Nice Java-based RSS Client

After very long time as a fan of RSS Feed Reader client, beginning one week ago I switched to RSSOwl client. There are following some reasons that make me happy use it (at least supporting feature that I want) :
1. This application is created using Java under Eclipse RCP
2. Good look and feel
3. Very user friendly (ease to use)
4. Has import and export feature (synchronizing with existing rss list)
5. Supports multipage on tabs (Feed Reader doesn't)

Just try it RSSOwl

Eclipse beats Netbeans in RCP application

I've got bad luck with Netbeans platform when I tried to create Rich Client Platform (RCP) application under that platform. Very lack tutorial, very hard configuration and very difficult to learn about the architecture. No good book that covers all of functionalities, I only found this link, http://platform.netbeans.org/, to create RCP from scratch and finally I was surrender and very struggle.

Now I am very satisfied with Eclipse RCP platform. There are many tutorials, good books, and also very nice design inside this technology. Just following step by step from the book and continues with implementing I feel how easy to create RCP with eclipse. Very simple and very rational able for beginner like me.

I am really like eclipse now, and also always using it in my java development. I think Netbeans needs more enhancement to compete with eclipse.

Which do you choose ?

From Marina to Ragunan

Very pleasant weekend :). Beginning travel to Ancol to go to Pulau Seribu, but unfortunately we was late because the boat already departed. Moving to another plan that was just staying at Pantai Marina, enjoying the view (to be honest very bad view :( ), and having lunch together till sunset. Very nice and tireness.

The second day we was back go to Ancol again, but Dufan was our next destination. Arrived at 12 o'clock then join the queue of Tornado almost 3 hours :(. But very worthy for us because this game very awful. Finishing all games till 8 o'clock at the evening and continue go to home with motorcycle. Hmm more tireness :(

Last day with rest of power go to Ragunan. Spent all day with walking around huge area and enjoy the animals behavior :p. Having lunch together again with Dinda. Hmm the most tireness :( I though.

The important morale that I've got is "Tireness is nothing, Togetherness is important". Many thanks to Dinda who spends all weekend with me and prepares all of those.

Observer pattern

Yesterday, I got stuck with JMS implementation. Why the JMS didn't listen properly to get asynchronous messages. When I take a look inside the code, then I guess the problem in the listener function. I have read some pattern and I know that Observer pattern is more likely Listener. Finally I got good old document stuff about Observer pattter and how to implement in Java. http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-10-1996/jw-10-howto.html?page=1

Damn it, I found that my real problem is not in Listener functionality but it's my mistake that didn't set the listener with proper class :p

Voiceless Screaming

I'm drowning in sadness
Falling far behind
I feel there is just no way out
Is there anyone there? Where am I?

Insanity and loneliness
Tear my painful heart
Broken heart keeps on going to beat
But it never stops bleeding

I've been waiting for love to come
Someone who wants to touch me inside
Memories of my yesterdays

Careless words and deeds
Masquerade of love
Gotta find my way outta here

I was blinded by dark desire
Over time I've been through it all
I'm crying my share of tears

What can I do
Will I make it through
I must be true to myself

Voiceless Screaming
Calling to me inside of my heart
Voiceless Screaming
Now is the time I got to speak out

Voice of faith, I'm starting to realize
Now my eyes can see
I have gone so far
I'm feeling breath of life

And I'm looking for love to reach
Someone I want to touch deep inside
Light shines on my sight of doubt
Don't be afraid
Move forward one step
Willing mind is what I have found at last

Voiceless Screaming
Calling to me inside of my heart
Voiceless Screaming
Now is the time I got to speak out

Voiceless Screaming
Calling to me inside of my heart
Knockin' on my soul's door
I believe in myself and trust what I do

Voiceless Screaming
Pain of the past still hurts me inside
Knockin' on my soul's door
I climb the stairs that lead me to Heaven

HTML5 will be born

After for long time using HTML4 then it's the right time to learn about brand new of HTML5. The interesting in my though is those syntax is more similar with XML (eXtensible Markup Language) instead of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language).

It'd be better at the first time you all take a look some new elements inside HTML5. Please refers to following link. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-html5/?ca=dgr-lnxw01NewHTML

Good works from WhatWG to make HTML better than the ancestor ( since 1999 HTML was frozen)

The JMS API Programming Model

Very simple and understanding JMS tutorial for dummies. If you want to learn the basic concept of JMS before implementing it then this http://java.sun.com/products/jms/tutorial/1_3_1-fcs/doc/prog_model.html is good for you. Don't forget to try(coding) and learn(reading) to get deeper knowledge.
