Thanks to that someone/thing who came to my blog from Google Reader, I wouldn’t have known that the labs has came up with such a nice service. It’s your favourite feed reader (except of course being a server side one), in addition to a website subscription service. You can also use OPML to import your current lists. I also...
UPDATE (September 2009): During the past 4 years, this post has managed to be the no. 1 hit for people looking for IPATO exam samples. It was a hope for some and desperation for others. To my knowledge, no one was able to get those “screenshots” or any further insider’s info from the people who were here before (except...
I was getting ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in <controller#method>. The error was a bit weird, since I was getting it after a period of inactivity (overnight). The server was using a connection to the database which MySQL has closed due to a long period of inactivity I reopened the Rails Ticket as it seems the problem is not yet solved (at least...
FCKEditor is so powerful, but, when weighed against the fact that CrystalReports understands only a limited set of HTML tags (crHTMLText text interpretation), the benifits diminish. I’ve been trying for an hour to get the best of both words (FCKEditor, CrystalReports) with no real success. The HTML support in CrystalReports is quite basic and my HTML doesn’t render correctly...
I’m off to Cairo for some RPG training. Although, I’m not quite convinced with the language, but it is always nice to see how things perform. Besides… it’s kind of a company training policy.

Help developers focus on business aspects rather than configuration, integration issues. Smooth learning curve. AJAX wowing helpers and js libraries. The power...
Came across qooXdoo and I love it.Hard to choose a favorite widget as they’re all quite nice (Tree, Menu, Color Picker, Overlapping Window, Gallery, …). It also seems that integrating them into apps is easy, so, I might give them a try sooner. qooxdoo is an advanced open-source javascript based toolkit. qooxdoo continues where simple HTML is not enough...
I’m on a new gig. Freemarker + Spring + JBoss jBPM + Hibernate + MySQL + …. Sounds like a dangerous mix (nu-b in the first 4), but I’m up for the challenge. Wish me luck. Any comments/suggestions? Anything on jBPM in particular? (seems fairly new, least mature, least documented among the mix). I’ll try to keep the blog...
I added Recent Visitor Geographical Info to the list of sidebar links: First registered for a free account with GVisit and added their script to the blog. Got hold of GVisit RSS feed for recent-visitors’ geographical locations (couldn’t find the RSS link on their website today, seems to have been removed, but replacing the map.php with rss.php in the...
