All of my recent updates have been on Facebook or
Twitter. I've only started to use
Twitter for real today. I don't have it linked to
Facebook and probably never will.
In the future the updates here will probably be limited to coding (e.g. t2t or splice)
or vacation pictures. Looking back at my earlier posts, it seems like I have already been
doing that.

They are all licensed under LGPL.

For my latest work project, I have been using
Spring. I really like working
with Spring. It is straightforward and non-invasive. I am using
serveral pieces including the WebMVC. My code has never been this clean.

Laurel's Dinner short story is available. I really
liked it!

t2t 6.0 has been released. It will natively read Excel
and OpenOffice files. It also includes several bug fixes; all users should upgrade.
|
|
BlueHost now hosts this site. They have a large number
of features.
|
|
I have replaced Toast with two freeware open-source
alternatives: Max for ripping and
Burn for burning.
|
|
I have been having problems with iTunes freezing between songs since I upgraded to 7.5. I
found the fix on
an apple discussion board. It works great now, back to normal.
I bought a new digital camera, a
Canon PowerShot SD1000. It is a
super-compact camera.

We just upgraded to Leopard. No problems with the upgrade.
Everything seems to be working ok, except for Toast and
OSXPlanet. I will be upgrading both of those applications
once they are Leopard ready.

We have switched ISPs; we now use Verizon. So far so good, nice stable DSL connection. Email addresses have
not changed.

HBO is making George R. R. Martin's A Song
of Ice and Fire books into a series!! Variety has an article
about it.
I've been searching for several flights over the past few weeks. I highly recommend Kayak; it is a great
meta-search engine. Great results and great site!!
splice version 1.8 has been released.

t2t version 5.2 has been released. I added --equals command line option; it ensures
that all of the rows have the same number of columns.
splice version 1.7 has been released. Another filler bug is fixed.
|
|
I now use Picasa to host some of my pictures, a nice site from
Google.
We saw Love recently in Vegas. It
is at The Mirage. Great show, awesome music.
|
|
I now use Flickr to host some of my pictures. It is very user friendly site.
I have been using Java 5 a little recently, and I am not convinced
Generics is a needed addition. It really complicates
things.

splice version 1.5 has been released. It finally solves the additional information
bug with CD labels. Also --slim command line option was added; it informs splice that all of the
CD labels will be for slim jewel cases.

I have been using Digester quite a bit at work. It
is a great library for easily parsing XML, but there is practically no documentation or it is wrong. Most online
examples are dated or just don't work.
I've been playing with Ajax
a little. I got a simple application to work. It is very cool.
|
|
splice version 1.4 has been released. It fixes issues with boolean
command line options. A man page and a makefile are now provided.
|
|
t2t version 5.0 has been released. XHTML support has been added. A man page
has been created and makefile for easy installation.
I decided to create a man page for t2t; it is more intuitive to do a
man t2t than t2t --help, but I don't know nroff. So I looked
for a html2man converter. Could not find one. I did find an
HTML2Pod Perl module and a
pod2man. So I have simple HTML
that is converted first into POD and then into nroff; it works better than I thought it would.
|
|
splice version 1.3.0 has been released. It fixes an issue with inner title printing. The
"title" command line option was also added.
|
|
t2t version 4.3.6 has been released, a very small bug fix. I have begun working on
t2t version 5.0; it will support XHTML.

Saw The Stones last week at PNC Park. Our
first Stones concert. The Stones are definitely a band that is best enjoyed live; they put
on a great show.
I am working a Java Mock Object library for
unit testing custom tags. At work I have custom tags that will be used across several projects,
and I am unable to test them without using them in a project. This is very different than
Tag Unit, which requires a container. I wanted to
be able to test my custom tags outside of a container.

t2t version 4.32 has been released.

I've been playing a lot of blackjack online recently, no not for money. Mostly I've been playing
at Yahoo! but I've also played at Stanford Wong's site
Blackjack Info.

We just got back from an incredible Alaskan cruise. Pictures
are available. Great glaciers, humpback whales (hard to see in the pics), and black bears.
