Games I play from time to time. Of course all of them are linux based. Crack-attack Very nice OpenGL tetris like game. Can be found in ubuntu repositories. Check the site. Be warned however that this game can be very, very addictive. apt-get install crack-attack World of Padman A game I heard recently about but captivated me right away. Based on Quake engine but the levels and weapons are all the fun....
I am installing feisty for friends trying to convince them to migrate to linux yet I have found some more or less stupid things which hold some of them (or make them revert from time to time) to windows. It’s not MS office or games which they miss but some features in yahoo messenger which I cannot replicate using pidgin (gaim). Here is a list of what has been qualified as great improvements from a yahoo user point of view....
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....

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 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....
