EJB Design Guidelines... found a better EJBHomeFactory implementation... this one supports local interfaces which is what i deal with most of the time...

EJB best practices... good reference to common EJB questions...

i particularly like the EJBHomeFactory concept...

i guess thats why am happy being a software engineer!

Best practices in EJB exception handling... good article on ejb exception handling... am trying to google an article i saw a long ago discussing the evils of just doing a print stack trace when an exception is thrown... i had it as a bookmark on the old pheonix firebird browser and now i cant find it... bloggin a link is a far better than bookmarking it wit a browser... score 1 for link blogging ;)

was able to confirm the bad ram chip of my degatto thru a sofware called memtest86 i think? what a relief! borrowed a ram chip and sent the bad ram chip back to degatto vendor...

somethin tells me i should try installing the freebsd 5.2 again... maybe things would be better now that i have good working ram chip ;)

trying to practice defensive coding... been reading a lot about exception handling in java lately... the C/C++ exception handling that i was used to doesnt apply to java unfortunately...

btw, was able to get the viplugin to work via the update method... just installing the downloadable tarball just didnt work...

viPlugin now works on my eclipse m7... happy days are here again... my hands are aching for coding without vi... navigation thru arrow keys is downright awkward...

now if could get the quantumdb plugin to work... also need to find time to learn how to compile lomboz from source so i could tweak its default templates... lomboz inserting jonas xdoclet tags adds clutter to my already obfuscated java code ;)...

EJB Adventures -> EJB finder methods are case sensitive!

Lomboz M7 annoyance... using the add ejb to module modifies xdoclet.xml... previously lomboz for the 2.1.1 would add to ejbs.xml instead... also every add ejb to module modifies the build.properties file... tsk tsk tsk...

Pinoy techies conquer Europe... food for thought... the working habbit of a typical pinoy techie...

Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex... hilarious stuff... gotten from migs lj site... am glad am not superman... getting laid becomes insanely complicated if your the man of steel...

Firefox Extensions... i have to say this FIREFOX ROCKS!!! mouse gestures is friggin awesome! this is by far the best browser on the planet!

Fabrique another interesting product from jetbrains, makers of uber cool java ide called intellij idea... man this russians are quite something... the programmers in this group are top notch and very creative... the omea project headed by dmitry jemorov of the same company is also interesting as well...

for now am sticking with eclipse as far java ide's goes, its ehem *free* and quite usable with good help from the wide array of plugins available for it... long time java gurus however say intellij idea wins hands down as the best java ide out in the market today...

but currently am used to the eclipse way of doing things... funny since intellij idea (eap version) was the first java ide i tried for a while when i was learning java (aside from vi of course ;))...

"AT CNMI=1,2,0,1,0" init string... will also look into this... currently using new message indication "AT CNMI=1,2,0,0,0" as the default init string...

New 3-D effect could be a bright spot for Sun... this is fascinating stuff... i remember doing graphics during college years and how i would rock my brains to understand low level graphics... i still remember my blit blit functions... sigh, those were the days... assumptions that i would be doing graphic games when i graduate... john carmack is my idol way back then, and i guess even until now...

sigh, what am i doing? i still have 38.8 temp with a really bad cold to boot and here am i blogging and hacking happy code...

man, this is computer tech addiction... siguro, if i suddenly stop, am bound to experience withdrawal symptoms...

browsing down lone_geek's blog... and ahhh, there it is... trouble with rpms, etc etc...

me thinks, am sticking with freebsd!

further down on migs techscene... Lone Geek has some interesting points against the use of freebsd... my opinion however is that the guy has been a linux user and that probably is his comfort zone...

me, am no os zealot... but am tend to be biased against freebsd, maybe its my comfort zone ;)

to date, i still use freebsd for most things except on this degatto due to the wifi-card issue... i had come to admire the rock solid feel of the os as well as the easy to use ports collection... to date it runs all the java dev tools and apps *i* need to get the work done... production and qa servers are quite happy serving java apps and they are all based on freebsd...

i do think linux is a great os with pretty much support for the new hardware coming out today... but in general i hate that theres a a lot of incompatible distros and the way the whole file system is arranged... in freebsd you can pretty much expect things to be consistent (dirs and files)... consistency is great especially when it comes to overall management of a system...

FreeBSD, the power to serve!
