  • The production server wasn’t accessible for some reason today. Tomcat was running, and if I went to 127.0.0.1 on the server, things came up just fine. Fixed by restarting the server. Weird.
  • Backups
  • A really useful  blog with some tips and code snippets which you may undoubtedly need while coding in ADF.

  • Visit with Samir Nanavati to discuss feldman project. Nice meeting. *Terrible* traffic. It took 90 minutes to get to Tysons, and about 70 minutes to get back, for an 11:00 meeting. Oh yeah, and there was no one manning the full service booth on the toll road on the way back, so being a nice little drone, I paid by calling the posted number (FastPass). $1.00 toll, $6.00 handling charge. Then, after they took my money, they forwarded me to the toll road authority so that I could complain about the absence of a worker. I was then told that I should have run the toll. Awesome.

  • Tried to follow along with the ADF videos, but the components aren’t there. Well, they are kind of there, but have changed since the video was made. As a result, I made some progress, and can build things that look kind of reasonable, but they are not launchable. Don’t know why. So, I’m going to flail at something new tomorrow: ADF Hello World Tutorial
