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.

Is your web application or mysql instance crashing?
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.
Why should you develop with web standards
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.
