More referer log madness ... The Wonderful Wizard of OZ!

First there was the FBI homeland security watchlist madness. This morning I check my referer log to find out that Dorothy and her dog ratted my blog out to the wizard. You'll notice the following if you check the html referers at the bottom of the page:

You might've missed this from the film credits.

Who knew our plugin API was that powerful? /images/emoticons/mozilla_wink.gif

blojsom 1.9.1 - "release early, release often"

So, we're trying to get back to that mantra of "release early, release often" and so, we offer up an update to blojsom for y'all.

There are some interesting announcements that we'll be making in the next couple of days. I know that's not much of a teaser, but it'll have to do for now. /images/emoticons/mozilla_wink.gif

blojsom 1.9.1 available

General:
- Fixed regular expressions in blacklist.filters
- BlogCategory is now an abstract class
- Added persistence methods to the BlogCategory class. This is overridden in a concrete implementation like FileBackedBlogCategory of this class to persist the blog category
- Added public BlogCategory newBlogCategory() method to BlojsomFetcher interface
- Persistence methods (loadEntry, saveEntry, deleteEntry) have been renamed to load, save, and delete on their respective classes to reduce redundance

Plugin changes:
- Added new Date Format plugin to allow for configuration of blog date formatting
- Added a new base class org.ignition.blojsom.plugin.common.IPBanningPlugin which the Comments and Trackback plugin now subclass from. This base plugin provides the capability to check if an IP address is banned or not through its boolean isIPBanned(String ipAddress) method. Check the upgrading instructions for information on how to ban IP addresses
- Textile code removed and replaced with textile4j.jar
- The Textile plugin had a bug when processing qtag's. This was found during the textile4j breakout
- The prefix for the Comment and Trackback plugins is configurable via the plugin-comment-email-prefix and plugin-trackback-email-prefix parameters that can be added to /WEB-INF/blojsom.properties

The following bugs were fixed:
BUG 752254: No meta-data loaded when requesting "/" category

What Matrix persona are you? Take this quiz to find out.

OK. It's not Java-related, but we need a break from posts on a) JavaOne and JBoss two recaps, b) The Andy/Chiara show and c) James Gosling's blog.

Here's the quiz. But then, you already know what Matrix persona you are. /images/emoticons/mozilla_laughing.gif

SourceForge download statistics bug

It's a real downer that the download statistics portion of many projects on SourceForge is not accurate because of a bug in their software. My hope is that when it does get resolved that the statistics will have been correctly logged.

Needed: generic in-memory cache for java objects

My burning question for this evening: What is out there in terms of a lightwight, in-memory cache for java objects. Read on for why I'm asking the question.

Tonight I started work on a CachingFetcher for blojsom. Let me back up a second. In blojsom we've abstracted things so that blojsom could theoretically "fetch" entries from the filesystem, a database, whatever. It rocks. The StandardFetcher that ships with blojsom is nice. It does what its intended to do. It fetches entries. It doesn't necessarily need to be smarter, but damn, I want it to be faster. Hence, why not write an implementation (possibly a subclass or whatever) that caches the requests (i.e. entries) in-memory.

So, I'm googling for java cache APIs. Fsck if I'm running across this JCache JSR that I don't think has been released. Whatever. Maybe it has. If it has, point me at a reference implementation that isn't the JCache 0.1 or whatever on SourceForge. I also looked at the Jakarta Commons and there's a sandbox componet for Cache, but I didn't feel like doing any CVS pulling/building. I came across the Generic In-Memory Cache for Java Objects. Excellent. This thing is 10k and seems to be exactly what I need.

However, it doesn't seem to have been updated since November 2002, has no real license, etc... Hence, this is why I need to know what are the current APIs for this purpose (generic object caching), what other APIs folks have used and why, etc...

Oh, and thanks for the help /images/emoticons/mozilla_laughing.gif

Another test post exercising the Textile plugin

I just wanted to see that if I hit enter a couple of times, if it inserts the proper HTML break characters for me. There should be a break below my last line. And that will make me happy. And another break should appear. Ahhhh, the simplicity of it all.

Is Apple ripping you off on refurbished products? Yes, yes they are.

For some reason I clicked on the Special Deals link in the Apple Store. They've got the "Monster iSplitter for iPod" available for $12.95. Mind you, this is a refurbished product. OK. The magic number here is $12.95. I check the monstercable.com for the same product and whammo ... $9.95. How in the HELL are they charging $3 more for a product that is refurbished?!

The mind boggles.
