GMaven & source encodings
maven,
software,
groovy,
development
I'm re-posting this because I made some more discoveries after I had initially posted it. I discovered apparently SourceEncoding is completely broken in GMaven. I tried on Linux where the platform default encoding is UTF-8 and on Windows XP where the platform default encoding is Windows-1252. In...

Firefox vs Chrome Performance: A language difference?
technology
Like many folks, I've been pretty blown away by the speed of Chrome (especially with respect to running JavaScript intensive sites). Currently, I use both Firefox and Chrome (depending on what I'm doing), but primarily Firefox as there are still some addons I can't live without. Though I am exci...

Maven 3 & profiles.xml
maven,
software,
development
There are some pretty cool things in Maven 3 (although mixins and global dependency exclusions have been tabled until 3.1). Matt Raible talks about some of them here. Significant points include dramatically increased performance (50% to 400% faster), unspecified plugin versions will pull the late...

Greasemonkey and local files
software,
troubleshooting,
firefox,
development,
userscripts
I'm a big fan of the Javadoc Search Frame userscript. Today's apperent outage of the Javadoc page has forced me to use a local copy of the documentation. I did some poking around on the Greasemonkey mailing list and found that if you still want to run this userscript (or any other userscript) on ...

My Review of Medal of Honor (2010)
gaming
I was on the fence about getting this game. If they didn't offer guns that were only available through pre-ordering, I may not have even gotten the game. But this coupled with the bonus sniper rifle for having BC2 VIP, and my lack of interest in the upcoming CoD game nudged me to the purchasing...

Bad Company 2 vs Modern Warfare 2
gaming
I'd played and loved Modern Warfare 2. I still believe it to be the best multilayer first person shooter I've ever played. That said, when MW2 released their so-called stimulus package at a rate of $15, I felt like that was kind of an insult to their playerbase, which helped them to record-breaki...

Cousins Cousins Cousins
random
I consistently forget the difference the various kinds of cousins you can have. Fortunately, I recently found a chart that explains it all (and not just cousins) on Wikipedia: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/Relatives_Chart.svg

BASH Colors
projects,
software,
development
I was messing with my .dir_colors file (about.com also has a good article on this) and wanted a chart to help me pick out my colors. So I modified the popular script that is floating around on the internet to display every possible combination in a graphical chart. The way it is read is foregroun...

Snapshots of Wave Robot API Now Available
projects,
software,
development,
wave
I've Mavenized the Wave Robot API and the Wave model portion of Wave Protocol, a dependency of Wave Robot API and deployed snapshots to my public repository. Currently, I've only deployed snapshots since the use of this artifact is completely untested. I'm working on creating a Maven archetype fo...
