Random, useless stuff
Next week, I’ll be presenting at Øredev in Malmö. My session will be on the strengths and weaknesses of JAX-RS. So, if you happen to be in Malmö, feel free to come by and say hi. I’ll be sharing the presentation and the accompanying code here after the talk. I also understand there will be [...]
At one on my current work assignments, we use Nagios (or more specifically, the OP5 packaged Nagios) for all our infrastructure and application monitoring. We also use a fair amount on WebSphere Application Server instances. Thus, we needed to monitor WAS from Nagios, including some WAS internals like heap size and connection pool sizes. Looking [...]
Feeling it was that time of the year when you get the urge for a new site look. Of course, not that anyone actually visits sites anymore. But still. Seeing Jonas Bonér site, I wanted that theme so bad. Turns out it’s based on the default Jekyll theme and Jonas was happy to let me [...]
I finally found the time to publish my presentation from SDC2009. The topic is REST basics in general and JAX-RS in particular. As many of my presentations, the slides are not that very rich on words. I like having keywords on the slide which I can talk around, rather than the full manuscript. Thus, the [...]
This Tuesday sees the first Scandinavian Developers Conference here in Göteborg. For a newcomer conference, the speakers and subjects they’ve been able to attract seems quite impressive. I’ll be there talking on REST in general and JAX-RS in particular. It’s a new talk for me, so I’ve been busy preparing (surprised every time how long [...]
I just finished reading Henrik Knibergs “Scrum and XP from the Trenches” (Amazon). Of course, I guess everyone already know this but if you have anything remotely to do with Scrum, you should make sure you read this book as soon as possible. It’s shock full of great, practical tips on how you best work [...]
A few days back, we finally release the big 1.0 of Apache FtpServer. It’s been a long, sometimes slow, ride to get there, but we now have a pretty damn stable piece of software. So, if you happen to need an FTP server for your Java application, make sure to check it out. It supports [...]

On Linux/Unix, WebSphere Message Broker uses the syslog daemon for its error logging. While arguable the right thing to do, it’s a mess having application errors mixed up with kernel messages and what not. However, last week, two guys at work set up a clever solution to this problem, using the powerful syslog-ng. This is [...]
After a series of post, Mark Reinhold today announced that not only is Sun halting the failed JSR-277, but also that it will work on modularizing the Sun JDK based on OSGi. This, from my point of view, might be one of the biggest and best improvements to the JDK in a long time. Granted [...]
