Sometimes you are behind a http proxy, and the git:// protocol is not accessible.
For instance on erlang rebar, all developers prefer the git:// protocol when listing dependency. But how to fix it if you are behind a http proxy?

iPhone is the brand-new Apple product which has changed the way Apple thinks. Because of iPhone, Apple strip the word "Computers" from its brand name. And because of iPods and iPhone products, Lepoard developmenet slip a bit, blurring the focus on pure technology.
To be true, I do not beat on the iPhone success, but the product success is at least bright this year. And the iPod touch has also added value to the iPods product catalog. But I am an IT-man, damn you boy! So I want to buy it to play with it, to program with it!

The OLPC project, which uses also Squeak Smalltalk and its done by the core team fo Squeak, is not going very well.

I have read http://www.manageability.org/blog/stuff/chandler-failure and I think it is very danger way of exposing concepts.
In the article pointed out, the quite dead Chandler project is compared to the multi-billion Eclipse project. And then a too easy analysis is done against dynamic languages, where Java is the absolute winner.

This is the sad true: parsing is boring. And writing parser is even worst.
If you can choose a scripting language for parsing you can think to do it in perl.
For this way, take a big breath and go in the black sea of perl's funny regexp. They are funny only if you have that special love for the regular expressions.

Sometimes I need to build a small script to delete a huge set of tables of a schema.
In Oracle is easy to do it, using the meta tables "all_tables", "all_views", and "all_sequences":
select 'drop table ' || table_name || ' cascade constraints;'
from all_tables where owner='protoss' and table_name not like 'BIN%';
select 'drop view ' || view_name || ' ;'
from all_views where owner='zerg' ;
select 'drop sequence ' || sequence_name || ' ;'
from all_sequences where sequence_owner='spacemarine' ;The "BIN%" table are special temp tables of oracle.

Hi all, ObjectsRoot now has correct story ordering ontags view!
I am happy to announce I have just installed tinymce on my site.
TinyMCE is a very nice javascript editor, also used in Drupal. What makes tinymce very nice in my humble own opinion, is its easy installation. You do not need complex init procedure: you just tell tiny you want to edit well textareas, and it will do all for you. Because django (my web framework for the site) has a bit complex way for handling administration pages, this is good news for objectsroot.com.

I think ajax is a very new technology, but with too much hype on it. I think we’d try to do simple things with it, avoiding too much bloated interfaces.
I have found a good ibm article with shows “In-place editing” avery easy way to get a more responsible site. Finally the same article points to Prototype window, a very easy to use windowing system.
Happy hacking!
