Facebook doesn't allow Beans WTF.

Scratch that it works with Firefox for some reason.

Got Tomcat 6.0 working with issues that I had with jdk1.4.2 and then jdk 1.6 ... Tomcat 6 seemed to work better with jdk1.5 which is at update 15 now.

This weekends side dev work

Got my Dev machine up to speed --- dev machine using apache / tomcat 6 ... the production is iis/jrun --- getting the war file to work with both sometimes became a chore.
Cleaned up my browse page.
Added a user login, register page, and added a user table.

New Vista Box

I hate Vista. So I have a new Dev Box, and now I know that Vista sucks right now. I have an issue with DHCP and I just had to hard code the IP to get it to work. I'm serious that a normal user wouldn't be able to figure it out.

Anyway big bug.

In order to get this sucker up and running I'm trying to use Apache2.2/Tomcat6.

SDExpo West

I'm supposed to go to this conference but I don't know why I have no motivation to do it now. The only thing I'll probably see that I'm interested in is the google booth.

Maybe ... there are probably some development tools that I want to take a look and evaluate and maybe discounted books, etc. But I don't really like purchasing tech books nowadays when you can in most cases get what you need on the internet.

The same deal with magazine subscriptions what exactly is the point of wasting paper besides giving the advertiser a quantifiable amount of subscribers. And maybe making money off of the subscriptions.

I guess there are cases when programmers don't have a internet connection and a computer to look up these things. :P

Motivation

Trying to get motivation to code more can be daunting. You get distracted and you try to remove all the destractions but what I need more is a way to focus more. Start the code project and continue till its done.

I guess I should picture the end result maybe more.

Anyway I got quizzing done on a JRun server, but I need to deploy it. Since I have to use tomcat more. I'm not sure if this is going to work well. We'll see ... it's all dependent on setting up the JDBC. The Tomcat I use on my current server doesn't have a JDBC connection.

I went to the bookstore, and I perused all the books on the bookshelf from top to bottom.

All the things that a programmer needs to know up on the counters. The new technology etc etc. ... feed the programmers I suppose. Programmers have this issue that keeping in touch of technology, whether its on the job or on your spare time.

We need to keep our skills fine tuned, or its get dull really quickly. Technology moves to quick not to keep up.
