geekologue hql hibernate | Dev | Thursday September 02, 2010 | By Manos

Hibernate Criteria supports relation but not collection based conditions so we had to use HQL for this. 1 2 < class name = " Asset " table = " ASSETS " > 3 < id name = ...

Here's a sample setup that includes caching. Assumes that http://roller.tld points to an Apache (httpd) virtual host and http://dynamic.roller.tld:8080 points to roller (i.e. tomcat). Your mileage may vary. <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName...

We all know where that word comes from, right? And about the effect a full moon has on tides and tempers. They say cops don't really look forward to bright lunar-lit nights, because the general wave of criminal activity seems to peak and go crazy around then....

priya tuli's randombloggz tech-no! | Tuesday April 20, 2010 | By priya

I finally got that new phone. It was quite a production, I can tell you. Almost as bad as I had expected. To start with, there was the superior attitude and open incredulity of the young sales staffers to contend with. I asked for their simplest model, no...

Another Earth Day approaches, as volcanoes erupt and species are hunted to extinction, and we blithely continue to uphold our sacred creed of conspicuous consumption. I'm not going to take off on the evils of plastic or malls or consumerism today, nor rant...

priya tuli's randombloggz tech-no! | Sunday January 10, 2010 | By priya

Okay, it's official. My 5-year-old Nokia, the one that went out of production 2 weeks after I bought it, which makes it extinct as a T-Rex, is approaching brain-dead status. (That was a sentence with three commas, in case you hadn't noticed.) It ran out of...

Does this happen to you, too? You receive an email, answer it in your head as you're reading it, then move on to the next thing on your to-do list and end up not replying? Then you wonder why no response to your response. So you check your outbox to see when...

priya tuli's randombloggz General | Monday January 04, 2010 | By priya

The trouble with 'evolving' and 'personal growth' stuff is that sometimes it feels like you're taking one step forward and 10 steps back. I like to believe I'm a better person than I was, say a year or five ago. And then I regress, and end up feeling like a...

I found a bunch of old letters today, in an old shoebox. They were from 15 and twenty years ago, a fraught period in my timeline, and reading through them reminded me of many forgotten events, places and faces. Nostalgia-tripping, bigtime. The strange thing is...

Forwards generally piss me off, particularly the ones that say your eyes will fall out of their sockets, your computer will self destruct, your fridge will be seized with violent epileptic fits and your ancestors will all rot in hell if you don’t send it on...

I never understood why the old barter system died out. Long before there was money, there were goods that one person wanted and another person had. A simplified demand-supply situation. How badly I wanted what you had, and how badly you wanted what I had, was...
