Geee… it has been long time since I last time updated wordpress. I was using very, very, very old fork, which seemingly had been (luckily for me) integrated into main branch. That’s totally cool, since now I’m most likely able to keep up with the updates more easily. Anyway, this is first test post with…

Read moreReinstalling EEEPC 900
For third time, I did full reinstall of EEEPC 900. And this time I decided to try . After very long installation, and post cleanup system seems to work rather fine. Post cleanup naturally involved throwing away gnome stuff and firefox, after installing some better browser like opera. And for text editor, of course, lightweight…
Read moreWeb is not open
History of web is rather curious. Especially considering the fact that all the time some zealot group is wanting to make web ”open”.

Little java jumped around, and growed eventually so big that it hide even the sun. And so little java became older and fatter. I tried to exercise, but big boys were teasing it and pushing it in the playground, but java continued furiously ahead, believing to that it will be The One… so story goes,…
Read moreSQL vs. O-O
Interesting question to ask, at this time and date, is if using SQL DBs make much sense if anything more than very simple object hierarchies are stored into DB. Plain fact is that there is huge mismatch in models used in relational DB and O-O (like java). Mapping Object structures into DB lead very easily…
Read moreJDK 7 almost there, but still far not reaching the goal
It’s nice that JDK 7 includes new ”try (…) { … }” construct, but *WHY*, oh, *WHY*, they managed to fail on implementing it in usable manner. To put it shortly, problem is described here: Detect exception in AutoCloseable close() Thus they implemented logic which allows doing automatic close(), but API doesn’t this logic anyway…
