Trackbacks spam finally hit me

Yep. So it finally happened. After getting rid of the comment spam with captcha, they just now started hitting my trackbacks. Assholes. It’s been turned off until I can get a decent bayes/spamassassin integration.

Struts 2.0 dropped

The Struts 2.0 development has been closed down. Struts Shale will be a new codebase for web development. No surprise that Struts would move to closer JSF integration, but dropping the entire codebase is a bit surprising. I guess Shale will be a fresh start, probably in some ways resembling the old Struts but building on experiences and improving. I think they have done a great job with Struts already (it’s been a long time since it’s conception, and it has of course suffered from some of the “old” ideas incorporated from the start), and will be looking forward to a new excellent product from Apache.

Update: Check comments for some clarifying info from Don Brown
