blojsom gets a little help from FreeMaker

Chris made his FreeMarker-powered blojsom blog available today.

It's great when someone is able to customize your software to adapt it to their liking. It's also a first as until now, we've only had the JSP dispatcher and Velocity dispatcher. But, Chris wanted to use FreeMarker and so wrote himself a FreeMarker dispatcher. I hope that it was as easy as I made it out to sound on the homepage:

    "Have another display technology you'd like to use? Simply extend the GenericDispatcher interface and configure the mapping file so that blojsom knows how to map the template extension to the proper dispatcher. That's it!"

Note to self: I need to allow for sizing on the Emoticons plugin because my grin was much bigger than above when I got Chris' message this afternoon.

blojsom 1.8 to abandon the filesystem and use a database

Well, blojsom 1.7 development is nearly finished. Mark and I are testing and documenting all of our many changes to blojsom.

But, I got to thinking that the filesystem really is limited in how expressive we can be with blojsom and its components. So, for blojsom 1.8 I'm going to rearchitect the system to go against a database. I'm certainly open to ideas on the persistence engine since I had looked at Hibernate awhile back, then went to Castor JDO, and then this Prevalayer came out. So much to do, so little time.

YAFD!

Update:YAFD = Yeah April Fool's Day!

Bringing your Java Application to Mac OS X: Part Two

Javasoft has the 2nd part in "Bringing your Java Application to Mac OS X". Enjoy!

Update: Fixed the URL that was case sensitive. Damn ChronicleLite. I will need to comment on that to them.

Happy Tree Friends

Holy shit! Happy Tree Friends is arguably one of the funniest, but yet, most disturbing cartoons on the Internet.

Wow ... just wow! /images/emoticons/mozilla_laughing.gif

Someone's been pimping blojsom

I saw the blojsom 1.6 announcement over on Artima.com.

Cool. Less pimping for me to do /images/emoticons/mozilla_wink.gif
