I didn’t talk to my girlfriend very much lately. I didn’t read many blogs. I didn’t watch any movies. I didn’t breathe much fresh air. I didn’t use my PC for anything more than listening to music or fetching mails. I didn’t sleep much more than four hours the last two weeks or so. I [...]

So, you get what that actually means? It seems now that they cannot protect their stuff as much as they wanted, they [...]

I am getting dumb of writing the same code over and over, so I am finally in the process of setting up a C++ framework with core functionality I use in almost every project: macros (e.g. assertions), helper functions (e.g. pattern matching), serialization, virtual file system, XML support,… Some of the stuff is extracted from [...]

Nathan Oliphant wrote this widget to display bookmarks in the sort order of the users choosing. Unfortunately, it had two minor bugs which 1. caused changes not to be [...]

Today, I wrote a simple MyBB plugin, Registration eMail Check (RMC). The plugin first verifies whether the email has a valid format, then compares the email host with a number of hosts which were explicitly disabled by the administrator (the plugin comes with a decent list of well-known one-time address providers), and finally tries to [...]

Ooops, I didn’t write much lately since there wasn’t much to write about. I had great holidays and a fantastic New Years Eve, and I met some nice people in the past few days. I hope you all had a great time, too. A happy new year to everyone!

I started several projects during the development time of DVW and eventually none of them came to an end (yet) in favor of DVW, so I thought I could share some of my findings. I wrote a little tutorial about how to electively serialize to and from XML or binary respectively. I would really appreciate [...]

Months ago, I started a little sparetime “Web 2.0″ project together with two coworkers. My main interest was to enhance my JEE knowledge and to get to know a new framework. I was unsure whether to go for Struts Shale or JBoss Seam and decided for the latter. Today, I’m confident I took the right [...]

I’m using Subversion and Trac for several projects and I always thought that I should write down my workflow to set it up. This time, I did, and I’m sharing it with you. It’s probably not the best way, but it works for me. I will not cover the prerequesites here, like installing Apache 2 [...]

When you’re applying an Adapter Pattern, you’re generally grappling with classes and method signatures. I just had to deal with packages and package visibility in Java where I found the Adapter Pattern to be an interesting solution.
I was accessing a class A in a package com.example from the outside (an RMI call). The method I [...]
