I use Git and VI(m) quite a bit, and in the Liferay project the source format rules define that leading whitespace character is tab (with potentially trainling spaces before the rest of the line in some cases, but that's another story). Furthermore, tab width is 4. Since I'm commonly in the command line I hate that the source doesn't represent the same way that I see it in...

It's been an incredibly busy first half of 2010 and I haven't had as much time to blog as I'd like to. With new offices in Budapest and Brazil, rapid sales growth and rapid product releases, there's always too much to do and not enough time to communicate!  When you're always in the midst of all things Liferay you don't realize that the perception from the outside is not always...

They are maxed out on the RAM, have the fastest quad core available, and the second generation Intel SSD hard drives that Linus Torvalds recommended us. We had calculated the cost of doing it on the cloud, but it was a lot more economical for us to run it at our own colo facility because...

Quite a while ago I wrote an article on Liferay's Expandos (on top of which our Custom Attributes (Custom Fields) are built), using the WCM as the runtime for a small app called First Expando Bank.
