Acegi JdbcDaoImpl for logins

06-May-09

Acegi is a great security framework that I’m using at a project at work. If you checked out the tutorial on the site, they use a user.properties file to store the user names, passwords and the authorities of the users. This is o.k for an example but in real world applications you need a database, [...]

High performance large arrays in javascript

31-Mar-09

One of the primary goals of weblaster was to have a fast javascript based application to manage a media collection.
The amount of data we are talking about is an array with around 35.000 elements that contain something like this:
{
“id”:”10098″,
“track_name”:”Sarah Yellin’”,
“album_name”:”Live Away From The Sun”,

TOBO – The Jabber Todo bot

21-Feb-09

The GTD method application contains an interesting paradox:
Instead of GTD you spend much time learning GTD applications.
So the key feature of a GTD application must be: easy of use. Nothing complicated.
Add items, delete items, list items and search items. Anything other than this will prevent you from GTD.
Also you never know when something will pop [...]
