I’m using openoffice base in order to extract various data from a postgresql database to a oocalc file to make charts. This can vary from work related to blogosferic charts. I am using the sdbc postgresql driver and not the jdbc alternative. Since by default ubuntu intrepid ibex does not install the “base” package I tried to do a simple apt-get install openoffice.org-base to my horror this tries to bring a lot of gcj dependencies even if I had already installed a sun sdk....

Mancarea de gutui mi-a ramas ca o amintire de toamna de la bunica. Desi am mancat poate doar de cateva ori cand eram mic mi-aduc aminte de ea ca o mancare magica si calda. Asa ca acum cand magia nu mai e asa de simplu de gasit am cumparat gutui, m-am inspirat de la Amalia si iacata mancare de gutui, la fel ca atunci cand eram mic. Mancare de gutui...

Updated 2008-11-14: vrei sa stii cate drumuri duc la tine conform datelor mele? Da-mi un mail si intreba-ma. La webstock Andrei Rosca ma intreba ce cred despre numarul de pasi in care poti ajunge de la un blog la altul folosind harta blogosferei. I-am raspuns atunci ca din ce am vazut blogosfera e foarte conectata si daca exista insulite (componente conexe) acestea sunt mici, nesemnificative relativ la marea masa a blogurilor....

I don’t know why, even if there is a lot of documentation on the subject the mod_jk installation still seems a bit of mystic elements. This is why I decided to write a very short mod_jk configuration guide oriented for debian, ubuntu linux systems. First, mod_jk is an apache module which allows a more customized communication to an apache tomcat server using the AJP 1.3 protocol. This usually happens using the TCP port 8009 so yes, there must be a connection from the apache server to the tomcat one....

In piata a venit toamna. Tarabele cu fructe sunt pline doar cu mere si cateva gutui. Doar intr-un colt, la taraba cu fructe uscate, o babuta vindea castane. Mi-era pofta si am lasat-o sa-mi povesteasca cum se prepara se cresteaza castanele destul de mult ca sa permita sa se umfle si sa fie mai usor de decojit se lasa la cuptor la foc mic mic pentru 10 – 15 minute se pun apoi intr-un prosop ud pentru 5 – 10 minute ca sa fie mai usor de decojit Castane coapte...

I’ve been waiting with impatience the new Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. So I’ve downloaded the CD as soon as it appeared and started upgrading the Ubuntu 8.04 on my DELL Latitude D820 to the new version. The install Since I’ve had some problems in the past with the upgrade process I’ve decided to do it simple and just do a clean install on a different partition based on the desktop installer CD....

I am quite a fan of BPM concepts and since for the time JBPM is the most know implementation which I have used already in several projects I am stuck with it. Yet it’s one of the more complex-inefficient models I have seen. Enough cause to loose a few days. The context The application was tested with a few tens of workflows and works reasonable. Increasing the number of workflows by an order of ten and you have long waiting minutes ahead just for the simple task of finding the TaskInstances....

One week ago I migrated my personal site/blog from Plone to WordPress. As such I’ve decided to write a small comparison of the 2 systems. Let’s pun things in my context. A few years ago I’ve worked on a custom CMS implementation. The goal was to develop a product targeted for accesibility and simplicity of use. And, as it was the golden age it was decided to implement it from scratch using java....

In ultimele saptamani n-am prea avut timp sa fac de mancare asa ca mi s-a parut foarte interesanta provocarea lui Rodiq de a folosi ingredientele chinezesti: urechi de lemn, bambus si sos de soia gasite, culmea, in Bucuresti. Ingrediente orez, baza de orez carne de pui 1/2 ceapa rosie de apa 1 ardei rosu 1 morcov urechi de lemn uscate curry, sos de soia, piper, sare Metoda urechile de lemn sunt niste ciuperci pe care le poti gasi in forma uscata asa ca prima etapa consta in a pune apa la fiert....

Pana trece criza mondiala m-am hotarat sa-mi fac muraturi. Ingrediente Baza 3 kg castraveti (mici si verzi) niste conopida 3 vinete 1 kg de gogonele (tari, mici si verzi) 1/2 kg de gogosari Condimente 4 bucati hrean 3 catei usturoi frunze de visin (din visinul vecinei) boabe de mustar, marar, ardei iuti sare, otet Metoda am pus frunze de visin pe fundul borcanelor am inghesuit in borcane (de la IKEA, frumoase dar fara a fi etanse cum am descoperit cu tristete dupa) toate legumele pe caprarii (ca sa-mi satisfac toate poftele si ideile de muraturi) am curatat hreanul si usturoiul si le-am pus bucatele raspandit frumos in borcane am pus boabe de mustar si ardei iuti taiati in fiecare borcan am pus betele de marar deasupra ca atunci cand pun lichid legumele sa ramana deasupra am pus facut 2 tipuri de lichid: 1....
