downloads and reviews.

T68i - Connection to the Internet and CommuniCam zoom

I did some research this morning to see if I could figure out how to connect to the internet using my laptop, Bluetooth and my phone. My hope is to not use an ISP, but rather to use the built-in connectivity of AT&T's mMode service. I found these comments that include links to some articles on how to do this. I might have to try this tonight or at least preserve it here for future reference.

I also wanted to find out how to upgrade my phone's firmware so it could support zoom for it's camera. I was disappointed to find out that I have to go through the following seemingly painful process:

  • Call Tech Support at (800) 374-2776 and get a reference number.
  • Call the Sony Ericsson Repair Center at (651) 229-5862 and schedule my phone for repair.
  • Send them my phone. Turnaround time is 3-5 business days once they receive it.

Ugh, granted I don't use the thing much, so living without it for two weeks wouldn't be too bad - but it is nice to have it around. Too bad I can't just download the software and upgrade - I wonder if they're physically replacing some embedded hardware? I asked if I could take it to an AT&T Store, but no dice - this is the only way to get zoom. Damn.

Multiple Monitors? Get this software!

I haven't used Synergy, but Chris seems to like it. It sure sounds cool.

With synergy, all the computers on your desktop form a single virtual screen. You use the mouse and keyboard of only one of the computers while you use all of the monitors on all of the computers. You tell synergy how many screens you have and their positions relative to one another. Synergy then detects when the mouse moves off the edge of a screen and jumps it instantly to the neighboring screen. The keyboard works normally on each screen; input goes to whichever screen has the cursor.

I highly recommend setting up dual monitors if you are a developer. I did it this summer after purchasing a 19" Dell Trinitron for $150 from eBay. If you're buying off eBay, make sure you know exactly what monitor you're getting. The first one I bought was a 21" Sony that sucked. Luckily, I was able to re-sell it fairly easily. Now, I actually believe that my two 19" Trinitrons might be better than the 23" Cinema Display I long for.
