Gentoo update

Gentoo update

So, what if my Gentoo update took more than 1.5 day… I simply fell victim of the expat upgrade & I’m always the last to RTFM, but …

Am I crazy for loving this?

Here’s some stuff I’ve never used before:

Fred’s got a Yahoo Interview

… but of course, if you’re a javablogs or jroller subscriber you already know that, don’t you?
Well, Fred, I’m wishing you the best – i just can’t stop wondering: will these posts affect in any way the recruiting process? Anyone?

Tacos 4.1.0 released

Here’s the announcement:

Hi all,
It’s a pleasure for me to announce the release of Tacos 4.1.0
(http://tacos.sourceforge.net/tacos4.1/) – the first stable tacos
release supporting Tapestry 4.1.x and offering:
  • Dojo Widget – Generic component for (almost) all dojo widgets.

  • script.aculo.us – brand new components based on script.aculo.us

  • Comet component

  • New Annotations – allow you to inject ILinks and easily check if
    component parameters are bound.

  • New binding prefixes – including ‘template’ that makes string
    related ognl expressions easier, and ‘absoluteAsset’ which works like
    the asset binding but makes sure that the created url is absolute.

  • BeanForm – All-in-one, flexible bean editor BeanForm has become a
    major part of Tacos. This update offers complete compatibility with
    Tapestry 4.1.2.

  • Tapdoc – though not yet properly released from within tacos, it
    offers a maven plugin for component reference generation.

Furthermore:

  • The jars have already been deployed over at ibiblio.org – more
    installation instructions can be found at
    http://tacos.sourceforge.net/tacos4.1/tacos-core/quick-start/downloading.html

  • Beanform (http://beanform.sourceforge.net/) and Tapdoc
    (http://www.erinors.com/developer/project/tapdoc/) have merged
    with Tacos.

  • Huge thanks to our latest committer Igor Drobiazko whose excitement
    has shed new life to the project.

  • Extra special thanks to all the people that contributed code, esp.
    Daniel Gredler, Norbert Sandor, Patrick Moore, Ming Jiang and Craig Spry

Have fun with it!

Married (at last)

Well, Emilie and i just got married! And what a day it was…

So, we’ll be heading for our honeymoon in a few hours, and it’ll be a couple of weeks before the first pictures from the wedding and the party get published (we did have a lot of crazy Greek dances from myself, my brother and friends)!

Bro’s blogging

It’s a greek only blog – and he should have started it a long time ago… take a look at http://palta.yooblog.gr/

His writings are interesting, thoughtful and very emotional. Many of them are soccer related but in such a way that they reflect life in its entirety. I simply love reading them…

Go get’em bob!

Damn! Here’s something (html related) I only recently came across to…
Quoting from http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html :

The id attribute may be used to create an anchor at the start tag of any element (including the A element).

javablogs.com crashes – java.io.IOException: Cannot allocate memory
First time i see such errors in javablogs.com.

Could it be related to the recent update? Or was it just a face-lift?

Anyway, here’s the screenshot… take a look

Firefox3 to support cross-site sharing of js libraries?

Firefox3 to support cross-site sharing of js libraries?
Well, it’s been more than a year that i’ve written ‘Cross-site caching of javascript libraries‘ and it looks like this feature (with a similar implementation to the one described) will make it in FF3.

Here’s some talk on this, over at the mozilla.dev.platform list.
