I was actually chatting with a co-worker today about the threat posed by one of us (or for that matter, anyone travelling) losing a laptop. Just getting caught up on my blog reading duties and came across this ArsTechnica post on the subject.
Sounds like Seagate will start shipping drives next year with [...]
Anyone have experience with the tool FireStorm/DAO ?
FireStorm/DAO makes Java software developers more productive by automatically generating Java source code for accessing relational databases. The benefits provided by CodeFutures Java code generation approach are higher developer productivity, better software quality, reduced complexity, and lower maintenance costs.
Basically it helps ease ones pain associated with creating a [...]
Well tonight I finished hacking together my first attempt at a Ruby on Rails-based application.
Basically what I built was a clone of the *wars (ala kittenwars) site where you put images head to head and allow the viewer to vote. Not to be shy about ripping off ideas, I also borrowed the CC-licenced [...]
I must say that the next version of the Notes desktop client (code named: “Hannover”) is one of the nicest looking java applications I’ve ever seen.
Screenshots are available here.
What’s “Hannover” you ask?
“Hannover” is the next feature release of Notes after 7.0. A ship date isn’t being announced today. Technical previews of this release [...]
I played around with Ruby on Rails tonight for a couple of hours. I guess I’ve joined the masses now.
It’s pretty cool. Enuf said. Cool enough to push XUL onto the back burner for the next short whle.
A pretty slick little framework. Simplier than but similar to what I’m used to [...]
If you live this side of Mars, you’ve heard of Flickr.
If you have a dog, you’ve probably already published a Flickr hack and have it listed here.
Jeff Atwood has written a short piece on flickr hacks and includes a brief summary of some pretty cool extensions to the Flickr API.
I must admit, [...]
I got an IM today from a friend and former colleague who works for a company (not to be mentioned here) that develops software incorporating substantial use of XUL. Besides the recruitment offer, I was intrigued with their usage of XUL. In their case, XUL makes perfect platform sense and is a necessicity [...]
Jeremy Zawodny has a good writeup where he poses the question, what if search engines listened to pings? or offered a compatible ping API?
I’m not involved with search but I do agree with his four critical variables about getting search right. Now I’ve only taken a cursory look at Google Sitemaps and haven’t yet [...]
Although its still in an incubation stage, Microsoft recently released part 3 of their start.com initiative. You can check out the latest incarnation here or here (if you want to skip the little puzzle).
Start.com is still in a preview phase but offers an interesting insight into what Microsoft might be planning for their next [...]
I’m not a NetBeans user but after seeing this demo I may be forced to re-consider that choice. It sounds like this functionality will be included in the next release of the IDE, with a preview development version coming out at or around the time of JavaOne.
I’ve never really used any of the currently [...]
