We will see...

I'm willing to see the result of the effort of converting a big maven(2) build to ant.

In my own organization i ended up using artifactory to let maven be in some ways happier, indeed maven works fine for me for the 80% but i've never completed and automatic full release cycle...

More to come...

Ignorance can be easily achieved by laziness

Two days ago Tapestry 5 preview has been released and an announce made it public domain on a usual-suspected site.

Suddenly some jerking people start to came outside their lurking life starting to wine with some of the most incredible reasons I've ever read, that's not even two cents that's two small pieces of pissy-poo!

Anyway playing with Tapestry5 is a great pleasure and I've been able to produce some code snippet which made me able to re-use and even inject my old Hivemind modules in my new Tapestry5 pages/components/services, this seems to me a great target reached at a preview alpha release stage.

As i read on someone signature note "Peace can be reached only by understanding", i would like to add "Ignorance and arrogance can be achieved by mental laziness"

Oh if you want the code, search through mailing list archive, if you're able.

Thanks to exist guys!

If you do it, do it best

As i usual say, but as i usual get when i do what i preach is poo smack in the face I'm getting tired and changing my path.

You spoke to your colleagues to explain him why you should go that way or the other, why is so convenient to spend more time on development while you can as later you cannot afford it, then suddenly you get to the point where the specs are written and approved but the reality is that you've to change how the core is doing its job just to fulfill a gap you're manager is sneaking under your own seat.
I write manager but i should write trader.

There will be a day, there will be my day.

... yeah yeah... i know it's the excuse of the looser, so what's the deal!?

It feels warmy

It's night here now, i come back home after a dinner with some friends i didn't catch up since June.

It's wired to feel more warmy with guys you don't expect when the ones closer just don't.

Thank you guys!

Event driven

Simply my mind is event driven so is everything i happen to write.
I don't mind do-that-then-please-cut-off-hat i simply expect it to happen then react.

Why do people expect to program the way their software goes, that not feasible, it's even less feasible to impose users to play as you wish, they simply doesn't listen to you.

So simply react insead of program.

What the hell is this

That's simply plain stupid.
How do you will use for your own day work something like:

Trying 83.x.y.z...
Connected to 83.x.y.z.
Escape character is '^]'.
Huawei Home Gateway 550
Login:
telnet> quit
Connection closed.

The monkey could even answer you it did the job, but when it suddenly stops how the monkey answer?

Does anyone with a clue on how network and transport layers works please give them a call and cover their sucked out monkey brain with some kind of intellectual property.

Just while you're there, please smile so to be kind sand so they'll not understand you're offending them.

No so a buzz, just magic

Actually i wish i could give it a try but let me play with AJAX stuff is not in the future plans of the guy who own it.

Following Tapestry user's list i got noticed by a new framework from Google which by a first glance doesn't sounds too attractive to me since they pretend to compile my code and produce HTML+JS (which builds AJAX) from it.

I whish i write the code no you. They said: "You write your front end in the Java programming language, and the GWT compiler converts your Java classes to browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML."

Well i've to see how it fits... more to come.

I wish i meet Murphy

Well, i don't know if i owe him a big demijohn of good wine for his own thoughts or a big punch on the nose.
I hate when it comes to me but that's sure Murphy got good reasons to speech that way.

Release time it's when you count on things your sure they will not work.

Like the first time

Yes... a deep breath and a deep jump in to the game

Thank you guys!

Web side of the moon

I've stated a lot of times that letting the HTML side of the work done by others not me was simply a dream.
Well this has come in front of me lately, I've developed an almost trivial web app which is based on CSS without touching any HTML word, that was (is since this is only 1.0 and will follow 1.x releases) an amazing way of work.

Kudos goes to my co-workers web guys which were able to work with part of HTML, not only the whole doc,but also (most of the) to the neat way Tapestry and HiveMind, overall, makes you do your own work.

I hope to reproduce this way of develop, yeah i know the gui was really trivial but it was an effectively funny job and things start to get funnier now on web side of the moon.

The commit bit

After submitting my latest patch to Mule i got invited by Trevis Carlson to be a committer to the project, he is the committer who imported my previous patches so I felt really good when received that invite so i accepted.
I owe Trevis a big thanks for all this.

Now i feel i can commit some useful to the project, just need to take time to get in touch with Mule's dev team practice, the next couple of months will be ver interesting.

HiveMind and Mule updated

I've updated the Mule support to HiveMind as a container for its managed components to be able to use the HiveMind service-id as a reference.
This is far more concise the the full class name and overall lets you abuse of it and have (under different service-id) different implementation of the same interface.

After stressing this in my current project i would like to consider having Mule to embrace a Registry supplied by an external entity.
Yep, i can already hear someone thinking to Tapestry...

That's bile!

Yes, that's what i call bile, and there's more and more frightening and frustrating, it's all nothing but true.

Let's say, no bile for nothing.

The mule in the hive

I'm glad to have had Mule to support HiveMind as a container context.

Now I'm alble to use all my services easly, just have to drop my jar packaged service in the mule classpath and it will be published in the registry for me to use it at my will. That's neat.

Funny is that I've never really understood what the name HiveMind was referred to but after have built some services it seems to me to suite perfectly with what the framework actually does, my services act as bees in a hive each coordinated with every other bees in the community.

I'm really pleased to work with this framework.

Analytics... flooded

Well, that's a very smooth service and as result they have been flooded by an amount of request they've been not able to fullfill.
That's what happen when you have cool idea and are able to put them to work.
Now they stopped the service for new users till they add more power, i was lucky enough to have signed up an account early.

Get rid of HTML stuff...

It's time to do some patchworks with Tapestry. Prototyping is finished the time to get dirty fingers is arrived and i get my own fingernails to scratch it.

I've always think to have my web designers produce HTML and sign a contract with them on the ids components should have to let me manage it, but I've found some practice (best one?) from Howard examples show a way to work which makes this impossible.
Let take the Border components from the template guide which everyone should use, i agree that's a good practice from a programmer perspective but my web designers would really like to see their own templates on every browser variant so they've to have the full template not just the snippet one, this cause me work when they produce new HTML output or they slightly modify one.

I'm starting to think I'll never get rid of this...

To embed the creepin thoughts

Well i recently have found time to conduct a very interesting survey on embedded system and solutions.

I've focused my time on OpenBSD and FreeBSD systems as they are the most familiar for me and as they both provide the necessary tools to build (easy) custom systems for embedded environment.

I hope to be able to share my experience, even if not completely.

By by Mac

My new and flashy iMac G5 leave me alone last Saturday morning.

Now it don't even boot, it just stop with a blank black screen, now i've to try some vodo from the Apple Care Service which point me to and (not so) hidden vodo-formula to make the mac come back to life.

I'll tell you.

Voodo is always voodo!
