Sun Forums Community Everywhere feature

As the Senior Engineer for Sun Forums, I have been trying to setup the forums environment to give out forums content like a message or a category of forums list or a forum list to sites other than our forums so that they can include it where they want.

We did some customizations of the Jive Software's default Community Everywhere feature according to our needs, but the requirements from our business stakeholders varied quite a bit, making that solution rather too cumbersome and hard to maintain and extend.

I have been playing with a solution based on IFrames and some filters on the forums end that give out data from forums and so far it seems to be working okay. Actually, this one is turning out to be much simpler and quite lightweight.

More on this once I deploy it on production.. (2009-06-11 19:33:31.0) Permalink

obesity in kids I just finished watching a program on childhood obesity on Food Network, and man I can't believe it. 13 year old kids weighing 200+ pounds..Its crazy. I have a kid myself, very active and always jumping and running. Still, it scares me to death how much its out of my control to keep her looking like this as she grows up. I really liked the Walk to school programs followed by some schools and others cutting down on sodas and other sugary items. I am a firm believer in the traditional diet and exercise stuff, but I think we gotta opt the new medical advances "lap-band surgery" in certain cases as well to get it in control. I dont think its the food industry to blame, as parents and responsible adults, we have to take the necessary steps to start reducing obesity as much as we can... (2007-03-31 19:07:04.0) Permalink

my new w2100z I got my new w2100z from my manager. I installed Solaris 10 build 73 on it. Man, it is smoking. Except for 2 binaries that I had to install separately, most applications worked just fine. Too bad, we are into the holidays. I can't wait to go into work everyday and play with my new toy :) (2004-12-21 19:03:54.0) Permalink Comments [1]
