Pluto's Secret File
I'm talking about Pluto the Apache portlet container not Pluto the dog or Pluto the planet. Sorry if you thought we found a file on Pluto!
I'm specifically talking about "Pluto 1.0.1rc2.":http://portals.apache.org/pluto The instructions tell you everything about getting it up and running and seeing the wonderful test portlet. RC2 is much better than RC1. You can at least deploy a portlet to the container now with a lot less effort. What the docs fail to tell you is that there is a magical file you must update or you'll get a NullPointerException.
Are you ready...drum roll please, and the file is *"webapps/pluto/WEB-INF/data/portletcontexts.txt"*. Read all about it in this "thread.":http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=pluto-user@portals.apache.org&msgNo=1122
Just so you don't misunderstand my comments about Pluto, I'd like to officially thank all the contributors. I know they are heads down right now working on 2.0 and have little time to look back. Pluto is a great open source contribution.
I decided to blog about this since I keep seeing posts on the pluto-user alias about it.

Snow?
I should have known. I was really on top of the "get ready for summer" thing this year. This is probably the earliest I've had the sprinkler system turned on and the fountain up and running.
I woke up this morning to snow in Greeley, Colorado. There isn't much. But come on! It's April 28th. Apparantly, it's going to be "yucky":http://www.weather.com/weather/local/USCO0170?from=search_city for the next couple of days. I guess it doesn't really matter. I'm in the middle of a code-athon anyway. That's when you write code from whenever you can drag yourself out of bed until about 3 AM in the morning. Before the weather turned, I would actually hear birds singing *BEFORE* I went to bed. Now that's bad!
