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 and I'm good to go. As an aside, since the TSA takes you aside and searches your carryons and such they take you right to the front. On a busy day, that has to be faster than actually flying...

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 cutting edge stuff going on in a country that only 3 or 4 decades ago was still considered a 3rd world nation. Only 10 years ago was the Asian Financial Crisis (some refer to this as the "IMF...

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 tier city is a peninsula boasting clean water and blue skies. Mounds of green hills scatter the city, a remarkable addition to the scenery you'd enjoy out of our twelfth floor...

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 flight plans, and in the end if I succeed or not.

"What? Liferay Portal source build in about 2 1/2 minutes, you say? How?"Well, first of all, I'm on Ubuntu Linux which is more efficient than Windoze in file I/O and management. So the packing and unpacking of JAR files is much faster. But on top of that, I swapped out Jikes for the ECJ compiler as outlined...

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 streaming plugin, but I simply had no time. And as well, MythTV doesn't work with the cable cards (as far as I know). Anyhow, I got SlingBox/TiVo working beautifaully, but the SlingPlayer client has...

Yummy...

Guten tag aus Deutschland! I've had a very busy week, training and traveling, but I found some time today to blog. Just a few pics from the training session I gave in Hamburg, and our office in Frankfurt, Germany:   Outside Hamburg Hbf (main) station: Hamburg Hbf From the train:     ===   Liferay Europe Office:   ...

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 6.3 x 3 inches ; 3.7 ounces, it is about the size of a Nintendo DS Lite. NICE! They just came out with a 250GB version.   I highly rec'd this if you travel...
