I’ve been waiting since Devoxx for the Java Store to become available in Belgium.Seemingly zero changes since then 
Although it might not be the most original idea, it does sound like a natural fit for the java platform on the desktop.
Anyone knows if Oracle killed this off or if it died when James Gosling left Oracle ?
I for one am still rooting for this to actually happen. Yes I’m a dreamer.
Mostly so I don’t forget myself next time 
Don’t forget to checkout only the wanted HEAD revision from svn:
svn co -r HEAD https://src.springframework.org/svn/spring-framework/trunk spring-framework
If you have ant as part of your distro (as is the case in gentoo), download a binary ant distribution and run <your_new_ant_path>/bin/ant instead of the ‘default’ ant to prevent any classpath issues.
Make sure you do
export ANT_OPTS=”-XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m”
If necessary add -Xmx512m or more too.
Enter build-spring-framework and run
<your_new_ant_path>/bin/ant
to build Spring. In order for Eclipse to be able to find all required jar’s, you’re probably best running the resolve ant target in most of the subprojects.
Open import the projects to an Eclipse workspace, set the IVY_CACHE classpath var in Eclipse prefs to spring-framework/ivy-cache
I had a few errors in tests for the oxm bundle failing, but since I don’t really need them anyways I just removed the src/test source dirs from the oxm project in Eclipse
It’s 2 AM so yea, the above is probably pretty messy
I was getting 503′s and now no response at all . Lack of a temporarily down page or something similar leads me to assume this wasn’t planned upgrade or anything.
Of course this can happen to the best of us, but still: ouch!!
Me needs my mail
PS: maybe it’s got something to do with SSLStrip?
+1hrs: still no workies 
fraaakkk
+105mins : it’s back, I suppose we’ll never know what happened
Update : below stopped working after upgrading the kernel to version 2.6.18-92.1.22. Trying to find out why
Update2 : okay I was too fast probably, seems to be working fine after a reboot
The 2 onboard Marvell 88E8056 PCI-E ethernet on my P6T Deluxe weren’t autodetected by CentOS 5.2.
Got this workaround from the CentOS bugtracker :
# modprobe sky2
# echo “11ab 4364″ > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/sky2/new_id
It works!
There’s a warning of data corruption on Gigabyte boards with this workaround, so better check first and do some more looking if you’re in that category.
Get it hot! As I’ll probably be waiting for this release to hit the/some Gentoo/Ubuntu repo, I have to say I’m surprised at the seemingly short interval between the last update releases. Seems 11 was only last week somehow.
As my previous Athlon64 and current Intel i7 Core are both 64bit, I do have to say I’m anxious to try the long announced java plugin for 64bit platforms. I’ve been using icedtea 6 on gentoo for a while, but as I need a Sun JVM for professional stuff I’m glad this update has finally arrived. Curious to see if it lives up to it’s expectations.
Besides all that, the included improvements seem quite numerous (take a look at the release notes)
Just a quicky for future reference:
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout be -variant basic
Needed this in fluxbox.
Google, while not doing any evil and supporting open source and all, is really screwing up it’s browser by simply only providing a decent build for window, even in with it’s latest 2.0 pre-beta (whatever the hell that might mean, where are the days when an alpha was an alpha build and a beta was a beta)
We all should have known this would be the case, it’s a company and in the end, the numbers are against us linux users. Who cares if a substantial part of the tech community runs linux or apple, it’s a browser for the end user!
This little joyride has gone on long enough, back to firefox, opera and some konqueror for me. Really looking forward to firefox 3.1 by the way, native ogg theora support and omg-faster-than-chrome-javascript!
I should have known that ‘comic’ looked too neat for an app targeting linux + not that I could live without my firefox extensions anyways
So, although I’ve used and not especially dislike chrome, getting stuck on a single platform browser is the last of my intentions. Uninstalled baby!
Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede introduces a new UI for software updates.
In order for the Help->Software Updates submenu to show up again:
Easy as eating … fries!
Pigs seem to be able to fly as Adobe today released a preview 64bit release of it’s Flash plugin!
Are the days of using nspluginwrapper finally over? I suppose we can’t expect too much of a preview but those days seem to be coming!
If now we get a fast 64bit native java runtime (with a working -client option please), I guess the productive life in the 64bit Linux world is finally no more painful than the 32bit world.
Kudos Adobe, this is a step in the right direction!
Now, please also create a Linux version equivalent (or even something better maybe) to Digital Editions and I can actually take advantage of my digital subscribtion to www.standaard.be to read the entire paper digitally.
For your comfort and my own, I finally made took the (easy) step of OpenID enabling my own WordPress install, basically by just installing the OpenID plugin, along with it’s only dependency XRDS-Simple.
SInce installing in this case boils down to extracting two zip archives to <wp_root>/wp-content/plugins and activating the plugins in the Settings pane, this took about 1 minute. Setting up the OpenID plugin prefs took another minute and enabling libcurl support for php5 (apt-get install php5-curl ; /etc/init.d/apache force-reload) another 30 seconds.
Not bad. As a language, I tend to prefer Java over PHP, but this is about as simple as it gets I which deserves some kudos.
Also, providing category specific feeds is equally simple: just add the cat parameter to your current feed url with the id of the requested category. To see the id of your favorite category, just examine any category URL and copy/paste the cat parameter from there. For example:
my default rss2 feed :
http://www.bosit.be/blog/?feed=rss2
feed only showing posts categorized under ‘Java’:
http://www.bosit.be/blog/?feed=rss2&cat=6
Easy as eatin’ pie!
