Stupid mistake - fix in 9 hours time

August 27th, 2004

I made a stupid mistake while backing up my files on the old server and uploading them to the new one. That’s the problem when you have 2 similar SFTP windows (1 for uploading, 1 for downloading) and taking part in multiple chat sessions. You tend to not notice that you’re uploading to the server you’re supposed to be downloading from.

So this is the default WordPress template you’re seeing right now. I remember making another backup copy at work so in 9 hours time, fingers crossed, things will be back to normal.

JMF applet without JMF installed?

August 25th, 2004

A long shot, but do any of you Java programmers think an applet that uses JMF can be deployed and run on a client that doesn’t have JMF installed?

I think the chances would be higher if instead of an applet, a Java Web Start application was used instead. Bundling the JMF libraries could work, but there hasn’t been any report of success as far as I can find. (It is possible with a full-blown Java application though.)

Any leads at all would be good. In the meantime I will be trying this out myself.

I have been looking around for VPS hosting and reading customer reviews at WebHostingTalk.com. VPSColo, Dinix, Linode and TecTonic seem to be the better ones in terms of reliability, support, etc. (6)
