Does anyone know a flowchart drawing program? DiaGen was promising, but it's a little buggy. Nothing seems to be released using neither GEF [eclipse] nor GEF [tigris]. Perhaps someone will have the time to do one with SATIN. […]

Are JSP worth the pain ?
vendredi 6 juin 2003. Cyberpunk
I've done JSP for almost 3 years now, and I can't understand anymore the ecstasy around it which seems to reign in some circles. At the beginning there was HTML, and HTML was cool. And then some spirits thought they could do applications inside a simple web browser, denying its most powerful feature […]

Dangling locks
mercredi 4 juin 2003. Cyberpunk
In Office, when you work on a document on a "windows share", a lock is put. This is the same approach in Visual Source Safe, exclusive locking. Most of the time, it's completely useless, because there is someone in charge for the file edition (but the Office programs don't let you view a […]
Days like this, I want to throw windows through the window
mercredi 4 juin 2003. Cyberpunk
For three hours now, I try to reinstall the driver for my Wacom tablet. Multiple install, uninstall, registry cleaning, safe mode reboot for erasing protected files... No error message during the installation, no message in the system logs, but no uninstaller appears into the add/remove control […]
Time to format... soon...

I can't synchronize anymore my PDA via infrared, PInstall fails miserably whatever the connection, Outlook takes ages to start and refresh... It's time to do a clean install of Window$.

The modern working conditions
mardi 20 mai 2003. Cyberpunk
I'm currently in an office with some IBM NetVista workstations... it's incredibly noisy, I don't know why they need that much airflow, but the fan is blowing all the time. I'm gonna have an headache.

Struggling with Samba and CUPS
lundi 5 mai 2003. Cyberpunk
Moved the old laptop which acts as a print server from Windows 2000 to Debian. CUPS works fine, but I can't manage to make Samba to serve the cups drivers... geez... and this is the result of two days of work, crawling through insane messages...

I don't understand JSP supporters
lundi 28 avril 2003. Cyberpunk
I've started to work on web sites some years ago, and as of today, I work with two environments: JSP/Servlet and PHP. Working with them, on different scales for different applications, I've to say that JSP is a kludge, and it's bewildering it has so much momentum. (Got to see some friends, more on […]

Comments on "Pocket PC vs. Palm: Which is Really Easier?"
mercredi 16 avril 2003. Cyberpunk
You can find the article here. Not a bad piece of text at all, but there are half-truth all the way. This article is based on a comparison of my M100 series Palm and my iPAQ 3900. An entry-level Palm with a not really entry level Compaq. It wouldn't be significative IF the evaluation wasn't […]

WSAD, WAS: lessons learned
lundi 7 avril 2003. Cyberpunk
WSAD can mess up your deployment descriptor when you are refactoring, especially the proprietary ones (.xmi) WAS is very poor at reporting low level exceptions: UnsatisfiedLinkError when a driver needs a shared library, errors when a .xmi is wrong, etc. deleting all the .xmi when something wierd […]

Definitely, IBM tools are very sensitive about the used JDK. In WSAD, you can't generate an EJB deployment code if you run it on SUN JDK 1.4, but it works with IBM JDK 1.3. I don't find it's a normal behaviour, their products, especially developement tools, should be more JDK agnostic.

XMLRPC for mail delivery?

Caramail is a famous (at least here) free mail account hosting service. Today its mailer daemon sent me that: Command died with status 1: "/usr/sbin/mail.local". Command output: xmlrpc_client.c:185: assertion failed It's rather strange to involve an heavywight protocol for mail delivery. […]

JMS continued, little touch of SWT....
jeudi 27 mars 2003. Cyberpunk
Thanks to Fokko, pointing me to this valuable resource, I was able to proceed in my understanding of both JMS and JNDI. My first goal is to write basically a simple sender and listener of differents queues, in order to eventually simulate the reactions of a target system (programs running on a […]
