No, but you know my name, Eric Garrido, but my domain, ericgar.com, is not implied in that knowledge. That a search engine both knows my name and knows my domain name empowers you to find my weblog.

Our local Albertson’s and Trader Joe’s go the other way and give discounts if you bring your own bags. And our local farmer’s market just started charging a whole quarter for plastic bags. We’re very much in support of these things, and bring in our own bags whenever we can.

Comment on In the future, we will not be iPhones by Benny

Benny — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 20:01:58 +0000

I wholeheartedly agree that they’re not mutually exclusive. But I think right now at this early stage o the iPhone, it’s critical to make sure user experience isn’t crappy.

A big part of the reason why Vista didn’t take off immediately (which I think killed it) was that hard driver writers wrote terrible drivers for Vista that crashed it all the time. Yes, the iPhone platform is different, but Apple probably wants to make sure its off to a good start. I wouldn’t be surprised if they opened it up later on.

There’s also the ad hoc distribution that has yet to be seen. If they do it right, there might be a way to allow users to install applications outside of the AppStore.

Lastly, our friends Aleks has argued that its because the iPhone hardware is bad. He says that the iPhone has no real memory management, and Apple needs to make sure the submitted app isn’t messing around with the memory of other apps.

PS: I think your timestamps are wrong. Looks like they’re PST.

Comment on I ordered a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster last night by todd.

todd. — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 03:19:23 +0000

Someone should start a blog where they go to different bars and order that drink and chronicle what happens. Surely something like 5-10% of the time you’d actually get a drink, right? And maybe another 10-15% of the time the bartender would ask how to make one, and you could just make up something on the spot, and maybe sow the seeds for a good future controversy.

Comment on PSA: https and gmail by Casey

Casey — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 21:16:29 +0000

While it’s probably cost issues, there are even more problems. First of all, distributing certificates to thousands of internet-facing servers still isn’t perfectly solved. Also, because SSL encrypts *everything*, you have to present the certificate before the browser sends the Host: field. This means you can’t use VHosts for SSL.

Comment on PSA: https and gmail by Eric

Eric — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 22:49:16 +0000

I don’t know why they do that. I surmise that it’s because encryption is expensive. For every packet sent back and forth, a non-trivial amount of computation has to take place in order to encrypt it. While your desktop probably has available cycles to do this, they have to do this for all users.

That gets expensive very quickly. There are a lot of variables, but performance impact can be an order of magnitude or more.

I have two things to say:
1. Congratulations for this kind of support.
2. A question: I´m using EasyEclipse Version: 1.2.2.2 and getting a repetitive problem. Sometimes in the Java Build Path the JBoss EJB3 Libraries show as JBoss EJB3 Libraries [error]. Expanding it I see that all JBoss jar files are missing, so none reference to any of their library content works like a simple import javax.ejb.Stateless; Do you have any clue how this maybe fixed?

All: Unfortunately, I have moved away from the position where I was actively using JBossAS et al. I won’t be able to support these instructions any further, as I’ve seen updates have been made to almost all of the core packages, producing behavior it would take me a long time to replicate.

I highly recommend trying to use Google to solve your problems, especially things like, “Where can I find…” or “I get this error…” That’s the job of a search engine.

I also can’t find how to install the server.

Thank you for help.

Thank you in advance.

Comment on Install imapproxy on Mac OS 10.4 by Eric

yeah, i probably wouldn’t put imapproxy in rc0.d, as network scripts have homes in rc3.d or rc2.d. But, if make complains for you, then not a bad idea to do it; perhaps I already had rc0.d created or I ignored the error.

Thanks for the great write up for OS X. Unfortunately I didn’t realize it couldn’t do SSL connections from the client until after I installed and tested it. I was hoping to use this with our iPhones to proxy us to the backend servers.

I’m not sure if there was a difference between rc2 and the final release but step #5 should read:
sudo mkdir /etc/init.d/ && sudo mkdir /etc/rc2.d && sudo mkdir /etc/rc0.d && sudo make install-init

I’m however not working with JBossAS and EJB 3.0, but with JBoss JBPM Graphical Process Designer. I have followed the instructions that I found on http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v3/gpd/installation.html.

When I select the feature to install, I got the following error: org.jbpm.gd.jpdl.feature (3.0.12) requires plug-in “org.apache.xerces”

Do you know how I can fix this?

Jayne — Your project needs to include the JBoss libraries so that you can use EJB. These libraries are the code that provides the EJB base on which to develop.

This may be a clearer description on exactly how to do this:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools/msg03827.html

You’ll need to include jboss-ejb3.jar and testng-4.5.2-jdk15.jar in this way.

jwagon — “ejb3-project” shouldn’t be a folder in your project. I made a project called “ejb3-project” and put all of my files in it.

Eric,

Thanks for the instructions - they are very useful to the Google wayfarer. I just wanted to point out to people that they should use the development version of the JBoss IDE, as you have mentioned above.

Also, the EMF location has probably changed since you wrote this piece. Look at http://www.eclipse.org/emf/updates/ for information on how to get EMF.
