Where is crontab located?

2011-12-10T22:09:00.001+02:00

User crontabs are usually in /var/spool/cron/

System jobs are usually in /etc/ under cron.d cron.hourly cron.daily cron.weekly depending on the schedule.

CSS position:relative + position:absolute

2011-11-09T17:19:00.000+02:00

If we set relative positioning on div-1, any elements within div-1 will be positioned relative to div-1. Then if we set absolute positioning on div-1a, we can move it to the top right of div-1:

#div-1 {

position:relative;

}

#div-1a {

position:absolute;

top:0;

right:0;

width:200px;

}

Cannot load 32-bit SWT libraries on 64-bit JVM

2011-11-08T12:52:00.001+02:00

This usually is happened when launching a 32-bit SWT application on MacOS. The solution lives on the SWT official FAQs

You need to be sure that you are forcing your launch to use a 32-bit VM. Apple ships most of their VMs with 32 and 64-bit binaries. To force the VM to run in 32-bit mode, use the -d32 option as VM argument in your launch configuration. Note that as of Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6) the default VM is 64-bit.

Many users have alrealdy appreciated the Wordpress Help Sheet Wallpaper, so we hope that the Drupal theme developers will enjoy this one, too.

Its all about HTML5 - CANVAS and CSS

2010-03-27T17:15:00.006+02:00

Raindrop Logo in CSS

Playing around with -moz-radial-gradient this past while, and seeing the amazing job done on the CSS Opera logo by David Desandro, I thought I’d have a go at recreating one of the logos I illustrated within the past year using pure CSS.

Opera logo in CSS

Aside from another shameless plea for attention, this demonstration gives me a chance to look at some CSS3 properties across browsers.

Dynamic 3D lighting effects in Canvas

I made a little experiment with normal mapping and phong shading in javascript which turned out to work quite well. I think with a little bit of tweaking it could be used in a real time game. Just move your mouse over the images bellow to see it in action. You'll need a modern browser supporting the canvas tag for this to work. Google Chrome seems to be the fastest.

Bye Bye Flash: Network Graph is now Canvas

When I initially sat down to write the Network Graph two years ago, I chose Adobe Flash for two primary reasons: 1) I was already familiar with Flash, having worked with it professionally, and 2) plausible alternatives such as Canvas and SVG were poorly supported across browsers, buggy, and slow.

Times have changed, however, and the HTML5 Canvas draft specification is now almost fully implemented on the latest versions of Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. Opera supports Canvas but not the text API. Canvas is missing entirely from Internet Explorer, but the word on the street is that IE9 will finally offer support. In the meantime, the open source community has created excanvas, a way to get Canvas support on current versions of IE.

Instead of using a cracked unstable and unsupported copy of this software i have a challenge for you.

As a member of PosterGenius dev team i will provide 3 PosterGenius personal licenses to 3 guys who will have the best argument.

Just answer to this simple question:

"Why do you need/want a free license of PosterGenius?"

The best answers will win a free official license of PosterGenius.

PosterGenius, finalist for the eclipse community awards 2010

2010-03-06T16:04:00.010+02:00

PosterGenius has been selected as one of the three finalists for the Best RCP Application for the 2010 Eclipse Community Awards.

Eclipse Awards Finalists 2010

Regardless of whether we will win the contest or not we already feel winners. It's a great recognition for 3 years of really hard work for one of the best team i have work with ever.

Please let me introduce this team:

Pavlos Moustakidis
The man with the vision to simplify poster creation process
Stavros Kounis
This is me.
Sakis Kotisis
A kick ass java programmer that join us just after the first prototype of PosterGenius. Maybe the most talented programmer i have ever meet.
Georgos Tsopouridis
A non-programmer that can build eclipse rcps and plugins better and faster than everyone else. Is the never-tired part of our team.
Stefanos Manolakis
Our rookie that easily adapt it's skills from one technology to another. Is the man that do all the dirty jobs and clean up everything.

And last but not least:

Evangelos Karageorgos
Our designer, marketing leader, QA leader and typography guru. We hate him. Is our nightmare. He believes that anything designed in Photoshop can be implemented in GUI.

Finally i want to give some credits to:

Eclipse Platform
It was our choice from the beginning. Thanks to this great technology we have reach our goals. Is the platform we can rely on.
Eclipse Community
Several issues in the platform have been resolved upon our requests (in bugzilla).
Nebula Team
Nebula Gallery is heavily used in our product.

Event log stopped working - Error 1747

2010-03-05T10:24:00.004+02:00

After a restart it was unable for my lap to establish wireless or wired networks connections.

Googling around the only solution looks to be O/S re-installation ! :-(

Thanks to Al Oliveira's post the solution was very simple:

c:>netsh winsock reset

Now everything works like a harm and i have not lost a whole day.
