Moving to YouTrack from Nozbe
I’m a big fan of productivity and GTD tools. After posting my previous article someone on DZone has mentioned Nozbe, an on-line time- and project-management application. That sounded interesting as I’ve switched a number of approaches already, trying to track all my various online and offline activities. My last attempts were “Remember The Milk” and [...]
Backup techniques. Saving my life.
There’s one thing I’m usually a bit paranoid .. or obsessive about. It is a backup. Whatever I do and whenever I work there’s alaways this little thought running on the back of mind: “Is there a backup?

Uploading files – multipart HTTP POST and Apache HttpClient
I had to implement a files transferring mechanism where one machine was sending files to another using “multipart/form-data” POST request.

Each FileItem is [...]

Browser keyworded searches
There’s one thing I’m (probably) using no less than a search in a browser and that is keyworded search. It surprised me one day that even some geeks are not familiar with it so here it goes … The idea is simple – launch your favorite search using a keyword. For example, to translate a [...]

Java Hosting – VPS vs Google App Engine
For quite some time I’ve started to think (again) about my very own Java hosting. There are some ideas running in my head that I’m really eager to implement (Groovy brought me back to dynamic languages again after I left Perl behind many years ago) but first thing first – I’ve started to think where [...]
