Eclipse Ganymede is the new Eclipse distribution which is supposed to facilitate the dependency-hell problem many eclipse users face. Don’t get me wrong here, it’s fine release with numerous improvements, but they’ve totally failed with integrating a Subversion client like Subclipse or Subversive.
To solve this problem, simply add the following update site for the Subclipse [...]

A guy nicknamed “s2″ benchmarked mod_rails against Mongrel. It’s not really scientific, but shows that at least for small sites, mod_rails definitely is a good and easier to setup alternative. I’m planning to do my own benchmarking soon on my shiny, new SUN Ultra 24 Workstation that comes with great Ruby & Rails support out [...]

Due to increasing hosting costs, I’m looking for a few sponsors willing to place a text link onto this blog. Your text link will appear on the sidebar of every post above Google’s Ads, so it really is the best spot to place an advertisement. Yet another Tech Blog is a PR4 site and has [...]

The model of open-source software really seems to catch up. German developer InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH, decided to release its powerful virtualization software as open source. Virtual Box is a worthy contender to VMWare Workstation. It offers the same features, more or less, although they’re implementation might be a bit buggy at the moment, like the [...]

I downloaded Minq Software’s great DbVisualizer to do some stuff with a MySQL database. I configured the MySQL database driver properly, but DbVisualizer wouldn’t connect to the database with the following error: “Unknown initial character set”. Taking a look at MySQL’s configuration file (located at MySQL/bin/my.cnf), showed that the “character-set-server” property was using latin1 as [...]

It kinda reminds me of Monopoly and some other board games. You can get the whole, step-by-step guide on how to start your own company as PDF here. Every step [...]

This is just so true: “Foamy the Squirrel” just wrecked his Windows installation. Now he’s calling tech support just to find out it was outsourced to India and they can’t help him no matter how hard they try.
