For some time I’ve been looking for a way to auto generate UML diagrams inside JavaDoc files. The perfect solution would integrate into Maven 2, which is my build system of choice. A few days ago I stumbled across Apiviz, which turned out to be exactly what I’ve been looking for! It provides simple integration [...]

CakePHP1.2  has finally been marked as stable! I’ve been using this framework in a couple of projects now and I’m impressed by how fast it allows me to develop web applications. That being said, it’s often that way that if something makes development fast, it also makes execution slow. CakePHP comes with a rather serious [...]

The last days I’ve been testing out Hudson (in between lots of good Christmas food of course). Hudson is “an extensible continous integration engine”. That’s fancy-talk for what I like to call a build engine. It’s able to get updates from your SVN server and build the Maven project while keeping track of tasks, unit-tests [...]

Sun has released version 1 of their JavaFX today see relase announcment with out any form of Linux SDK, nor mentioning anything of when or if the Linux community can expect to see any support. I think this is a huge mistake in todays marked.

I dagens nettutgave av VG kan vi lese om en “livsfarlig” bru i Venezia der de har valgt form over funksjon. Dette er også veldig typisk i programvareutvikling der mange setter utseende høyere enn brukervennlighet.

As it turnes out you need VirtualBox non-free in order to get USB support. Bah.. That’s one wasted hour trying to activate USB support in the free edition you find in Ubuntu’s repositories.
Once I figured that out it turned out to be really easy. Just append this line to /etc/fstab
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=46,devmode=666 0 0

Finally!
Since the first time I heard about this revolutionizing new hard drive technology I’ve been longing for the day these would become accessible for normal people. It’s been a long wait, but today my OCZ Sata2 SSD disk finally arrived.
I’m normally a patient kind of guy, but when the lady standing before me in the [...]

I think Firefox 3 has a problem with IPv6, at least I have experienced some while developing PHP applications on localhost. At first I thought that I’d messed up my code some how, but Firefox turned out to be the culprit.
Anyhuu.. The problem has a simple fix: Type about:config in Firefox’s location field, search for [...]
