Random notes on life, coding and politics
Well, it turns out much of my problem was not getting some of the scripting done right in the “turing test” spam filter.
Well, it turns out much of my problem was not getting some of the scripting done right in the “turing test” spam filter. (Repeating the funny numbers.) I haven’t had a bad spam post in about a week, so all is better. I’d still love to get my hands on these people, but as I think I reported earlier, it looks like they are in India.
Okay, I’m really pissed. Upgrade that earlier fantasy of me in a locked room with one of these bastards and a baseball bat. Now I’m actually visualizing splintered shards of skull-bone wedging into soft nerve tissue. I’m pissed.

Of course, a calm person would realize that any protective measure is just going to challenge them to create more clever ways to get past. Yes, you guessed it: I’m still cleaning up $#(%*&$%%$#W(*&! graffiti.
If you want to post a comment you’d better get out your glasses. The passcode has been updated to 9 digits AND it is now the exact same color as the grid of lines. You brain and eyeballs will be more challenged, but I’m going to hope that I have better luck keeping the crap off my website.
Notes about installing the EclipseColorer profiling plugin in Eclipse and getting it to work with JBoss 4.
I have wanted to learn how to profile JBoss with Eclipse for a while now, but wasn’t able to find any good documentation on the web. I finally got the time to figure out all the pieces to the process, so here are my notes.
These notes will refer to the Eclipse profiler plugin known as “EclipseColorer” which is maintained at http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipsecolorer/ . There are some other profiling modules in existence, but this one seems to be the most active and complete.
The first piece that was missing was any definitive evidence that it ran with a modern version of JBoss. The most recent documentation stated it had been confirmed to work with “jboss-3.0.6_tomcat-4.1.18”. So let me just state for the record: I have EclipseColorer version 0.5.31 (dated May 24, 2004) running with JBoss 4.0.0RC1 under Windows and Linux.

I’ve eyed the new Microsoft Office 2004 for (Mac) OS X, and upon careful reflection, I know I should not buy it.

This has nothing to do with my current version of Office for OS X. Actually, that product works and works quite well. I have no complaints and it is an excellent piece of software. So why must I not upgrade? Because of all the other major software upgrades that have bitten me.

For my most recent ramblings (which have to do with seeing the documentary “Super Size Me”) go to my political blog.
As has been the case for the past several months, I’m afraid my own personal web site has taken a back seat to the Stonewall Young Dems site that I’ve been working on for so long. Specifically, whenever I’m short for time (always) I try and make sure I have a recent update on my political blog.
Another reason for not writing for the past week (in either place) is that I was blessed to have my mom come and visit for four days. Between that and trying to squeeze in as much work as possible (including long hours over this weekend) my web site maintenance was put off.
But don’t despair! This next week should be much better. Anyway, for my most recent ramblings (which have to do with seeing the documentary “Super Size Me”) go to my political blog.
