Java Applets + Ubuntu 10.04 = Clusterfuck
After dicking around for 2 days, I'm fairly convinced that as things stand right now, trying to develop Java Applets on Ubuntu 10.04 is a complete and total clusterfuck (no, I'm not being needlessly crude, it's a real term - look it up).
Consider the following:
- Sun JDK not directly supported under …
File Uploader Applet Demo Live
After much inkering to get my software up and running (after leaving BraveNet), I have finally been able to get a demonstration on my file uploader applet working.
I'm still working on implementing Pack200 compression (which should significantly improve download speed), so at the moment it's a littl…
JVM Ruby vs. ECMA Ruby

This compounds the problems many places see - I have seen…
Throwing Down the Gauntlet
I'm throwing down the gauntlet to other language/app developers. For my place of work, I developed a Java Applet for uploading multiple files to a server. Sure, you can do this with other technologies to a certain degree (selecting multiple files at once in Web 2.0 isn't really possible, is it?) but…
Internet Explorer Irregularities
Much has been written about the oddities and irregularities (and standards non-compliance) of Microsoft® Internet Explorer®, but I felt I should publish this one not only for posterity, but also as a helpful hint to other programmers who might need the functionality.
First, some background. I had …
