Apparently I like fiddling with tools if they’re the right tools. I’m trying to get good syntax highlighting for Java and XML in DocBook running through Maven.
If I can get Doxia to do it, that’s great. Otherwise I’ll need to move to the DocBkx plugin, which is a lot more capable, but doesn’t integrate as [...]
My old college friend Ron Burk had an Ignite video go viral last year. This one probably won’t, but it’s still a good presentation. It’s called “Three Strange Definitions of Computer Programming”. He’s a good presenter, so you might find it interesting even if you’re not into programming.
His original Ignite presentation is “The Psychology of [...]
It read:
If anyone here truly feels fiat currency is worthless then feel free to give me all your money.
I’m fine with that. If anyone here truly feels that fiat currency is worthless, then feel free to give me all your money.
I’ve spent a good deal of the morning dealing with issues between Eclipse (my IDE), Subversive (the subversion integration for Eclipse), and M2Eclipse (the Maven integration for Eclipse). (Subversion is a version control system.)
Gaah….
I have a friend who believes that “Crystal Blue Persuasion” is the worst song in the world. I don’t agree. It’s just boring, sort of like anything by Air Supply or Bread. (If I never hear “Diary” again it’ll be too soon.)
Denise thinks that maybe “Escape” (the Piña Colada Song) is the worst song ever.
I [...]
There was this recipe recently on Smitten Kitchen for a cauliflower and caramelized onion tart, which I made last night. It was wonderful!
It’s actually a cross between a tart and a quiche, because it has a custard filling.
Very yummy. It made leftovers.
So I’m at home with some sort of sore throat and runny nose, and I wanted some good food to both fill me up and to ease my sinuses.
I made Kathryn’s multicultural stir-fry. This time it was British-American-Asian.
I started out British by chopping a turnip into 1cm cubes and sweating them in a small pat [...]
The snow from a week ago had just about cleared off. Now we’re getting very large clusters of flakes coming down heavy and falling quickly. The streets and grounds are getting that white sheen again.
I thought we were through with this…
We released version 0.1.6.1 a few days ago. This has very few changes from the 0.1.6 release, the main one being that we are signing the jars and putting them on the Maven Central repository at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/, in particular:
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/seaglasslookandfeel/seaglasslookandfeel/
Future releases will be released to Central, and snapshots will be released to

Since we still don’t have [...]
So they announced the “iPad” today. (Insert menstrual joke here.)
It’s 10″ with a 9.7″ diagonal 1024×768 pixel 4×3 aspect ratio screen. They say it’s 1/2″ thick and about 1-1/2 pounds.
The OS is basically a slight evolution of the iPhone/iPod Touch OS. The prices run from $500 to $700 for versions without 3G and $130 more [...]
