I finally got tired of waiting for the prices to drop further so I bought me a little from-me-to-me present, the Intel X25-M SSD. Ubuntu 9.04 already boots pretty fast, but with this drive it’s amazing! As you can read from the chart belove it takes around 10 seconds to get to the login screen. [...]
Jeg hadde heller ikke bekymret meg stort om penger hvis alle i landet med en tv var tvunget til å betale meg nesten tre tusen kroner i året!

I was astonished to find out that Mercurial was unable to represent empty folders. The most obvious workaround is to create an empty file in each of those folders. But hey, you don’t want to do that by hand do you? Well luckily we’re all using a Linux based OS with an extremely powerful command [...]

I’m so sick and tired of Subversion! A couple of days ago our repository server was down which caused the f… stupid svn client to hang. Not even pressing Ctrl-C would stop it. In the end I had to kill it the hard way. This obviously messed up the svn locks. You should think that [...]
I’ve been trying out the beta build of NetBeans version 6.7 and it’s looking very good. The PHP support is becoming very good.
Even Grails support is coming along with support for Grails 1.1. Rumors has it that even debugging is supported now! Nice work!
Bah, can’t believe that it took me that long to figure it out. Apparently you need to have the Grails application context up and running in order to use convertes (as XML / JSON) in your unit tests. After moving my test from the unit test folder over into the integration test folder it worked [...]
I’ve just spent about a day trying different embeddable Java LDAP servers. To save you from all the trouble I came across I’m going to share some of my experiences.
Basically you have three choices when it comes to embeddable Java LDAP servers (at least open source). First of you have Sun’s OpenDS, they have a [...]
It’s a shame that all the OCZ disks are haunted by what I like to call the “OCZ SSD syndrome” which is a ridiculous low number of write operations per second. The first disk to be plagued by this problem was the OCZ Core disk. Today I read a review of their Apex model and [...]
You better be kidding me!!

Want to unit test a private method in Java?
You could obviously change your methods access modifier from private. By making it public you’re breaking encapsulation and by making it protected you’re making your API less intuitive. Don’t do that.
Another way to go about this is to create a new class that’s extending the one with [...]
