enginerd v2.0

And finally, after tons and tons of procrastination, if tons could be a better measure of procrastination than silly units of time, "enginerd" has a new template.

For sometime now, I was planning on making a three-column layout, for the unbounding list of items I think should be placed in the 'enginerd sidebar.' The colour scheme, as you would have observed isn't entirely different from what we had in v0.9 and v1.0. The white background stays with the ususal orange thrown around. I have tried a different shade of blue for the links this time. I am not too sure, if it needs more whitespace, but we'll figure it out soon with the feedback ;)

Meanwhile, the F1 season is over. Ferrari and Schumacher didn't really have it their way, and Karthikeyan, who made all the hype being the first F1 driver from India, didn't really do anything out of the ordinary leaving the only chance of him racing next season with Ecclestone suddenly deciding that F1 could do with some 6, 7 or 8 new teams. Since that isn't remotely possible, his stint with Formula 1 isn't likely to continue.

Narain Karthikeyan's performance this season can only be summed up in one word- disastrous.

Lets hope he gets another chance.

It definitely needs lesser white space, at least 4 wide screens... :P

Gmail Chat Disabled

The fact that it happened does not surprise me but that it took so long for our network administrators to figure it out does. And if you are wondering how do you disable Gmail's chat features on your network, you only need locking DNS lookups to chatenabled.mail.google.com , by returning 127.0.0.1 .

Community effort to create a single persistence model for the Java community

A community effort led by Sun Microsystems is aiming to create a single 'Plain Old Java Object' persistence model to provide a single object/relational mapping facility for Java app developers in J2SE and J2EE. Paul Krill writes In a letter to the “Java Technology Community” on Friday, specification leads on Java Specification Request (JSR) 220, which is the proposal for Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, and JSR-243, for Java Data Objects, state that the two technologies feature divergent persistence models. “This divergence has caused confusion and debates among Java developers, and is not in the best of interest of the Java community,” said JSR-220 leader Linda DeMichiel who also is a Sun employee, and Craig Russell, a staff engineer at Sun who leads JSR-243. “In response to these requests [for an end to the unwanted divide], Sun Microsystems is leading a community effort to create a single POJO (Plain Old Java Object) persistence model for the Java community,” the letter said.
