This morning, when I sat down at my computer, I saw that SuperDuper! had a problem doing its daily backup. I tried to quit the application to no avail, and then I used ‘Force Quit’ on it, which made an error message pop up, with no way of making it go away. After another issue […]
5 Days of Wicket – Designing the backend is an article written by yours truly as part of a series of articles geared towards the better understanding of how to create a web application using Apache Wicket.

In that time, I’ve worked with several technologies, seen a couple of interesting projects and worked for different companies in different sectors, both as a consultant and as an employee. I thought I should share a couple […]
Good news, everyone! No, Futurama isn’t on the air, yet. But soon. Anyway, I’m still here, albeit a little busy. However, in one of those few late night things I do, I was able to finish up a little project. If you didn’t know, there’s a site that stores your icons and lets weblogs put […]

One of the things that I found really odd is that on of the terms on the EULA (End User License Agreement) states: 2. HOW WE MAY MODIFY THIS CONTRACT. We may change this contract at any […]
