I wrote a new wiki because I saw some gripes in the forums. wiki.liferay.com/index.php/Getting_Started_with_Liferay I think though, that more people want a guide on how to just start setting up...

I needed to upload some docs to our Document Library today, so I decided to give WebDAV a try instead of uploading each document one by one. I heard that our WebDAV implementation was buggy, so I...

So, day 2 of the ol' AJAX Experience. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend many sessions today, due to having to reschedule doctors appointments, navigate the trickeries of booking hotels (which...

Well, that's better. I've now replaced the picture. It seemed appropriate: I took a vacation day during my last week with my old employer in order to take my daughter to the Adventure Aquarium here...

Richard Sezov | Oct 24, 2007 9:27 PM

Wow, horror of horrors, I got my blog page up! I'm a fairly new Liferay employee, and it looks like the first thing I need to do is replace my image. Currently, it's the mug shot my old employer...

One of the most annoying things of late has been the slow "glacial" pace of the W3C, which is the standards body for HTML/CSS. It's been bandied about by most professional web devs in the...

It's weird. I just had another one of those nights. I couldn't help myself. I just had to stay up late and keep coding. An idea here. A message post there. Ba DING. Ok. Gotta go code it. I just...

I got through gate security just fine. Next time I know that flying without ID is called flying "selectee". I can simply go to the agent and the ticket counter and tell them I am flying selectee...

When it comes to being wired, the US is in the stone ages. No joke. I've been reading this series of articles on CNN the past few weeks: Eye on South Korea. It's a series that highlights the...

What is Liferay? Liferay is the reason I'm here in Dalian. What is Dalian? It's the city that has welcomed us to the Middle Kingdom, but it's also a place with interesting geography. This second...

Brett Swaim | Oct 18, 2007 5:29 PM

Today is the day I will try to fly home with no ID. I will be handing my ID to my co-worker and he will walk through security with it. I will keep you updated as time goes on with the status of my...

Traveling a lot lately, I've had to take some measures to get some American TV. So I set up a SlingBox with my TiVo HD Series 3 back home. I would have tried to set up a MythTV box with the...

I was looking for a while for something small, fast, and with some decent space. Finally found this: 160GB, 2 MB buffer, 5400 RPM, USB2.0, and it is powered via the same USB cable. NICE! 7.2 x...

Pagination sweeping the nation. Well, Liferay version 4.3.3 has come out with 2 new "features" (they're more improvements), but I was really happy with how they came out. The first one is that...

Here I am in Dalian, China, an area which I hardly know. I want to be open and excited about new experiences in a city not as documented as Beijing on the internet, but I can’t help but feeling...

Dave Truong | Sep 26, 2007 9:39 AM

A recent blog made a comparison between Lotus 123 and Microsoft Excel. I found it interesting because our CSA Brian Chan often uses this example when describing Liferay's company strategy. And...

I'm currently at the Web2ForDev conference in Rome, Italy, sponsored by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and many other organizations, including the International Fund for Agriculture...

Dave Truong | Sep 24, 2007 7:15 PM

I've noticed in alot of our projects, we've been ripping alot of the "features" from Liferay and it got me thinking... Maybe we built Liferay backwards and judging by the new features we've been...
