Chen recently published a major refactoring of our connection framework which up until now only supported Facebook login. With this recent refactoring the code to connect to various authentication services becomes far simpler and various services should become more pluggable. The default implementation centers around the Login and LoginCallback classes that use oAuth by default to perform the login. FacebookConnect keeps working j..

This blog post is going to explain how to route traffic on your host through a Tor Docker container. It’s actually a lot simplier than you would think. But it involves dealing with some unsavory things such as iptables. Run the Image I have a fork of the tor source code and a branch with a Dockerfile. I have submitted upstream… we will see if they take it. The final result is the image jess/tor , but you can easily build locally fro....

I have some news, two items actually. First , today (it’s still 18th June in California) is my blog’s 8th anniversary! I wrote my first blog post, about Advanced Oracle Troubleshooting , exactly 8 years ago, on 18th June 2007 and have written 229 blog posts since. I had started writing and accumulating my TPT script collection a couple of years earlier and now it has over 1000 files in it! And no, I don’t remember what all of them d..

A few weeks ago, I went whitewater rafting on the Nile in Uganda. My crew was given a choice of “wild or mild”. Our crew of nine, led by our master oarsman and rafting guide Jeff, chose wild.

So I’ve been at work almost a month now, and living in the truck for just as long. I’ve definitely established a comfortable routine, and I’m a lean, mean, code-producing machine on my team, so everything is going good. This means I can focus my non-work hours to the real goal: the big trip. The Trip When I interned in Silicon Valley last summer, I realized a few very important and related things:

You can read Part Two of this series here. This is the scene; on one side, we have the Android platform developers and on the other, the hackers. Just as with any software system, Android has its list of security problems. And it’s a pretty close race between the two sides.

Unfortunately, I’m not talking about some more RV/Hippie Van/Truck neighbors. No matter how well you plan out things, life always has a way of throwing little things at you to make sure you’re still paying attention. For the past week, life has been throwing the sound of jackhammers in my direction. It makes perfect sense that construction crews would work at night, when normal human beings aren’t at work and getting in their way, but I ....

Due to several recent events beyond my control I’m a bit behind on the project - hence the lack of updates which I apologise for. The goods news is that I’m back working to finish off the clusters and I’m happy to report that all is going to plan. Here is the final digram of the two-node cluster design: Plain text version available here This was generated from the LCMC tool (beware - it’s java!).

Becoming a Tech Lead is a tough transition for any developer, because only part of the skills and experience you had as a developer prepares you for the expectations of a new role. Instead of simply designing and writing code, a Tech Lead is suddenly responsible for an entire development team - and this means dealing with people, both technical and non-technical.

Up until now when building with include sources for iOS we also included a btres directory which was necessary for the old VM but no longer necessary in the new VM. This increased the distribution size considerably and we are now removing it to speed up the builds and reduce server costs. When we were in the process of reviewing the sizes of apps we noticed quite a few apps with resources weighing well over 5mb which would probably ca..

I remember my first computer fondly. As a kid I was more than addicted to the Commodore 64 – perfectly happy to sit and endure at least 5 minutes of the most colourful, potentially epileptic attack you can imagine, simply to have a few games of Boulder Dash.

Financial services companies are among the most highly regulated industries in the world. They also suffer from a trust issue. Trust is a key ingredient in making a financial services business viable. Why would I ever buy insurance, banking services or invest my savings via a company that I didn’t trust?

Let’s face it, your app is probably a commodity. As noted by Wikipedia , “a commodity has full or partial fungibility; that is, the market treats its instances as equivalent or nearly so with no regard to who produced them.” In basic English it means that your product can be easily replaced in part or completely by another to satisfy the needs of the market. For 99% of apps out there this means that if a user doesn’t find your app,..

Once upon a time I was making a pretty large app for Android. When everything was almost finished I wondered how shall I remove all my logs before publishing the app? Looks like many other developers are interested in the same question as well. Surprisingly, the recommented way out is to strip off the Log class from the production builds using ProGuard. Maybe Proguard is nice, but to me it’s really weird why instead of having a nice out-of-..

I occasionally mention how glad I am that I’m able to live the way I do, but it’s definitely not for everyone. In fact, the reason I’m able to do this is mainly because of the benefits afforded to me by the company I work at. Not that I expect many people are envious of my lifestyle, but for all those aspiring to live out of some type of vehicle, here is a list of hard requirements, collected through experience and in no particular order, t..
