Yup, today I’m releasing yet another piece of cool free software! It solves a problem we’ve had at our company, the tester tometimes tested stuff that wasn’t deployed yet, and the developers thought it was deployed and this caused some weird situations sometimes. Using the plugin I’ve written, we’re able to expose “which version is [...]

I’ve upgraded my desktop and laptop last week. By “and” I mean that I’ve bought an desktop replacement class notebook – an Asus G73 series. Amongst many nice parts it has I’m very happy about the harddrives – Seagate Momentus XT, click the link to see an very interesting benchmark of it. Anyways, that’s not [...]

As my team is using a kinda weird source eclipse code formatter setup, that other IDEs can’t emulate in 100% I sometimes found myself committing in a file with only a few changed spaces. Of course, I could use “external-formatter” plugins etc but that’s no good. Running eclipse’s formatter each time I want to format [...]

Yup, it’s time for two follow ups to problems we encountered during my life examples. Why didn’t git see our “rename” as rename? Although yes it is true just as I said during the presentation that “git mv is just an alias” I’ve forgotten about that it’s an little bit bigger alias: git mv oldname [...]

Yup, I’m now an happy owner of an Amazon Kindle. In case you don’t know what it is (…how’s that even possible…?) it’s an ebook reader. One of that kind we’ve been waiting for a loooong time now – with an e-ink display and free internet access etc etc… Here’s an super quick review of [...]

As this years WARSJawa looked very interesting since it’s been annouced. I immediatly decided to go there – and tried to convince some friends to go with me. In the end, 2 friends came with me: Andrzej Grzesik (from PolishJUG) and Temporal – a LISP/Erlang hacker from my university ;-) We had to ride out [...]

Hi guys, todays post is about yet another fun and small hack, namely: Having twitter posts (tweets) to be displayed right along all wordpress blog posts (posts) in the same timeline (wordpress main view). しかし!!! As my blog is being listed on http://www.dworld.pl/Blogsfera (and for other obvious reasons) I didn’t want all my tweets to [...]

At last I was able to attend one of the NOSQL Summer meetings. It’s topic yesterday was “Paxos made simple” (this paper by Leslie Lamport (wikipedia entry about him)). We also found this document from Google Labs very interesting and usefull during the discussion – Paxos Made Live – An Engineering Perspective (Tushar Chandra, Robert [...]

I just found an nice thing in Spring 3.0. I was using it in one of mu current projects, but the client wanted us to use 2.5.6 as it would be provided on the server. Switching back was really easy, no problems there ;-) One interesting thing I found was that while in Spring 3.0 [...]

At work we use an hacked “up in a few hours” webapp to track our working hours. And its basically “enough”… until I have to get out from work (while being in a hurry – which I always am) and simply turn off my PC before stopping the work timer… I’d then have to switch [...]
