Note to Self on Being a Coder
There’s no point in hiding the fact that quite for a while I’ve been dealing with a few rather messy projects — and in doing so, together with others working on these, I have found come across all sorts of shenanigans and oddities (caused quite often by myself and not just the others) which, with […]
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 […]
Re-enforce Your Car Bumpers, California :)
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 […]

I wish my camera was better, as the photos below don’t do this event any favours (note to self: get rid of the bloody BlackBerry!) so you’ll have to […]
Single Girls Out There, You’ll Love This!

maven site Problem with Hash Symbol (#)
Not sure if it’s just me who’s been digging around this issue for a while, maybe it’s common knowledge to the maven community, but I found this very frustrated dealing with this and researching it on the net, so having finally found the solution to this I thought I’d post it here. If nothing else, […]
Cache Ahead using Apache Commons Pool
If you have done any code that needs some sort of pooling of resources (which is some sort of caching, let’s face it), you would have no doubt come across Apache Commons Pool. (In fact the DBCP pool is used as a standard in applications which require database connection pooling.) The framework offers most of […]
