While reviewing an existing project at work, I notice it has many delete confirmation pages. In my opinion, delete confirmation PAGES should really just retire from the face of the earth. Seriously, why do we need to create a http request & html for the mere purpose of asking “Are you sure you wish to… Continue reading Use modal windows for delete confirmations please

Thank you! hi… my name is *removed for privacy*. are you the girl who ran beautiful php… Continue reading A sweet note from someone
Watched the spring framework 3.1 webinar today and it was pretty interesting. Anyway, at work we are trying to possibly load property values from a database to resolve some tension between the developers and system specialists. I played a little bit at home as how we would set this up. This is not a new… Continue reading Spring loading properties from database with a twist

I was looking for a complete example of how to dynamically generate the page numbers when you create the pdf using iText and I couldn’t find one. This is based on the example in the iText in Action book but I added my “refactoring” if you will. I hope this helps someone. If not, it… Continue reading itext page number (page x of y)
At work I had to create some test data for a junit test. The function I’m testing expects a super abstract class to be passed in and I need to test the same function for bunch of child classes. I wish I could just pass in the parent class but since it’s abstract I cannot… Continue reading Java instaniate an abstract class… sort of…
Not really a new trick but I had to look for the syntax today to use reflection to set a private property on an object to use it in a junit test.
Yesterday I attended Ted Neward‘s game design session at nofluff. It inspired me to begin to implement the game sequence in an ajax app. It will be a private app since I only plan to play it with some friends.
