go to http://www.foxytunes.com/firefox/download/
move your mouse to the get foxytunes icon. It will show you a toolip which is actually an image. It is a very very cool way to showing what the use should do. Some of you might want to put the same thing on your websites.

I was browsing through the projects on dev.java.net and accidently fell on a java guidelines projects. As you might think, it is not a coding guideline, it is a programming guideline book. For example, what is the best way of catching nested SQLException, best way to using logger in your program and things like that. Following is the link for the pdf version. It a must have pdf. There should be something for everyone in the pdf

I just compiled bash3.2 on my solaris box with gcc. This is the first time that I was able to build any open source code with such a ease. Generally there are several dependencies or you need to tweak the Makefile, but this one all I had to do was ./configure and make
Wonder if other opensource products could be built with such a ease.

I never knew one could have multiple home pages in firefox. All you have to do is to seperate the pages by "|" (pipe). Simply say <homePage1>| <homepage2>|....|<homepageN>
Pretty useful when you want to open some websites daily.

Just now read this Link : http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2068351,00.asp
The problem is HW requirement. Current US Business PC's do not have such capacity and overhauling the pcs means an additional and un-necessary expenditure.
Are you an executive and do not wish to change your system to run vista. Contact me. I will give you free help in migrating to Solaris and also help you with mundane questions that you might have :P

I attended talk by Gavin King. It was a very good interactive session. He discussed problems with existing enterprise web application design frameworks. Aim of Seam is to reduce the code to be written for an application for taking care of some trivial stuffs. Just go through the demo and you will love it. Very good for Rapid Application Development
As per http://www.onjava.com
The JBoss Seam framework is designed to take care of the plumbing between existing frameworks including EJB 3.0, JSF, and BPM. The Seam stateful component model makes it a breeze to develop sophisticated stateful web applications.

following link covers pretty much that was discussed in the talk. http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2006/03/15/jboss-seam.html

When working on a project, at time you will find yourself shifting between several directories like build directory, directory where your changes are there and so on. Instead of using cd to change between directories, there is a faster way around. Just make small functions in your bashrc or cshrc or zshrc files and write the complete command in it. You can name the functions to suite you. like cb for cd to build, cs to move to source directory etc.
<snip>
cb ()
{
cd /export/home/atishay/freshbringover/src
}
</snip>
