A white screen is arguably one of the simplest and least arbitrary things a screen-driving information system can present, together with Black (to be released soon). Here are some implementations: https://white.paulfrischknecht.com/  (a PWA) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paulfrischknecht.white  (a native Android app, listed in the Google Play App Store) https://www.shadertoy.com/view/msfGDM  (a glsl shader, listed in Shadertoy) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QggJzZdIYPI  (a YouTube video, not mine)

I'm exercising automation of data extraction. Here I have a bunch of files in different .7z files whose length I want to extract. 3D Tetris (U) [!] 1048576 Galactic Pinball (JU) [!] 1048576 Golf (U) [!] 2097152 T&E Virtual Golf (J) [!] 2097152 T&E Virtual Golf (J) [b1] 2097152 Insane Mouse Mansion (J) [!] 1048576 Jack Bros (J) [!] 1048576 Jack Bros (U) [!] 1048576 Jack Bros (U) [b1] 1048576 Mario Clash (JU) [!] 1048576 Mario Clash (JU) [b1] 1048576 Mario's Tennis (JU) [!] 524288 Mario's Tennis (JU) [a1] 524288 Nester's Funky Bowling (U) 2097152 Nester's Funky Bowling (U) [a1] 2097152 Nester's Funky Bowling (U) [b1] 2097154 Nester's Funky Bowling (U) [b2] 2097124 Panic Bomber (J) [!] 524288 Panic Bomber (U) [!] 524288 Panic Bomber (U) [b1] 524288 Panic Bomber (U) [h1] 524288 Panic Bomber (U) [h2] 524288 Blox V1.0 by KR155E (PD) 1048576 Blox V1.1 by KR155E (PD) 1048576 Croach, The (PD) 65536 Etch-A-Sketch by Pat Daderko (PD) ...

When we click on the “homepage” link of the JSF entry in Maven Repository we are forwarded (from http://java.sun.com/javaee/javaserverfaces/ - I thought that company died long ago, but Oracle doesn’t bother fixing links) to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html which currently showcases a picutre of a young man in front of the computer and we are told he is probabaly working with JSF & PrimeFaces (PrimeFaces is “a popular JavaServer Faces (JSF) UI framework” that is also used in my project, I hope I’ll get to cover that too). Now, to me, he doesn’t look like he is happily working on something interesting but rather trying hard to finally get-that-bloody-thing to work (already in the exhaustion/resigning phase – “damn, why doesn’t it work!? :(“). This is comes close to how I feel about the series of tools I am writing about here (1). So let’s get started tinkering about this web framework. The website ( Get Started subpage) uses a two nice gray color sh...

In the project I have to work on mentioned in the last post, there are of course other technologies and tools used besides Hibernate that I have to learn (I do not come from a Java programming background so most of these are (though not conceptually) relatively new to me). One of them is the buildtool Maven. Let’s see what flaws we can find with Maven: It’s ironic how their philosophy is “don’t repeat yourself” yet they use xml for the configuration where up to half of the filesize comes from repeating words for the closing tags (yes I know that’s not what they mean ). They make users to define custom “properties” with custom tags. Within a pom.xml file you can write: <properties> <myfaces.version>2.1.12</myfaces.version> <mojarra.version>2.1.23</mojarra.version> <myweirdpropertythatiwillnotuse>42</myweirdpropertythatiwillnotuse> </properties> where myfaces.version etc. is the name of the property I want to define. ...
