Eclipse is a pretty flexible application development tool, I’ve been using it off an on with some degree of satisfaction. Previously its handled upgrades reasonably well. I don’t use the tool often enough to really pay attention to when an upgrade occurs. But for a considerable amount of time I’ve noticed that the application hasn’t undergone an upgrade that it initiated. So I finally decided to google the problem and found a post on the subject (a year ago!).
So I don’t know why I haven’t bothered to look into this more, but I use VNC occasionally and noticed (a long time ago) that the x session that’s started through it wasn’t the full blown gnome desktop. While a bummer, it wasn’t that big of a deal. The fix was a simple one. TightVNC gets its profile settings from a .vnc folder in which contains a ‘xstartup’ bash script that runs when the server is started to load user settings, etc. The line I needed to change was:
x-window-manager &
to instead:
gnome-session &
A quick restart of the vnc server and back to the nice gnome environment. I don’t know why I didn’t bother sorting that out before…..
Another interesting item. This is where I came across the Sack of AJAX.
I really got to find some time to play around with some implementations of AJAX. The fellow below has an alternate engine than the SAJAX version. He also has a WordPress plug-in that allows for inline editing of posts. Cool!
Following up on the AJAX notion I’m learning a little more about…adaptive path » ajax: a new approach to web applications
Several little bits that came from a surfing domino effect that occurred this morning for me.
All of these are in relation to this series of comments. The end result is of particular curiousity for a little project I’ve been toying with relative to a web site that’s horribly laid out, but yet has valueable information.

Interesting point….
I’ve heard of this book before, never thought to check into it more. But it seems like it might be worth flipping through.

This guy has some interesting bits of information to share, several provocative sites as well that seem worth mentioning. lesscode.org for one, Django for another.
