Here was what Edmonton just had on Jan 10, 2007.

I was looking at Maven2 and am very convinced by its power. To have a project going, maven 2 can save you a lot of time on those small things. Testing report, build, dependency jar files and more. The Continuous Integration tool I used is continuum. A very nice tool, it works with Maven nicely.

Another thing that is worth to mention is that JSF is not that bad after all. I spent a little time on JSF and found it's not hard to pick-up. It is going to win a bigger market share soon. Because it's "standard". A lot people will buy it just because of that.

I'm glad that you are convinced to use maven 2. It is a great tool, however learning curve is a little bit long. But you got it very quick, smart! Now I have to convince you that Domain Driven Design is even better. Let's work together to figure out.

I think you did it. Domain Modeling is a nature way of design an application system. EJB3 and Spring 2 + AspectJ, will make it happen. POJO in Action is my next task.

Spring framework, Hibernate and MySQL Replication

Image
Laterly we have our site grown to the stage that a single mysql server will not able to do the job anymore. That's something we realy like to see. The CPU usage had reached more then 90% at peak traffic time. MySQL even crashed a couple time when we were running an early version. 5.0.x. Don't remember what it was exactly. But when we upgrade to 5.0.24, it stopped crashing. It was also unacceptablely slow under the heavy loads. We need some heavy duty database solution. I have read a couple articals about mysql cluster. So my first thought is cluster. But when we ask our hosting company to set up a MySQL cluster, they suggested replication instead. Sometimes you just could not judge things by their name. Have run into the word "replication" a couple times in the mysql ref book. I miss judged the replication function. My sql does not like some other databases, this replication is real-time replication. To set up a master/slave replication system up is really a straight ...

Mplayer mencoder converting videos to flv files

The website I worked on is a casual game and video type website. Lately I have got a chance to revisit the back end media conversion engine we built half year ago. Instead of using ffmpeg, this time I used mplayer project to do the trick. I like mencode better. FFmpeg is good, does everything, except did not give me enough options, switches to adjust. I did not find a middle way to have the quality and the size of the flv meet our needs. In our environment, I have faac, faad2, lame installed. Faac and faad2 are a little trouble-some. I downloaded their release first, the source code just would not compile. So I tried their cvs version. It worked perfectly. I think I was too cautious. Here is the mencode command I used: #mencoder $1 -o $2 -ofps 15 -of lavf \ -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=64 -srate 22050 -ovc lavc \ -lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames \ -lavcopts vcodec=flv:keyint=25:vbitrate=300:mbd=2:mv0\ :trell:v4mv:cbp:la...
