Cocoon and moreThis is the personal weblog of Carsten Ziegeler.Goodbye Radio, Hello Osoco- December 24, 2003 As you propably already now, I "leave" radio and move over to my own domain: osoco.net. So, this is my last entry in this weblog; all new posts go to my new weblog. See you there! Ah, btw, osoco is the short form for "open source community" of course - or what did you guesshttp://www.osoco.net Moving- December 23, 2003 As Matthew already posted to the whole world (thanks :) ), I will be moving to another domain (my own one!) and Movable Type very soon. Currently I'm setting up everything and as soon as it works, I will inform you about the new location - but not any sooner as I don't want to show you those ugly "work in progress" pages.http://radio.weblogs.com/0107211/2003/12/23.html#a198 Logging at Apache- December 19, 2003 Apache has a new top level project: The Apache Logging Service that you can find at logging.apache.org soon. The Apache board has passed the proposal. The intend of the project is to provide cross-language logging services for purposes of application debugging and auditing. The different log4 will be moving to the new location soon. It will be interesting to see what this means to jakarta-commons-logging and the avalon logkit.http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107115526200001&r=1&w=2 P2P networks ruined my life- December 18, 2003 Yes, it's unbelievable but true! On the weekend a friend told me that he had found the book written by Matthew and myself in the edonkey p2p network! Now, if you think of how many people seem to use this stuff (of course, I don't) and if you think even if only a small percentage of these people has downloaded the book, then you might get the picture of how much money Matthew and I have lost by this! So, in fact if everyone of those would have gone to a good and old book shop and have bought the.http://radio.weblogs.com/0107211/2003/12/18.html#a196 Going Panther- December 14, 2003 Yesterday I was brave enough and finally installed Panther on my Powerbook. As I did't have many personal stuff on the powerbook, I did the "windows way": backup of some datafiles and to a clean install including formatting the hd. Now, this went very smooth and was actually very fast. After I had put all four CDs into the powerbook - one after the other of course - I had installed everything and Panther was running. Nice. But then I had to install all the updates that are already available....http://radio.weblogs.com/0107211/2003/12/14.html#a195 Los Angeles- December 6, 2003 After one week staying in Las Vegas we drove to L.A. which was quiet a boring trip; it took us approx. 4,5 hours and we stopped at Calico, a well-known Ghost Town. Now, to be honest, we were really disappointed by Calico as we thought a Ghost Town is a gethering of buildings that have been left years ago, the wind blows through the empty streets etc. (I hope you get the picture) But Calico is an old west town that looks like a usual theme park with shops, restaurants etc. in every building...http://radio.weblogs.com/0107211/2003/12/06.html#a194 Forget Eclipse 3.0M5- December 6, 2003 Immediately after I got back from the states I installed the latest and greatest version of Eclipse, 3.0M5. Then I tried to start my latest version of Dywel and it failed! Also, the classpath was correctly set, some classes were not found. Hmm, I thought and tried an easier project, Cocoon with the same result. Classpath correct, but a class not found exception. I immediately switched back to M4 and everything was fine again and I could contined serious work :) Now I hear from more and more...http://radio.weblogs.com/0107211/2003/12/06.html#a193 Death Valley- December 4, 2003 is really worth a visit! It is just a good two hour drive from Las Vegas (if you stick to the speed limit, of course), but be warned it's a real borring drive as it takes you a long time to drive through an annoying wide valley were really nothing is happening - we, europeans, are not used to such wide and open areas :) Anyways, after the drive you are presented by the breath taking appearance of Death Valley. Fortunately, Ovidiu gave us many good tips so we could really see a lot of...http://radio.weblogs.com/0107211/2003/12/04.html#a192 New Food- December 4, 2003 Yesterday, the remaining books of the Dune series arrived. Now I have the four books from Frank Herberts son, Brian, and Kevin Anderson on my table telling something about the time before the original Dune novel starts. Unfortunately I still haven't finished Cryptonomicon yet - but it's the best book I ever read; And I've only two hundred pages to go before I can start with the preludes to Dune.http://radio.weblogs.com/0107211/2003/12/04.html#a191 |
