As one can expect I am using a template to generate a google-sitemap for my site. However I am experiencing the problem that the photos are static (generated by JAlbum) and I wanted to separate the static and dynamic part. Dynamic part <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br></br><urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84"<br></br> xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal"<br></br> xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal"<br></br> tal:define="results python:container.portal_catalog(<br></br> portal_type = ['News Item','Document', 'Topic'], <br></br> review_state=['published','visible'],<br></br> sort_on='modified' ,sort_order='reverse');<br></br> dummy python:request.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml');<br></br> dummy2 python:request.RESPONSE.setHeader('charset', 'UTF-8');"<br></br> tal:condition="results"<br></br> tal:on-error="nothing"><br></br> <url tal:repeat="result results"><br></br> <tal:block tal:define="resultObject result/getObject;"<br></br> tal:on-error="nothing"><br></br> <loc tal:content="resultObject/absolute_url">http://www....

Goal Add a iptables rule for a dynamic changing IP with an associated dyndns host.

There are 2 problems: the iptables manual says (quote): -s, --source [!...

The office space, the guys with ties and suits. They all stay around me, watch me, expect from me. It’s my job to install things, to make them work in a completely new environment in a predetermined time. It’s the last day of the install and I need to have everything working now to avoid being late. Driven to improve, to assure stability only generates new issues and when problems appear for a moment I loose hope, I feel everything is falling apart and that those guys are looking at me with heavy eyes....

I’ve hoped that migrating plone from 2.5.1 to 2.5.3 would be simple as a breeze but I ended up loosing 5h during my saturday. Initially.

I have been working to create a dojo based calendar which can show events in a way similar to google calendar. After searching the web with no results and starting working on my own I found by chance this wonderful tutorial on how to create a dojo calendar. This only shows how to load the calendar entries from an external XML format (trimmed down format similar to google calendar). <feed><br></br> <entry><br></br> <id>1</id><br></br> <title>energomontaj IEA 19225</title><br></br> <summary>When: 2007-07-11T10:00:00 60</summary><br></br> <content>Intalnire de prezentare energomontaj</content><br></br> <link href="https://devel....

In new versions of JBoss (such the 4.0.5 which I am using) there is a quartz-ra.sar service which should allow me to define some a job with a cron like specification. Searching the forums and the jboss site I was able to put together quickly an example: import org.jboss.annotation.ejb.ResourceAdapter;import org.jboss.logging.Logger;import org.quartz.Job;import org.quartz.JobExecutionContext;import org.quartz.JobExecutionException; import javax.ejb.MessageDriven;import javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty; @MessageDriven(activationConfig = { @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "cronTrigger", propertyValue = "0/2 * * * * ?") }) @ResourceAdapter("quartz-ra....

In the last few years I continuously battled to keep my weight under control. All the work, stress and deadlines pushed me out of balance and I had to fight it back each time. Inside I always known it’s a question of speed and volume but I could never formulate in such an applicable way. Not until a few weeks ago and I waited for so long until I would reach one of the otherwise impossible targets in order to try to write it down....

Getting the correct date and time was always a problem but I could not expect it’s still a problem on today java and OS versions. Trying to deploy a JBoss on various Linux and JBoss I could not notice that on each system the date in the log was different from the localtime. Initially I thought it’s just a JBoss configuration problem but a simple example shows it’s not: import java....
