Abstractions always leak

Published by under Development,Java,Personal,Web

A quote of a quote in a InfoQ article on the release of GWT 1.5:
Key point: GWT gives you a lot of leverage, but it isn’t intended to be a “walled garden” in any way. Abstractions always leak, so it’s better to embrace that fact. We intentionally make it easy for you to punch through [...]

Synced again

Published by under Web

Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 3 I have been missing the good old Google browser sync extenstion for Firefox. Google decided to discontinue development of it, so there will never be a version that supports F3.
Enter Mozilla Weave. It basically does the same as Google Browser Sync, but is especially useful in F3 because [...]

The backups you never make

Published by under OS tricks,Web

So my harddrive for my home-server crashed. Seems like it short-circuited or something. Any tips for restoring would be appreciated. I had devised some sort og backup mechanism, that obviously didn’t work. Lost about a years worth of posts.

WordPress 2.0, not code friendly

Published by under Personal,Web

So it’s been a couple of days since I upgraded to WordPress 2.0. Nothing really big, a bit slicker admin interface. WYSIWG editor and integrated spam plugin. I tried posting some code today though, and it all went bananas. Even the “edit HTML source” didn’t help since it removes < and > signs in between. [...]

Webstats

Published by under Web

I’ve been using awstats for a while and I was satsisfied with it. One of the biggest problems is really that it shows all traffic. I’m not really interested in seeing all the traffic generated by all the bots. Enter Google Analytics. It takes some time to get data in there I guess, but I [...]
