I don’t really want to copy dot files (eg. .DS_Store), and I want to avoid the bug that rsync exhibits with time-capsule where it loops creating multiple ..DS_Store.xxxx files.

Think you’ve protected your site against Cross-Site scripting attacks by escaping all the content that you’ve rendered? Thought about your javascript?
Here’s a neat bug that got us today. This example is contrived to show a point.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>XSS Example</title> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(function() { $('#users').each(function() { var select = $(this); var option = select.children('option').first(); select.after(option.text()); select.hide(); }); }); </script> </head> <body> <form method="post"> <p> <select id="users" name="users"> <option value="bad"><script>alert('xss');</script></option> </select> </p> </form> </body> </html> See the problem?...
Here is how I set up the Apache Ivy dependency manager so that it can fetch springframework JARs from the SpringSource Enterprise Bundle Repository.
Listing: ivysettings-custom.xml

HTML is notoriously difficult to parse and it has usually been a pain to do this in Java. Yes I know that there are parsers (like jtidy and nekohtml) that try to create a proper DOM but I’ve been waiting for something more lightweight.
Enter Jsoup. It feels like a mix of JQuery and Beautiful Soup (for Python).
String html = response.getContentAsString(); Document document = Jsoup.parse(html); Elements elements = document.select("#errorRef"); assertThat(elements....
I've been playing with Django & MySQL for a while but for my next project I wanted to integrate it with a PostgreSQL database. Everything went well until I wanted to install Psycopg as my python adapter to PostgreSQL.
After a bit of blundering about here's what it eventually took:
Download and install PostgreSQL one-click installer from http://www.postgresql.org/download/macosx. Remember to read the README file before actually running the installer. Download the psycopg2 source from http://initd....
I like non-sequential identifiers for resources. Easy to do in Java (with java.util.UUID) and in Python (using the uuid module). This has been a bit of a pain in Rails, until now - check out Ariejan de Vroom's post. I especially like his solution as it plays well with RSpec, although to be picky I would have chosen UUID.random_create rather than UUID.timestamp_create....
Most people who work with a Mac know Command-Tab to cycle through currently running applications, but few know of Command-~ (tilde): it allows you to cycle through all the windows of the current application. No more mucking around with F10....
