In the process of testing my configuration, I came across openssl s_client. It's one of those things ... http://swamp.homelinux.net/blog/index.php/2008/05/15/openssl-s_client/ I'm feeling a little bummed this afternoon. I got the following email from the GSoC people: Dear Applicant, First of all, Google and the open source organizations taking part in Google Summer of Code would like to thank for applying to take part in the program this year. Unfortunately, your application was not ... http://swamp.homelinux.net/blog/index.php/2008/04/21/gsoc-application-rejected/ After upgrading Git to 1.5.4.2, I was having problems checking out projects from Apache's subversion repository. When I would try to do something like: git svn clone --stdlayout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mina/asyncweb Git would output: Initialized empty Git repository in .git/ Using higher level of URL: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mina/asyncweb => https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does ... http://swamp.homelinux.net/blog/index.php/2008/02/28/using-git-to-access-the-apache-subversion-repository/ When I work from our Orem Office, I'm surrounded by people who call themselves 'architects'. I've always hated this title in the software industry. It doesn't mean anything. If you take a room full of five software architects and ask them what it means to be a ... http://swamp.homelinux.net/blog/index.php/2008/02/21/who-needs-an-architect/ This past weekend I made a 0.1 release of ADBCJ, my asynchronous database driver framework.  I also wrote a brief tutorial on how to use ADBCJ.  This release is primarily for testing and feedback on the API.  The MINA based MySQL and Postgresql drivers are working well, although they only ... http://swamp.homelinux.net/blog/index.php/2008/02/04/adbcj-01-release/ A coworker of mine has been looking into the Git source code management system. He showed me how Git can integrate with Subversion. It looked pretty cool so I decided to give it a try and now I'm hooked.

I've only been working from this location for a few weeks. The other day I walked ... http://swamp.homelinux.net/blog/index.php/2008/01/26/to-learn-is-to-be-young/ As part of my master's thesis, I'm developing an asynchronous event-driven database driver API that I call ADBCJ. I currently have three implementations of the API. One implementation uses JDBC and achieves asynchronism using a thread pool. The other two implementations are custom drivers that are built ... http://swamp.homelinux.net/blog/index.php/2008/01/22/migrating-adbcj-to-google-code/ My Lab 5 is finally done. Apparently I'm the last one to be getting it passed off. I guess that's what happens when you have deadlines at work, a thesis proposal, a family... I really enjoyed Lab 5. It took far longer than it should have for me ... http://swamp.homelinux.net/blog/index.php/2007/12/13/lab-5/
