I have quite a mixture of machines in my home network. It consists of Windows 2000 workstations, a MacOSX workstation, a PlayStation 2, bluetooth enabled Palm m505 and Siemens mobile, and a Debian GNU/Linux server. This provides for an excellent testbed for experimenting with interoperability issues between all of these and is a perfect playground to experiment with the different network technologies in use in the business environment today.

Not just one, but two great product announcements from Apple on this years MacWorld. The amazingly small, and cheap, Mac mini and the also highly affordable and tiny iPod shuffle. The iPod shuffle is available now and reportedly caused a stampede at the Apple store nearest the convention centre where MacWorld is held.

I managed to get spread up and running. Turned out I did not need any multicast routing after all. Documentation on multicast routing is sporadic and of poor quality, although it looks like using mrouted just works out of the box.

Christmas holidays are over, and although I do not go back to work before tomorrow, I had to get started today anyways. The load on one of the back-end servers was way too high, but we still are missing a proper tool to identify the real culprit. It turned out that most of the problems were caused by just two IP addresses which were very busy with collection all pages of sites hosted at us. After blacklisting those things became much more manageable.

After the switch to Jetty, I was still not quite happy with the performance of blojsom on my server, but it looks like activating Apache's mod_proxy really makes a difference.

I must say that I like Tomcat a lot, but after installing blojsom on my production server, I found that the performance was not really what I hoped for (well, heck, this is site is running on a 166 MHz Pentium, with 80Mb RAM, what would you expect).

After yesterday's ordeal, I decided it was time to get the blojsom moblog plugin to understand IMAP. This should not be a big deal, since the JavaMail API does support IMAP pretty much the same way as it does POP3.

After some successful experiments with blojsom on my (MacOSX) desktop, I spent quite some time getting stuff working on my Linux server. I had some peculiar problems with switching themes, i.e. FileNotFoundException after a seemingly successful switchover.
