Maybe you already noticed it: I moved from the domain “adminsight.de” to my shorter domain named “pgt.de”.

I managed to change a few of the referring external links to my new domain.

For the rest I created a 301 redirection to the new domain, so the transition should be [...]

Just found an old [...]

I just found this new Demotivator from despair.com…

This is a strong candidate for a [...]

I have recently mavenized some of my GWT projects. It has been a long time since the last time I touched maven on any machine (7 maven minor releases to be exact).

Let’s begin with my objectives:

build my GWT app everywhere, anywhere and without hassle. I do not want to edit my web.xml after packaging, and I [...]

I am very happy to moderate a q&a session with Rod Johnson at the upcoming Jax conference. Our q&a comes right after his keynote:

The Future of Enterprise Java – Q&A with Rod Johnson
In this Q&A Session you can ask Rod Johnson himself about the future of Enterprise Java. Rod is one of the world’s leading authorities [...]

I searched a little for Android blogs, articles, videos and I found this nice trilogy from Mike. If you are interesting in learning more than just buzzwords arround Android have a look at theese:

Part 1 of 3 in an overview series on the Android platform. In this segment, Mike gives an overview of the system architecture.

On the 3rd March (monday this week) the JUGS organized the so called Spring Release Party. As a matter of fact, there was nothing actually released (ok, Sprin 2.5.2 came out the day before, but who wants to make a party on a minor release…), but there was still much to show and much to say. [...]

Did you ever have the urge to know more about some OSS project before using it, or telling someone else should use it?

Here two very good (trend) analysis tools I have been using lately:

MarkMail
Ohloh

Let’s take a look at Esper (the ESP/ CEP Engine):

Have a look at those links.
Few developers, quite new codebasis, chatter in [...]

A few weeks ago I first read about the Spring Framework Certification (SFC)  program offered by SpringSource:

The Spring Framework Professional Certification (SFC) is for software professionals (architects, developers and consultants) who desire to acquire certification of their Spring Framework knowledge. Achieving this certification provides clear evidence that a software professional understands the basic syntax and structure [...]

I recently worked on an article about GWT where I showed two sides of GWT.

First, GWT defines a new way of developing Webapps. By redefining our procedure of development, providing the GWT-Compiler and the development shell and the GWT-Browser in the hosted modus, GWT allowes us to develop in Java, in our favorite IDE and use [...]

This is one snippet that I sometimes need, but always forget how it looks like:

to change directory rights:

find . -type d -exec chmod 740 “{}” \;

to change file rights:

find . -type f -exec chmod 640 “{}” \;

Obviously I do not need it often enough (or I would rembember it and this posting would not have happened), [...]

I spent some time watching conference videos and small talking to some people and the word “Scala” popped up quite often in the last week.

So i thought “this must be interesting!” – well, at least it is now on my “candidate hype of the year” radar. I’ll have a deeper look at it – hmm – [...]

The point is: is Android creating a precedence that could endanger the Java ecosystem?

Yes, you read it right. There is already a name or it – the “android effect“.

So what is the “android effect” and why should we, Java developers be afraid of it? Well, today we know for sure that Java is a very successful [...]

There seems to be hope left for faster processors with clockspeed far above 20GHz – upto 50GHz. The new technology is called STG – stacked transistor gate – a three dimensional design, an eventual successor to the standard planar transistor design. I found this article with a bird’s eye view from the STG design.

But even if [...]

Ich bin kürzlich (aus gegebenem Anlass) über ein, zugegeben recht altes (04.2006), “Online Artikel” von Oliver Ihns gestolpert: Umkehr der Beweislast

Da die Java EE Version 5 Spezifikation und Produkte langsam den Weg zu der einen oder anderen IT Abteilung schafft, und zur Zeit bei verschiedenen Projekten als mögliche Technologie in Frage kommt, stellt sich [...]

After upgrading my local server to SuSE 10.2 I had serious problems setting up Hylafax. Sending and receiving fax worked fine, but forwarding incoming faxes to emails did not succeed.

After lots of testing I found out that the scripts changed, and that the $7 variable was not available anymore. So FaxDispatch did not get the callerid, [...]
