Via de website appletips.nl werd ik gewezen op de mogelijkheid om een Macbok Pro te voorzien van een SSD harde schijf. Ik lees verhalen over een vertienvoudiging van de snelheid.

Howto: Build TIBCO BusinessWorks applications with Hudson and Ant
July 27, 2012 by joshuamoesa
At my assignment, we use Apache Ant to deploy our TIBCO BusinessWorks applications.
We use the popular Hudson Continuous Integration Server to call our custom Ant build script.
This screenshot shows how the form is configured. The user and build (release) type are required by the Ant build script.
Following screenshot shows how to call the script and how to use the form parameters.
Edit 2013-04-15:
On request, hereby a small snippet which shows how to use Buildear.exe within your ANT build.xml:
<target name="buildear">
<exec executable="buildear.exe" dir="${tra.path}" resolveexecutable="true">
<arg line="-x"/>
<arg value="-v"/>
<arg line="-ear /Deployment/application.archive"/>
<arg line="-o ${build.dir}\application.ear"/>
<arg line="-p ${export.dir}\project"/>
</exec>
</target>

The Ant scripts main tasks are checking out code from Subversion and calling BuildEar.exe to build the TIBCO BW application EARS. Some time later, I will blog the contents of the script.

The code doesn't tell the whole story
July 26, 2012 by joshuamoesa
A must-see for developers who need to think about Software Architecture
Source: http://skillsmatter.com/podcast/open-source-dot-net/code-whole-story
We all know that writing good code is important and refactoring forces us to think about making methods smaller, more reusable and self-documenting. Some people say that comments are bad and that self-commenting code is what we should strive for.
Despite what you’ll hear though, the code isn’t the documentation. The code tells *a* story, but it doesn't tell the whole story. Join Simon Brown to find out what’s missing and how to create lightweight documentation for your software projects.

Toolbox utility: Authoxy
July 15, 2012 by joshuamoesa
"If your Internet connection requires you to use a proxy which needs a username and password, Authoxy may be the solution to a seamless Internet experience. Authoxy runs locally as a proxy server to intercept HTTP and HTTPS requests, forwarding them on to your regular proxy with authentication details you define in a System Preference Pane. Such a process is required to use many web services (MacHelp, QuickTime, iTunes) behind a proxy requiring authentication."
