		<title>Flickr API gotcha &#8211; Changing User Permissions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the desktop version of Flickr API, you cannot remove or change a permission granted to a user. This is a poor choice by Flickr. If a user grants me READ permission at first, and then wants additional functionality that will require WRITE permissions, there is no way for my program to handle this situation.

		<title>Nested collections of composite value objects in Hibernate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It doesn&#8217;t appear that you can do it. You can only embed a collection of value objects one layer deep. Nesting deeper will throw a ConcurrentModificationException. Either move one of your nested tables up to a full Entity (and entity relationship) or denormalize one of your nested tables. A Speed vs Space trade off for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Problem with Manning Hibernate example about annotated collections of embeddable elements</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are following the example in the book on page 259, and using Spring 2.5.6 and Hibernate 3.3.0.ga, you may get an error like: nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name &#8216;txSessionFactory&#8217; defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/mymodule-dao.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not determine type for: java.util.Set, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Developing using 3rd Party REST Servers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have found it  imperative to create a suite of integration/functional tests for each 3rd party REST site you use in your app. (Facebook, Flickr, Bebo, etc) These should ideally represent the set of API functions that your app is using for each API. You should create test users and data for the sites. Then, [...]]]></description>

		<title>When IntelliJ goes bad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, my IntelliJ 8.01 install stopped recognizing annotations w/ syntax highlighting. Then, it wouldn&#8217;t commit to subversion unless you removed the &#8216;optimize imports&#8217; feature. Then, the debugger stopped working for incoming web requests, but it worked fine for debugging unit tests. I&#8217;m on Mac OS 10.5.x . I reinstalled the IntelliJ application package, but that [...]]]></description>

		<title>iphone mail &#8211; Fail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wrote my longest ever email on the iphone mail program last night. It went into power save mode a couple times while composing it, and then I sent it. The message is gone. Not in Inbox, Drafts or Sent items. No error message either. Awesome. That sucked, Apple! Rule Number Fucking 1: Don&#8217;t lose the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jmeter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to load test only survey software for a client. Ran into some bugs w/ Jmeter Proxy feature, but once I got it going&#8230;well, I love this tool! It&#8217;s been around long enough that most features and statistics I need have already been implemented. One note of caution, It fails playback w/ SocketConnection exceptions [...]]]></description>

		<title>Selenium Grid on EC2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I configured the demo for Selenium Grid on EC2. It ran fine as a grid on my local box, but had some issues running over EC2. Mainly the browsers were just hanging instead of executing their scripts. I got quick feedback from Philippe Hanrigou, who is managing the grid project. Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t need to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amazon EC2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Got going w/ Amazon EC2 instances last week. ElasticFox certainly made for a nice gui admin tool. Few bugs, but overall good. The only thing that kills me is Amazon&#8217;s decision to not offer a 64bit small instance (or a medium  32 bit instance w/ 4GB of ram.). I know they are doing it to [...]]]></description>
