Simon posted today that Pebble supports RSS Feeds by Category. Just so you know, Roller also has this feature, - just add "?catname=categoryName" after /page/$username. Here's all my current categories.
This is a great feature to have in your blogging software. Without it, javablogs.com would be getting all my posts, rather than just my Java and Roller categories.
At first, I thought that Google's AdSense was kind of annoying. Then I realized, from Russ, that you can actually pay for your hosting costs with it. So I tried to sign up (this was about a month ago now). I was denied with a vague reason like my site was too personal or something. "Oh well" I thought, "at least I tried." But now I'm seeing these suckers on almost everyone's blogs. "Sheot" I say to myself, "those bastards are making money and I'm still stuck paying $50+/month for this site!!"
So on one hand, I'm jealous of all your Google Ad Bastards, but on the other hand, I'm proud to be Ad Free!
No wait. I take that back. I'm just jealous. Money talks...
I use Anthill for automated building and testing of my webapps. I think it's a great product. The UI could use some improvements, but I know that if I really cared, I'd fix it myself. It's only competition is CruiseControl as far as I know. CruiseControl (at first and only glance) looks to have a not-so-intuitive XML file that needs to be setup. Anthill was easy to figure out without even reading any documentation.
I am using Anthill on a number of projects and most of these projects use some sort of e-mail notification of CVS commits. When using CVS on *nix, I use CVSSpam, or the one built in at SourceForge. When using CVS NT on Windows (like my current *paid* project) I use CVSMailer. Both of these work great, however, when Anthill does a commit of my anthill.version file - everyone gets a notification of it.
Does anyone know how to configure CVSMailer or CVSSpam to "not" send e-mails for this specific file? I'd love to configure this from Anthill, but I realize it relies on committing this file.
Sweet, the Hibernate guys have a group blog. Very nice - I subscribed. Gavin's post on Designing "query by criteria" is a should read if you're a Hibernate user. You might recall a while back, I was looking to use the QueryByCriteria API to construct dynamic queries. I ended up doing this with session.find and SQL, which turned out to be much easier. That being said, what's the advantage of using the Expression API over plain ol' SQL?
