bedeviled mojo slop

I can't say it enough, but Rock & Roll Confidential and their daily douchebag photos keep me in the laugh and away from brick walls near train tracks

Changes in build 809 from 807:
- New CVS integration
- Code completion. Smart type completion lists all derived classes after 'new' (for abstract classes and interfaces only)

Changes in build 698 from 696

- GLUE 4.0 integration has been removed
- OS X-related bugfixes

I also got an interesting post from Chris over at sixlegs.com that he had created a FreeMarker dispatcher and modified some of the default templates to conform to their syntax. Now that's pretty slick! It looks like we will have to start a third party add-ons page.

Hi David,

Thought I'd give you some positive feedback about blojsom.
It's great!

I'm writing a plugin for my 'semantic blogging' project [1]

...

Cheers

Steve

And another blojsom blog went online which makes us smile .

I won't go over all the details in the changelog, but suffice it to say that we're trying to stay current and innovative. Added support for trackbacks and the emoticons plugin adds a little "spice" to your blog entries The BlojsomPlugin interface has been improved to allow for more customization.

blojsom 1.7 (Codename: Absolut) is already underway. On our list: calendar component, email to author plugin (to be used for comments/trackbacks), and other enhancements.

You'll notice a trackback link shows up on the entry listing page which will take you to the page that lists the trackbacks for that entry. It also gives the trackback URL that you'll need to use if you want to trackback to that entry. As the Movable Type Trackback specification dictates, "url" is the only required parameter and that's the same with the blojsom implementation of trackbacks.

Enjoy!

Oh, and blojsom 1.6 will be available shortly. I really just need to finish up documentation, but any code changes are finished.

"After the blojsom guys did it, I took a look at their code (struct) and now SnipSnap supports posting via MetaWeblog API (tested with NetNewsWire)."

"Just a quick ping to say "great work!" on blojsom. I downloaded it and had it running (under Jetty/JBoss) in a matter of minutes. And I'm really impressed with how simple it is to use and configure. Working off the file system is extremely straight-forward."

Update: And so, trackback support has been committed to CVS. Yet, it's off to bed again and I'll update the site at some point to enable trackback support.

i have a jdbc-driver jar-file that is used to connect to a database. the file is not into the classpath, i load(new Instance()) the main class of the driver with the classLoader from the jar-file. the driver use resourceBundle-files for the strings. but he cannot find the .properties files where the strings are saved:

Take that ...

• Support for comments
• XML-RPC support for the MetaWeblog API

• blojsom takes a different architectural approach in that it uses the filesystem as its content database. This was part of the original zen and philosophy of blosxom on which blojsom is based.
• A blog entry from Russell where he says, "Anyone who's seen the MiniBlog code knows that it's a mess - a zillion MySQL queries, no connection pooling etc. This actually, hasn't been a problem. Until now."
• A recent entry from JavaBlogs, Who ate the threads? where I picked up on two different quotes ... "I tried the kill -QUIT trick on FreeRoller this afternoon after it locked up. Looking at the stack traces for Tomcat's 75 threads, I found that most were either waiting for database connections or involved reading cache entries from the disk." ... more entry ... "Those changes kept FreeRoller up for a much longer period of time, but did not fix the problem."
• There would not be enough hours in the day to justify why I chose Hibernate over Castor JDO or why I didn't just use Prevalayer

You'll also notice that the comments form requires you to enter an author name and a comment.

Back to my iPod and back to your regularly scheduled blogging.

Sadly, Mark was the one who got the name for the Clogging client, "Plunger".

Needless to say, I was IMing Mark (because of web connectivity issues), "MUST POINT HER AT UPDATED DOCS!". For whatever reason, earlier in that week I had thought to myself, "I know how to post entries, add and remove categories, etc... but that might not be plainly obvious to the end user." And, I had actually updated the documentation on the blojsom site to reflect that. So, two comments later and a personal e-mail to blogfish later that evening, I felt much better.

No response to my e-mail or Mark's comments, so I was a little uneasy that we had dropped the ball on this one. I check blogfish today and what do I see?

By the way, the makers of blojsom were kind enough to answer the questions I posted, and I was successful in making that first blojsom post (thanks, Mark and David!)

• Updated documentation on the website: I now live by the principle that what is plainly obvious to the developer will not be as obvious to the end user. Most notably, there was some confusion as to how to create, edit, and change things like categories and entries.
• Flavor-based default category mapping: Typically, blogs aggregate blog entries on your "index" page or if you request the default or "/" category. In blojsom, we don't depart from this notion, but instead allow you to configure the directories that will be aggregated per flavor. So, for example, I can aggregate "/blojsom" and "/java" for my RSS flavor, while leaving the flood gates open for all the other flavors. All of this described in more detail in the customization documentation.
• blojsom plugin API: Man, this was a LOT of fun to put together and really offers you some flexibility in customizing your blog, making things easier when editing entries ... The possibilities are endless. If you want to explore the plugin documentation, well, there it is. blojsom also supports flavor-based plugin chains so that you can choose to have different plugins executed for different flavors. Again, the idea is flexibility. And we released 4 plugins with blojsom for you to look at and experiment with. They are, hyperlink URL, macro expansion, simple search, and "more ...".
• XML-RPC support: Mark did a great job putting this together so that you can now use an XML-RPC tool to manage your blog. blojsom supports a subset of the Blogger API, but the important bits are there like some basic authentication, creating and editing of posts. Check it out, it works.

Enjoy!

Too bad they didn't spell it right even if they got the URL correct.
