Please, we're not in the Middle-Age
samedi 21 décembre 2002. Cyberpunk
I've just read Meg's Dial-Up Revelations at O'Reilly, and some things annoyed me... First, it's not pain au chocolate but pain au chocolat. (The only point in this first remark is to prevent people from reading further, they'll just say "those french are so arrogant" and leave, goodbye.) […]

Eclipse in Swing?
mercredi 18 décembre 2002. Cyberpunk
Russ would like to see Eclipse coded in Swing... Please no. Eclipse is snappier on my machine than my 60kB small programs in Swing...

Back on the Wired bias
dimanche 15 décembre 2002. Cyberpunk
The "journalist" article on Chandler is online. Even if the OSA Foundation website refers many times to Outlook, it's a little convenient for the Wired "journalist" to forget the role Mitch Kapor had with Lotus Notes. Should we see Chandler as an opponent to Outlook or as a […]

Problem with Roller?

It's always strange to see the times of the posts on those pages... it's the server time, and there is a 6 hours difference with local time. My timetable is not that weird.
Carlos Perez's rant
vendredi 13 décembre 2002. Cyberpunk
on JDO. Reducing this log entry to a rant is not fair, because it's thought. Everytime I read something about O/R mapping, I can't help it, I remember one project where we had CMP beans generated with Visual Age's Persistance Builder... whose links were affectionately destroyed by hand, because the […]
Back on Word...
vendredi 13 décembre 2002. Cyberpunk
Andy Oliver replies that he likes Office 97 and that it's reliable under Wine. I'm not that against Word, I think I started word processing with Word 2.0c under Windows 3.1, it was quite fun :-) After some years, I'm just a bit tired of how non-productive I am with Word. Typically, it loses my […]
Why programmers don't like to write documentation?
vendredi 13 décembre 2002. Cyberpunk
Because they are given tools like this one: Une exception d'application s'est produite : App : WinWord.dbg (pid=293) Quand : 11/20/2002 @ 15:26:2.408 Numéro d'exception : c0000005 (violation d'accès) fonction : HidOfDlg 30808d23 8b542404 mov edx,[esp+0x4] ss:0102d5e3=???????? 30808d27 8b01 […]
No more Visual Basic after tomorrow
vendredi 13 décembre 2002. Cyberpunk
For one month my job is to maintain a client-server application in VB5. I has not been the most fun thing in my life, but at least it provides some occupation. Quick pros and cons of VB5 : Pros Easy interface designing Keyword With enhances readability for multiples operations on an object Very well […]

From LGPL to ASL
jeudi 12 décembre 2002. Cyberpunk
Tapestry eventually changed its license from LGPL to ASL. License was probably the main restriction for Tapestry from joining the Jakarta project. Tapestry is a direct concurrent of Struts, and overlaps with other Jakarta projects. Tapestry is bundled with Jetty, a direct concurrent of Jakarta […]

FreeRoller donation
mercredi 4 décembre 2002. Tout venant
Today I made a donation to Anthony Eden equivalent to one year quality hosting of 60MB+unlimited MySQL tablespace... I have already one account like described, which could really bear the load of my little weblog, so why pay a second time for a service with no guarantee? I guess I like this idea of […]

Information decay
mardi 3 décembre 2002. Cyberpunk
u {color: green} Returning on the hungarian notation for Java, one very important thing to consider is how to maintain coherent information. If you don't pay attention to maintain your "fbsStatus" and other "hcnChilds" up to date with their real type and use across the […]

I for interfaces?
lundi 2 décembre 2002. Cyberpunk
Some days ago on Otaku, Cedric's weblog, "I is for Interface": The standard argument against such a practice is, again, that it breaks encapsulation: "I am dealing with a type, I don't care if it's an interface or a concrete type." It sounds good, we don't do such discrimination […]
