In other news, Simon Stewart (no blog to my knowledge) has sent me the font I needed, and therefore iCal is working again. What a guy - thanks Simon!
My latest problem in Mini-Me's resurrection is that iCal quits when I open it. According to this article, it's because I've somehow lost my Helvetica Neue font from my /Library/Fonts folder. You would think after my Archive Install, I'd get this back. Harrumph, I've searched my hard drive, searched the Jaguar install disks, and I've even asked folks in the Apple Knowledge Base to send me the font - but no luck yet. So I'm asking you, my OS X-using readers, can you send me this font? Apple's support seems to suck.
Also, I'm jealous of Dave's ability to attend the meeting on Eclipse tonight. Hoping this is a touring preso, I looked up my local Websphere User Group - but it doesn't appear to be coming here.
The picture on the right is for Russell, I bet he wishes he was in Denver right now - 6 inches and counting!
This view is what we woke up to this morning. Julie cringed and moaned, while I yelled "yeeee haaawww!" It motivated me to buy my ski pass for this year and I can't wait for my first 9" day...
I doubt this will effect anyone, but this site might be down tonight for a few minutes. In case it doesn't come back, here's your warning.
There will be a brief outage at KGB Internet Solutions on some servers. We will be upgrading server memory on the server your web site is hosted on at approx. 0230 UTC. We will be forcing the web sites over to the backup server during this process, so the outages should only be for five or ten minutes while the secondary takes over, and then again when the primary takes over again after the upgrade.
I keep forgetting to send Matt a big fat Thank You for the improvements to Roller's interface, which looks much cleaner and more professional. So here it is: Thanks Matt!
You gotta love compliments! Lance - you're welcome, it was my pleasure. 
I downloaded and installed the Sun ONE App Server 7 this morning (on WinXP). Install was about 100 times easier than they used to be. I actually became an expert at installing iPlanet because they asked you so many damn questions, and answering one wrong could screw up your whole installation. I must've installed iPlanet 2.1-6 over 200 times! Good to see that almost anyone can do it now. My first test was to see if the struts-example app ran properly. I'm happy to report it did - with no errors visible on the UI. This is the first Sun app server release that this is possible on. Here's what I had to do in the past to get Struts running on iPlanet. I did see two errors in the log file while running Struts though:
WARNING: Error: JAXP SAXParser property not recognized: http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage
and
INFO: Processing a 'POST' for path '/saveSubscription' SEVERE: Database save java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission D:\Tools\Sun\AppServer7\domains\domain1\server1\ applications\j2ee-modules\struts-example_1\WEB-INF\database.xml.old delete)
I'm sure both of these could be easily fixed with a little digging. The admin UI is much better - now an HTML UI rather than a Swing UI - appears to be powered by JATO. Deploying was super-simple, browse for WAR file, click upload. I especially like the option to pre-compile all the JSPs.
In other news, I attemted to use an Atomz (free) search engine last night to index this site, and it appears I have too much to use the free (500 page) service. I might try it anyway, but here's my stats:
Your site is larger than the index size limits that our Express product allows.
...
It took 1 hour to crawl 2324 pages and index 510 pages containing 448497 words for a total of 52432830 bytes. 6112 word endings, 0 synonyms, and 3350 sound-alike words were included in the index.
