Ping or die

So, we've got this computer that we use as a router... and since it probably eats electricity like crazy, compared to an ordinary router, every night when everyone goes off-line somebody has to turn it off. And since programmers are lazy, we've been kicking around the idea of making a program that turns the damn thing off by itself. But since programmers are lazy, I only did it today, after a year of excuse finding (at which I am highly proficient). Result: here's a little Perl script to run commands...

Germany boasts two nominations for foreign Oscars

The complexity of international co-productions means that Germany has two different nominations in the best foreign film slot at the Oscars. I'm only half surprised that the same company is behind both.Constantin Film are a remarkable company that made such an impact with the incredible "Der Untergang/Downfall" last year. This year, they will be saving...

Using Dojo to implement the 12 standard screen patterns

I really enjoyed reading Theresa Neil's article just recently on the 12 standard screen layout types. She gave a lot of examples, but what I found lacking was some nice templates that could be used if you wanted to jump right in and implement one or two of the patterns. I've been meaning to write a post about Dojo's Layout containers for a while now,...

Upcoming talks

So, it is a new year which brings new conferences with it. Yesterday I sent out three proposals to three different conferences, and just one day after, one of them answered! Yay!The conference in question is Web Tech Exchange 2009 in London, May 14-15, and my talk is on the second day, entitled "Leveraging dojo.data to build scalable enterprise applications". It does sound very interesting, doesn't it? :) Now all I have to do is write the actual talk as well.But first of all I will do a free Dojo...

What makes Dojo diferent?

Dojo (and also Ext, IIRC) have a couple of semi-unique features, being proper data abstractions in the client layer and extendable, hierarchical widgets systems.I know Dojo best, so I'll use that as an example;Data abstraction means a separate API layer between widgets (or other classes) and the actual data. All dojo.data datastores (as they are called)...

A possible solution for siteful user authentication in friend connect

I just posted this to the gfc mailing list, but since it relates to my earlier post on google friend connect authentication, I'll recap here;At the moment it's not possible to use a makreRequest call back to your server with the id and general data for the current vieweing gfc user, through Google's servers using SIGNED authentication. What that would mean is that googles servers guarantees that the data is correct and stamps it in a way, since they recently authenticated the user themselves.Google...
