JBoss, JMS and WebSphere MQ

Trying for two days to run WebSphere MQ (formerly MQSeries) within JBoss and its JMS provider. The problem is that... it's the first time I use those 3 things :-) Regarding the development, JBoss works surprisingly well: fast startup time, "easy" configuration. It's not easy in the sense  […]

Winamp plugin: LongPlayer

I discovered today LongPlayer, a standalone application, pluggable with Winamp and XMMS. This application monitors what you are listening to, allows you to rate the music, and to build custom playlists. Since it records what you are listening to and when, LongPlayer is able to feed Winamp or XMMS  […]

Java SDK 1.4.1_02 out!

Since IBM didn't release a driver fixing the problem for my ThinkPad A30 (company provided, I'll never buy that if I can chose), I was forced to disable all DirectX related hardware acceleration (no overlay, almost all software rendering...), because every website can have an applet using Swing and  […]

Saved

After a reboot, all went well. Weird. M$ owns me.

WSAD dropped me as well

I've just tried with WSAD... failure as well... bad bad bad...

YAdNNA: FeedExpress

Yet Another dotNet News Aggregator : FeedExpress... not cross-platform, and closed source for the moment. Does anyone knows if there is already a good CLI => C# decompiler ?

Found on slashdot...

By smilingirl: Lord of the Desktops Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit. As we were talking I mentioned that I had recently installed Windows XP on my PC. I told him how happy I was with this operating system and showed him the Windows XP CD. To my surprise he threw it  […]

Two good news aggregator with .Net ...

... and I don't know any good one in Java. I should read less and start to do something with my free time. For the record: Syndirella by Dmitry Jemerov. Not cross-platform. Aggie by Joe Gregorio. Not cross-platform.  […]

A "look and feel" is not a replacement for a native UI

In Netbeans does SWT!, Danno Ferrin says: Ray mentioned that he didn't like the "swingy" look of NetBeans, and this does a good job of getting rid of it. Please, look two seconds the screenshot... look the screenshot on that page. It's striking yes. JGoodies tried to mimic SWT in its  […]

GBA reborn...

Just a quick note, my girlfriend gratefully took the soldering iron and installed an Afterburner in my GBA. Now I'm less reluctant to play with it again :-)

Nintendo has betrayed us

©nintendo They've announced the released of a new GBA with light. What can we do, us first purchasers? Either go AfterBurner'ing, or buy the new unit, with a completely new design, just in order to show us that we've bet on the wrong horse? Poor nintendo.

Poor Vivendi Universal... we can live without them

One thing fun... today I tried to find some information on a CD published by one of the hundreds labels of Universal Music. I thought at first that it would be easy, since the vision of JM Messier is "convergence of media", their sites must be top-notch. So let's try: since I'm looking for  […]

Chora, a CVS viewer

Found today that PEAR used Chora, an Horde project. I might try this one one day, and see if it usable with TortoiseCVS. Those projects on Horde are impressive...

Six is mad

Check nanoweb, an HTTP server written in PHP. Check also sites using the t0x-engine, so bad the source code has not been released.

Big Blue or the the big unavailability

I've finally found why Bouygues Telecom online services are so often unavailable. They were made by IBM! The same that have a temporary unavailability with their HelpCenter server for at least two months...

Sans titre

I should post somewhere one of this day my customised version for i18n of the GPLed template engine XTemplate... and write the documentation... and do some benchmarks...

Waiting eagerly for 1.4.1_02, mantis

The correction of the infamous computer freezing is announced for 1.4.1_02. I can't believe the fix has not yet been released, considering that the bug report is 6 months old. And those guys want the JRE to be bundled with Windows? No way, it's my 4th reboot today, I don't want this pain to be  […]

Please, we're not in the Middle-Age

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?

Russ would like to see Eclipse coded in Swing... Please no. Eclipse is snappier on my machine than my 60kB small programs in Swing...
