I just noticed that I’ve tipped one year’s worth of uptime on omicron.
Woo yeah!
With the release of Eclipse 3.4 “Ganymede” I’ve had to reinstall all of the plugins I use. So, I decided to share with the world the suite of plugins that I use. I use the Eclipse JEE bundle since this already includes much of what I want - if you use a different bundle YMMV.

I’ve been working on a project using Spring WS recently. During development I run/test webapps using the Maven Jetty plugin. All was well, everythings works as expected, and I was at a stage where I needed to deploy on a Tomcat 6 server for some larger scale testing. In the past I have had no [...]
Tagged Java, Programming, SysadminI just noticed that my server has been up for over 200 days. I’m pretty sure that’s the longest it’s ever been up continuously. Most of the reboots have been for upgrades (or a hosting move) but there have been some problems along the way.
The box is now handling around 10GB of traffic every month, [...]
Since I upgraded my living situation a few weeks ago (moved into a new house share with 2 friends) I’ve been without an internet connection. We ended up having to wait 2 weeks for BT to “install” our phone line (in quotes since it was physically already there), then around 10 days for the ISP [...]
Tagged Online & WWW, Rants, Real LifeI’m on my second ThinkPad now. Last year I replaced my failing T42 with a T60. Both had/have ThinkLights, but I’ve never seen the point in them before…
Right now though, sitting in the garden at night, I finally see the point (I can see my keyboard!!!). Mind you, it’s irrelevant how well lit my laptop [...]
After putting off upgrades on omicron for ages (I was busy), this week I finally found the time. So, I’m now running:
Apache 2.2.8
Tomcat 6.0.16
MySQL 5.0.54
Subversion 1.4.6
Woo yeah for them all running smoothly! I was especially happy that converting my Tomcat 5.5 configuration to 6.0 was easy.
As a bonus upgrade, I’ve switched the theme on my [...]
Over the last couple of week I’ve been doing some work with the MIDP low level UI API. I’ve used the API before, but not for anything that complex. This time however I am building a set of fairly complex rich UI screens, so it’s been a good opportunity to really get to grips with [...]

The Internet is 30 today. Exactly 30 years ago today on November 22, 1977 the first three networks were connected to become the Internet
Think how far we’ve come…
So, yesterday evening bytemark finally got around to upgrading the host machine for my VM server. The upgrade itself went smoothly, so I now have 300MB of memory and 20GB of disc space (at no extra cost). Woo for me
I did however have some problems getting the server to come back online again [...]
