Build a website using Google Sites
2008-02-29 18:42:00 It seems that Google will crush all those small firms developing web pages (static) with their new Product called Google Sites . sites.google.com/overview.html Obviously someone searching for web site design on google.com , you will get the Google's product right away. They've created an easy to use tool to create quite simple or what is called web 2.0 style web pages with prebuilt templates. Even embedding Google calendar is done for you behind the scenes. Another step to take over a small niche in web businesses.Read more... More About: Website , Special , Build

Java based CMS Top 5
2008-02-06 01:49:00 I was very curious if i could find a CMS system that I'd like to use for my own sites. Here is a Top 5 that i found from a rather impressive list (quite a few out there): 5. InfoGlue http://www.infoglue.org/Projects/InfoGlue /Screenshots/ - You probably would not be very impressed but it seems quite stable and has a nice feature set. 4. Contteligent http://www.contelligent.com/contell/cms/c 1web/contelligent/site/contelligent/why/i ndex.html - Very much up to date and seems to have a nice support , a focus is on supporting you and probably developing using their System. Not just a CMS but rather a platform. - Couldn't find demo on the site. 3. Nuxeo http://www.nuxeo.org/sections/about/ - Lots of features, seems quite updated and robust. Not quite sure if i liked the UI for the backend. 2. Magnolia http://www.magnolia.info/en/products/comm unity-edition.html - Very nice product, vibrant project , has commercial support. Lots of features and very nice editor. 1. My... More About: Java , Special
Microsoft to buy Yahoo ?
2008-02-01 15:19:00 A recent breaks news really shocked me. A 44 Billion bid to purchase a web giant in order to "compete more effectively" , do they value Yahoo only for ads and placing ads whilst searching? I wouldn't admit that Yahoo's search engine is great, i still use google, however it's set of web applications is amazing. answers.yahoo.com is such a great tool and not to mention the finance section of yahoo. Back in 1999 Yahoo had very nice finance applications, even a web game in real life of trading. If Yahoo will give in, Microsoft will most likely rebrand, as they have done for all the products they bought (and never even mention where they came from e.g. Excel) . You've probably heard a few months ago , Micro$oft did mention acquiring Yahoo however that did not go anywhere. Let's see happens. Hope to hear your comments.Read more... More About: Yahoo!
A correct way of breathing while playing tennis
2008-01-28 16:46:00 Ever wonder why those tennis players make awful sound while hitting immensely fast shots? Even men whose unchangeable face from time to time does change in order to make a sound. Why does it happen? Some players are quite loud, such as Maria Sharapova whose falceto (high voice) bothered other players or so they claim. In short, it is a way to release the anguish built in them. After all the tennis is a very stressful game where the outcome depends totally on you. How could you learn to do the same? It is actually good for you to release air and with it comes the sound on a heavy shot. Similar to a fitness work out, where upon lifting something heavy you would release the air from your lungs or if you are doing yoga/pilates , controlling the air flow is essential. Releasing your anguish or rather anger while you play is essential as it allows you to focus on the game rather then current result such as a loss. Coping with an immediate loss might prevent you from focusing on ... More About: Tennis , Rect
Where can you train your shots in tennis?
2008-01-24 23:30:00 If you live in a cold country such as Canada , you obviously don't have a lengthy summer to play tennis. A good way to work your handling of a tennis raquet is to play against the wall. Often you will find a flat wall somewhere outside. A great way to improve your handling is to stay close to to the wall, approximately a meter (few feet) and try to keep the ball in constant rotation with your raquet , you will feel a bit of preassure on your wrist but if follow this practice , your feel of a raquet would definitely improve. Here is the advice, if you can't find a tennis court just for yourself and want to practice before a game, find a squash room. Although it has wooden floor and the ball bounces slightly differently, you can still get a great work out. Also, the squash room is not very big in length so you will have to adjust your shots so that you can respond. You can definitely practice your back hand and forehand. Read more...

Sun to buy MySQL
2008-01-16 18:35:00 Sun Microsystems will purchase MySQL AB , the company that created the famous mySQL database. Personally it's a shock but a pleasant one. A year ago Sun has started to integrate PostgreSQL database into Solaris Operating system 10 and now will have an alternative offering its corporate customers to use MySQL database. I anticipate the release of JDBC connectors will be quicker then e.g. .NET ones :) This definitely will allow SUN to reach certain goals in offering an enterprise solutions, mind you they already own a StorageTek , have their own servers and own operating system creating a good valuable stack of products.Read more...

Where is the configuration file of NetBeans

Locate your installation of NB: <install path>etc Directory etc contains the conf file. It's a simple init kind of file so # acts as a comment. Read more... More About: File , Special , Configuration
Looking for dedicated hosting? It doesn't have to be over $100
2008-01-15 01:20:00 I've been recommended the 2 un-managed hosting providers that are very much affordable: http://www.rebelhosting.net/ It looks simple but once you click Order, it will offer you Amd Athlon with 1 Gig of ram for $39.99 http://ubhosting.com/index.php?page=dedic ated If you choose to register for 6 months, you'd save $60 as it is -$10 You're still getting your 1Gig of ram which is (at least to me) quite important.Read more...

Sun Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
2008-01-13 18:32:00 I was very curious to see what Sun was up to in relation to virtual desktops and they are up to a version 1.0 and a new Beta , curiously enough it is quite cheap if you decide to buy, $149USD "Sun Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Software allows organizations to deploy a secure, resilient, and available desktop environment because the desktop never leaves the datacenter. Users can access their centralized desktops from a wide range of supported client devices, including Windows PCs and Sun Ray virtual display clients. A variety of networks are supported, from LAN to WAN or the public Internet." To try it out , visit the link below: www.sun.com/software/vdi/get.jspRead more...
How to install ffmpeg on Linux using yum
2008-01-13 03:27:00 When using search command for yum: yum search ffmpeg you might get a few results however they are mainly codecs or players (not what you wanted). What happens is that repositories do not contain ffmpeg hence we need to add a new repository to search through, the command below will install and download the rpm that will add a repository for freshrps.net site rpm -ivh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fe dora/linux/4/freshrpms-release/freshrpms- release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm after this is done , you will find ffmpeg and can safely do this: yum install ffmpeg Have funRead more...

Break the myth of Php being faster then Java
2008-01-06 23:03:00 Microsoft gave a really bad name to JVM/Java through its implementation (microsoft jvm) that ran things slowly and often broke down causing the common users to assume that it was java that was slow, Java has evolved over the years and Sun engineers worked hard on improving its performance and memory usage.

What you need to run Display Tag with Struts 2
2007-12-12 21:14:00 If you are developing a Struts 2 web application, you'd probably need to have a datagrid ,a table that displays data without re-inventing the wheel. Struts does not have (at least not now) such component hence we might use a well known and proved tag called Display Tag (http://displaytag.sourceforge.net) A few steps that are not well discussed on faq or their documentation: 1. download the displaytag jar 2. add that jar to your classpath Now the above is seems good and dandy but you need 2 more libraries. 3. Download Apache Commons Beanutils (http://commons.apache.org/beanutils/) > you only need commons-beanutils.jar (only one) 4. Download Apache Commons Collections (http://commons.apache.org/collections/) Add these 2 libraries to your classpath and your setup is complete. Now displaytag was developed for JSP/JSTL web apps, not for struts 2, hence we need to explicitly copy the Struts 2 variable (e.g. List persons) to a request scope of a Servlet, it is like this: &l...
