The new p300 version will have an updated look which is more messenger-like. Also I have done some usability improvements.

Contact me if you want to test

1. Use “The Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies“. But beware, it will often mangle your search words
2. Often you can get your paper from there
3. If Citeseer is linked there, use that to get the PDF
4. Use the “TRY GOOGLE” link, maybe you can get the PDF with Google Scholar

Maybe Finding good names should have been written earlier Because p300 just means “project” + “$number_that_came_to_my_mind”

Interessant

Ich weiss schon wieso ich hier auch den Adobe Reader habe obwohl die Apple Vorschau 5 mal so schnell ist:

1. Bessere Darstellung mancher PDFs, besonders von meiner Uni. Die haben mit Vorschau eine schreckliche Schrift.
2. Besseres Kopieren aus mehrspaltigen Seiten. Die Vorschau will volle Breite kopieren, der Adobe Reader gottseidank nur das aus der Spalte, in der meine Maus ist.

Gestern gemacht und es war echt lecker

I’m currently changing the windows in p300 to a MDI interface.

While doing this, I have found a nice Java thing: setLocationByPlatform enables you to let your JVM choose the position of a new Window. This means that windows won’t be placed at 0,0 but will be overlapped according to what your platform thinks is nice.

I’ve added the geolocation of this blog to geourl.org

My neighborhood isn’t that interesting though

Interessante Aussagen bei heise autos.

Eine tolle Idee

Hab gestern im Kino gesehen wie jemand mit einem Ixi Ogo ueber ICQ chattet.

Ich wuerde mir ja sowas auch gern holen, aber die Vertraege und die Software sind zu einschraenkend: Ich will nicht nur ICQ, ich will auch Jabber, IRC und SSH. Oder eigentlich nur SSH, da mein Chat-Kram eh im screen laeuft. Dafuer waer ich dann sogar bereit 20 EUR im Moant zu zahlen.. nur leider gibts das was ich will nicht *seufz*

Update: Gibt auch Inoffizielle blogs und Foren. Muesste ich mich mal schlau machen ob es “gehackte” Firmwares gibt.

Sieht sogar sehr sehr schick aus.

Von heise

The latest version of p300 is a bugfix release, fixes and enhancements include:

• Better usage of Selector
• Global exception handler
• Properly set application name on OS X
• Check if we can really allocate a new file (does not work that properly yet)
• Do not query ourselves when getting a hostname pointing to us
• Only use ipv4 for the moment
• Fail if DISPLAY environment variable is set but we cannot initialize the UI
• Make sure we don’t save duplicate addresses for a host
• Fixed move problem with downloading 0-bytes files
• When 75% of incoming connection slots are in use we deactivate HTTP keep-aliv

Have fun

I’ve recently spent some hours to track down a mysterious bug and I just couldn’t find it. Since my application is using a lot of Threads/Workers  it came to my mind that a RuntimeException I did not catch could be the cause. I wrote a global handler for it and found where the problem was

The code in p300 I am using:

Somewhere in main():

Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new P300UncaughtExceptionHandler ());

The class:

public class P300UncaughtExceptionHandler implements Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler {
    public void uncaughtException(Thread t, Throwable e) {
        System.err.println ("Uncaught exception by " + t + ":");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

How to test it:

new Thread () { public void run () { throw new RuntimeException ("x");}}.start ();

For p300 I am currently using a Selector to check if I can read from or write to a socket.

However this lead me to a weird problem: I am selecting for at most 30 seconds and I have received a timeout for writing even though this can’t really be and only happens with some OS combinations. I’ve found this thread in the Sun Forums and adapted my internal logic to the information from this thread:

Instead of always selecting for OP_WRITE when I want to write, I just try to write. If i was not able to write everything (that is, buffer.remaining () > 0) I select for OP_WRITE.

This seems to work fine

(That fix is not in p300 619 yet, it will come with the next bugfix release in the next days)
