Git is really simple and VERY powerfull. It makes svn look like an idiot – but that’s just my personal opinion ;-)
Anyways, I’m using github most of the time, but now I’d like to hava a non public repository (yet remote) for some small project. I’ve been commiting to a local git instance from the [...]

Zen points directly to the human heart,
see into your nature and become Buddha.
- Hakuin Ekaku (1685–1768)

For those who don’t know about zen coding (where have you been guys?) here’s a little sample:
Instead of writing:
<form class=”form-comment” id=”comment”>
<fieldset>
<input id=”myid” name=”name” type=”" />
<input onclick=”hideMe()” type=”" />
</fieldset>
</form>
You write

form.form-comment#comment>fieldset>input#myid[name=name]>input[onclick=hideMe()]
and hit [TAB].
To understand zen, you must understand yourself. (yet I also [...]

I have a low-memory VPS running online and thus always have to worry about what uses how much memory… Of course top and my favorite htop are very good tools to check this, but sometimes I just want to get a super simple report if I’m overusing memory or not yet. The bellow scripts (most [...]

I just stumbbled uppon an very interesting talk with Sun Microsystems’ Director of Web Technologies Tim Bra, abour the future of the Java Platform. They also mention stuff about REST/SOAP, SOA, Grails/Grails/Django etc. Is’s interesting to see how “bigshots” view these technologies.

[ktoso@homunculus ~]$ sudo [...]

Yup, it’s time for another JavaCamp “review”.
This time I was able to attend the whole thing, and didn’t miss the pizza – well, I just got one slice since we were so busy talking about Google’s Android with other programmers… ;-) The agenda was shorter than last time, but it still “had it’s moments”:

I passed all my exams at my first attempt and should have now some time to relax, right? Well something like that, I’m actually doing quite a lot these days. We’re on the roll with MySQL Integra.
Our server “Kopiec” is somewhat online (running CentOS off course) – we’re able to start/stop if thanks to a [...]

I am currently working on a simple but still quite fun/interesting (as is any project with a new framework :-)) webapp using Google Web Toolkit (it’s basically Google’s JEE framework for creating RIA). The webapp is an online crossword generator. The goal is to provide crosswords online and allow users solving them online with a [...]

Yeah! It’s time for another great JUG meeting. I’ll have to go quite far this time, as it’ll be in Poznań and that’s about 7h by train from Cracow… but at the very moment I saw who was going to be there, that is: Geertjan Wielenga (whose blog I’ve been reading for a long long [...]

…is exactly what I’m currently trying to do. Thus, I’m out of Mediaframe, and got involved in a fascinating and very cool project. Under the lead of Dr Marek Długosz me and 2 of my friends will be tackling the topic of “MySQL Data Storage Engine Comprehension – with focus on Automatics use cases”. It’s [...]
