I posted before an article about how to use Oracle’s (well, Sun’s, since it was started really before the Oracle acquisition) HTML/JMX agent to monitor your apps via JMX here. For those of you who went ahead and decided to use that interface, you probably noticed a small (but rather annoying bug) in that component […]

Shuttle Endeavor Californian Flyby — 21/Sep/2012
By sheer act of random I was one of the lucky ones to actually see Endeavor today flying over Mountain View. And I’ve realised once again in attempting to take photos of it that my BlackBerry is pretty rubbish at taking photos 🙂 As such I will try to provide 2 versions for each of […]
Out and About Randomly in Los Gatos
Didn’t get any fish (yup, plenty in the lake), but love the 2 little islands: Â
Big Sur, California, 8-9/Sep/2012
Continuing the series of random travels through USA this weekend with Monterey Bay and Big Sur and the coast of Northern California: For those who have seen the movie “Forrest Gump“, you will be pleased to know that on the backend of that, “Bubba Gump Shrimp Co” was created — for real: Yup, I did […]
Labor Day 2012 : Eureka, College Cove & Crater Lake
Labor Day 2012, and the National Lampoon holiday to Portland, Oregon via Eureka started on the Friday before 🙂 Plan was very simple: drive to Eureka really early Friday, spend night there, drive next day to Portland and party it out there and gun it back to the Valley on Monday. Simple, right? Well… except […]
Application Monitoring and Management using Sun’s JMX/HTML Interface
This is something I wanted to write about a while back – while there are articles on the net about using JMX in a Java application to keep an eye on how it ticks, or manage its running cycle, I think there is still a large number of users out there who are somewhat reluctant […]

As of yesterday, I have now a (temporary) Californian driving license — need to still go through the actual driving test it seems (though the irony is that I will drive my car to the testing centre — on my British license! — then take the test, and even if I fail it — can’t […]
WP-Syntax Gotcha for Dealing with Less Than and Greater Than Signs
I’ve been digging for a while now into how to fix this annoying issue that I’m having with WP-Syntax plugin when writing code which contains less than (<) or greater than (>) — which, let’s face it, if you have an if / while / for in the code is bound to happen! The trouble […]
Exhibition artisticlab.org in Bucharest
On Tuesday, 22nd of May 2012, artisticlab had an exhibition in Bucharest. Unfortunately, being in California and all that, I wasn’t there for the live event, but I am lucky enough to be the receiver of some of the photos taken at launch. As to be expected, this was very well received by the public, […]
Spelling Lesson a la California :-)
Time to review my English writing skills it seems — either that or do some research on this new type of berry out there, probably only specific to Northern California I guess : STAWBERRY!!! (Related by any chance to STRAWBERRY I wonder, or just a simple coincidence? 😀 hmmmmm)
