Tomcat Issues

This site continues to puke and choke - and I believe it's 1) Tomcat or 2) my ISP. Why? Because all the other Roller installs seems to hum along just fine with no issues (i.e. Dave and JRoller). I get OutOfMemory Errors and too many connections open. As of last night, I'm thinking of a new strategy. Netcraft reports that this site is capable of running Resin 3.0.3. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it certainly seems like it to me. Now I just need to sit down and 1) figure out how to setup Roller on Resin and 2) do it. Knowing my luck, migrating to Resin won't solve anything, but it's worth a try!

Happy Birthday Abbie!

One year ago today, early this morning at 12:52 a.m. - the best thing that every happened to us was born. Abbie Loo - what a cool kid. I never thought life could be so much fun as a Dad. I knew it would be good, but I never thought it would be this much fun!

Abbie on her 1st Birthday

Sports, Sports, Sports

I've had quite a ride these last couple of days. I started my new project yesterday, and spent the evening at the Monday Night Football game at Mile High Stadium. A buddy and I had great seats thanks to another friend's season tickets - 6th row, 45 yard line. It was awesome - too bad The Broncos lost (24-23) - but at least it was a good game. Tonight, my companion from last night got (free) club-level seats to see The Colorado Avalanche at The Pepsi Center. It was another great game - went into overtime and resulted in a 4-4 tie. Professional sporting events sure are a good time...

Damn Again

I just started at my new gig today and I mentioned to my boss about the great conference next weekend: No Fluff Just Stuff. 10 minutes later we were talking about what days I needed off next week for our family trip to Missouri. And then it hit me - I booked two things on the same fricken' weekend! No Fluff, Just Stuff is next weekend and I'll be out of town. I've paid for both, and I can't cancel on family - so it looks like I'll have to (try to) cancel my attendance at NFJS. Damn - I'm never going to make it to this thing. I tried back in May and had no luck then either. I guess the whole "weekend conference thing" just doesn't work for me...

New Tomcat Releases: 4.1.29 and 5.0.14 Beta

I know these have already been announced on javablogs.com, but no insight was given - so here's some lovin'. 4.1.29 seems to be merely an upgrade to DBCP 1.1 - which is great AFAIK because the "kill abandoned connections" hasn't been working for me. Hopefully DBCP 1.1 fixes this. Unfortunately, I'm running 5.0.12 on this site (where I'm still having connection issues) and the 5.0.14 release seems to only have DBCP 1.0. Oh well, maybe they'll upgrade to 1.1 in the next release. I'll still upgrade this site to 5.0.14 - maybe sometime this weekend.

Later: I upgraded this site to 5.0.14 and it does appear to have DBCP 1.1. Also, the abandoned connection timeout might actually work - or at least it's doing some logging - as indicated by the following message:

AbandonedObjectPool is used (org.apache.commons.dbcp.AbandonedObjectPool@1077fc9)
   LogAbandoned: true
   RemoveAbandoned: true
   RemoveAbandonedTimeout: 60

Hibernate 2.1 Beta 5 Released!

Normally I wouldn't announce a Hibernate beta release (since it is a beta and I'm not currently using it), but there's a bunch of bug fixes (see release notes) that folks might be able to use. You can also download this bad-boy if you so desire.

On a side note ~ I find it amusing how my real-world projects influence my open source contributions. I don't follow Hibernate much because I don't use it day to day. On my last few projects, I've used it a lot. When I've used it, I've also used AppFuse, and therefore - I tend to contribute the AppFuse's development more. Same goes for the displaytag - which I haven't used in a project in several months - hence, no code commits from me. The good news is that on my current project, I have been using Struts Menu a LOT and I've committed some wicked new stuff to CVS. I'm busy writing documentation on it now so it will be easier to use for all. Maybe I'll try to convince my next project to use Roller for Project Status Reports...

Rsync Bookmarks

Chris has a couple of nice links about Rsync. I've been looking to use rsync to backup my iTunes Library on my Linux box in case my laptop dies. Hopefully these links will serve as nice bookmarks when I finally get around to doing this.

Panther ships with postfix instead of sendmail

I've been using localhost as my smtp server for quite some time on my PowerBook. It hasn't worked for a couple of days, and therefore, I've just stopped sending e-mail when I'm at work (I use my ISPs server at home). Finally, I buckled up and did 5 minutes worth of research to figure out the problem. It turns out that Panther doesn't ship with sendmail (which I previously had configured), but rather postfix - which I've never even heard of. Thanks to a little searching on the Apple Support site, I came across this discussion which has detailed instructions on how to configure postfix. The bonus is and that they actually worked! I still don't know what postfix is, but I assume it's just like sendmail, but for some reason it's better (or why would they have replaced sendmail).
