Life Of A Java Geek: November 2009
http://rogiller.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Life Of A Java Geek. Wednesday, November 25, 2009. As of October 2009 I am (drum roll) an Independent Software Consultant. The "Independent" part is because I am not attached to any particular business entity and I will be marketing my skills as an individual. See my website at www.rogerdiller.com. As far as work, I have had the privilege of working with some great new clients in the last couple months and have been expanding my skillset much to my delight! Overall I have more than enough to do. Betw...

Life Of A Java Geek: May 2011
http://rogiller.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Life Of A Java Geek. Friday, May 13, 2011. I haven't blogged for a long time on the WGU school thing (in fact I haven't blogged much at all recently due to much busyness) but it has been coming right along. I am down to my final six classes and it appears I will be done this fall. It has been quite the ride. I have covered a ton of material in the last year and a half. Roger L. Diller.

Life Of A Java Geek: Getting your iPhone 4,4S, 5, or 5S fully working on Straight Talk
http://rogiller.blogspot.com/2013/06/getting-your-iphone-4-or-4s-fully.html
Life Of A Java Geek. Tuesday, June 11, 2013. Getting your iPhone 4,4S, 5, or 5S fully working on Straight Talk. If you want to use your iPhone 4, 4S, 5, or 5S on Straight Talk, it's usually pretty easy, or I should say was easy (as of this writing I don't think Straight Talk is offering any AT&T compatible SIM cards for purchase on their website). All you normally would have to do is install the correct configuration profile from http:/ www.unlockit.co.nz/unlockit/. Get an inactive T-Mobile micro SIM....

Life Of A Java Geek: Embracing JavaScript & the Web
http://rogiller.blogspot.com/2015/04/embracing-javascript-web.html
Life Of A Java Geek. Saturday, April 25, 2015. Embracing JavaScript and the Web. So back in October 2014 I wrote a post about Managing Web Complexity. In that post I discussed web abstractions that allow you to write in a solid engineering language such as Java and take care of generating all the "web stuff". The main tools that I am familiar with that do this are GWT and Vaadin. No way, that would not end well! With these server side frameworks, you are completely tied to the back end. In the case o...

Life Of A Java Geek: The Programming Dilemma
http://rogiller.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-programming-dilemma.html
Life Of A Java Geek. Friday, April 25, 2014. Software is code. Code is structure. Structure is meaning. Meaning requires structure. Almost by definition, structure does not change or adapt or otherwise it would lose meaning. So, in order to simulate "adaptable-ness", you have to make it configurable. But there is still structure, because there are still unchanging structures that information must flow through. Roger L. Diller. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Way of the Master. Roger L.

Life Of A Java Geek: June 2012
http://rogiller.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Life Of A Java Geek. Thursday, June 7, 2012. One issue in a system that I work on that was kind of side stepped around for awhile is the issue of custom fonts in reports, specifically reports built with the Jasper Reports framework. For a while we were just building all our reports in a standard font which was included in the build so this worked fine. So the best way is to just include the fonts in the build. Fortunately Jasper Reports includes something called font extensions that make this very ea...

Life Of A Java Geek. Monday, November 1, 2010. JasperReports and the Format Factory. The more I work with JasperReports, the more I admire the project altogether. It seems like every time when I'm like "I wonder if JasperReports can handle that" it does, and it does it well. Enter the Format Factory. The Format Factory concept is simple but powerful. The FormatFactory is an interface in the net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util package that you implement to create your own date and num...Create your number fo...

Life Of A Java Geek. Friday, May 14, 2010. Thoughts on Flash from Jobs. So I just happened to log onto Apple's site today and noticed this article on Flash by Steve Jobs:. Http:/ www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/. So in summary here is why Flash isn't going to be on iPad, iPhone and iPods. 1) Flash is not an "open" standard. 2) Apple mobile devices can already access tons of video content. 3) Flash's reliability, security and performance on Macs is not good. 5) Flash and touch interface not a match.
