Nightrace Schladming 2007
In: General
31 Jan 2007Yesterday I was at the Nightrace in Schladming and it was great – the crowd of 50000 people was amazing! We had a really good place to see the racers driving by only a few meters away and to overlook the mass of people around the track. I made some pictures and videos but I [...]
Another unbelievable speed run
In: General
30 Jan 2007GeekIdiot posted another video of an unbelievable speed run. This time it is Super Mario Bros. 2 – anybody who has played those games back in the ’80s will be amazed. Whew! UPDATE: Man, The Legend of Zelda in 35 Minutes!
Encoding filter for Java web applications
29 Jan 2007Dealing correctly with encodings is one of the most important things in Java web applications (if not even in Java). The best way to avoid troubles with different encodings is to use only one encoding throughout the entire web application. The encoding of choice is UTF-8 which is able to deal with almost every known [...]
Tomcat remote debugging
In: Java
25 Jan 2007Sometimes your web applications behave different when deployed to the application server although everything worked fine when running inside Eclipse on your workstation. In this case it is helpful to remote debug the application. In case of using Tomcat as application server just add the following VM parameters to JAVA_OPTS: -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n I do this [...]
Firefox proxy plugin
In: Web
24 Jan 2007Today I found a great Firefox plugin for configuring proxy servers. It allows you to define multiple proxy servers and patterns (per wildcards or regular expressions) when to use which proxy server. As a software developer it is very usefull to be able to define which site is loaded thru a proxy and which not [...]

In: General

New BlackBerry devices
In: Blackberry
15 Jan 2007Again I have to say that I do not care very much about the BlackBerry Pearl. So it is not very interesting for me that the White BlackBerry Pearl is now available officially. Something more interesting for me are the new infos about BlackBerry 8800 and 8900 devices. Seems like 8800 is the one without [...]
New Java property syntax in JDK 7
In: Java
13 Jan 2007In JDK 7 there will be a support for a new property syntax. public property String name; Defines a property name and you do not have to write a getter and a setter for it. The new syntax for accessing this property was a little bit shocking for me when I saw it the first [...]
XSLT support for Eclipse
In: Java
11 Jan 2007Today I found this plugin which allows you to execute XSLT transformations inside Eclipse and evaluate XPATH statements on XML files. Until now I used Cooktop to work with XSLT files but I think I will give this plugin a try.
Ctrl-S in a linux shell
In: Linux
11 Jan 2007When using vi to edit documents on linux systems from time to time I press Ctrl-S to save my changes – damn Windows shortcuts  This kind of freezes the shell because it locks the terminal output. If this happens to you press Ctrl-Q which causes the shell to resume terminal output. See this blog [...]
