After many years running on my home server this blog is now hosted at lylix. I went to them because it was the only Gentoo/Funtoo VPS provider I could find:)

A Wiki for GentooPosted by: Gustavo Felisberto in Ciência/Tecnologia, Gentoo-dev, tags: Gentoo, wikiA long long time ago I voiced about the need for a wiki in the Gentoo project. In those days Gentoo-Wiki was starting up. Now Gentoo Wiki has been down for a few days. And according to the backup page it does not seem a fix is going to happen soon. If we had taken this project under an umbrella a long time ago our users would not be missing on this very important resource.

And you have another action that adds items. If you add an Item you can either just show a “blank” with the “All ok with addition” or even smarter is to use the

Struts 2 under IntelliJ IDEA 8.0M1Posted by: Gustavo Felisberto in Ciência/Tecnologia, Gentoo, Gentoo-dev, Geral, tags: intellij idea, java, struts 2If you like IDEA and use Struts 2 you can be happy to know that 8.0 release comes with a new Struts 2 plugin. There is a small tutorial on how to use it but it has some errors. package hello; import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport; public class HelloWorld extends ActionSupport { private String username; private String message; public String getMessage(){ return message; } public String execute(){ message = "Hello, " + username + "."; return SUCCESS; } public String getUsername() { return username; } public void setUsername(String username) { this.username = username; } } Second the JSP file can have a proper action: < %@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %> < %@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %> <html> <head><title>Simple jsp page</title></head> <body> Struts 2 Message: <s :property value="message" default="Guest." /> <s :form method="GET" action="HelloWorld"> Enter your name:<s :textfield name="username" /> <s :submit value="Submit" /> </s> </body> </html> And finally struts.xml can have the Action declared without the ugly unRESTFUL .action: < ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> < !DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd"> <struts> <package name="/" extends="struts-default"> <action name="HelloWorld" class="hello.HelloWorld"> <result name="success">/index.jsp</result> </action> </package> </struts> I really like IDEA when it comes to Java codding, and I can live with the quirks of the Struts 2 support. But one thing that makes me steam is the fact that I have to un-deploy and deploy the application for each change I make. That steals me hours every week.

jPodPosted by: Gustavo Felisberto in Book Reviews, Gentoo, tags: Book Reviews, Douglas CouplandThe jPod book by Douglas Coupland is probably one of the most hilarious things I’ve read in the last few years. It is a fairly accurate picture of Pop-Geek culture (minus the homicidal, drug dealer mom and the homicidal, white meat smuggler friend). If you have the chance get a copy and read it. You’ll love it. My copy is going to be dropped in some bookcrossing site somewhere in Coimbra… Search for it

New LifePosted by: Gustavo Felisberto in Arte, Gentoo, Geral, tags: family, happiness, life, sonA new life is in the process. The join of looking at a small paper with a tiny bean that is part of me is overwhelming. Raquel told me that even with this small size she could hear the tiny human being hearts beating fast. Next time I’ll go and no matter what I’ll get to listen to it to.  Ecografia 7 Semanas 42 ? 42 is not the answer. Life is the answer. Thunderbird was behaving strangely today not showing messages when I clicked them. I tried to close it and open it a couple of times but nothing happened. I selected the compress folder option and now my mail from 2003 till now is gone!!!!! Sad sad sad day. Really sad indeed.

An Engineer’s Guide to CatsPosted by: Gustavo Felisberto in Gentoo, Geral, tags: cats, geekThe guid to cats that we all were waiting for. For some days now Skype has released a new public release that has video support. Since day 0 the Gentoo users that were running the testing version could have an upgrade. A few more weeks and if no strange bugs pop up it will be marked as stable software. So if you are still running the old skype and want to use the new one:
All in all there's something to give,
All in all there's something to do,
All in all there's something to live,
With you ...

Gentoo on the Dell D630Posted by: Gustavo Felisberto in Ciência/Tecnologia, Gentoo, Gentoo-dev, tags: d630, dell, GentooThis is just a pointer to my guide about Gentoo on the Dell D630. I’ve been trying to stress test a RTSP Streaming server. My goal is to see how many clients a particular server can handle. Apple has a tool called StreamingLoadTool, but virtually no information on it, also it crashes alot with:
after running for some time. All other tools I saw where commercial windows based multi purpose test tools that would need a giant test farm.

Assertion `c->xlib.lock’ failedPosted by: Gustavo Felisberto in Ciência/Tecnologia, Gentoo, tags: javaWith XCB and java graphical applications on recent distributions one gets: java: xcb_xlib.c:82: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock’ failed. This is very well documented (just google a bit). So this serves mostly as a mental note for the way to fix it. $ sed -i ’s/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g’ /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.04/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so or the libawt.so of your JRE. Remember that many programs may come with they’re own JRE and not use the one provided by the system. A week ago I stared on my new work. I was at IPN and now I’m on the corporate world working at WIT-Software developing software for mobile systems as well as backend code for Mobile operators. As an added bonus last Week I received my last grade and now have my CS degree

AquariumPosted by: Gustavo Felisberto in Arte, Ciência/Tecnologia, Gentoo, tags: aquarium, loveSince I was a child I’ve always been interested in Aquariums, so this Christmas my fiancée offered me a 60 liter world. I’ve started it and this week I added some (21) fish. I’m very happy for finally having the chance to play with this. I’ll keep adding pictures here as time goes by. Again I must say THANK YOU Raquel. One day at a time you keep my world turning.

Master in Open Source Software?Posted by: Gustavo Felisberto in Ciência/Tecnologia, GentooThere are some rumors that the Portuguese ISCTE is going to start a 2 years master program in OSS software. I must say that I find this a very dumb idea. Software Engineering is an area in Computer Science, the same way Networks, Artificial Intelligence, Database, Operating Systems etc etc. OSS is a distribution model in CS. |
