How to control Java Logger runtime levels? There are many approaches and each logging framework has their own peculiarities. This information is readily available, but surprisingly not many examples are given. [This is a repost; somehow it got lost] Here I show a programmatic example using the java.util.logging library; Log4J, SLF4J, and others...

Computer systems generate a lot of heat. There is great effort to remove that heat using passive or active systems (fans, pipes, etc). Then there is now efforts to design cooler systems. I wonder if this excess heat can also be reused. Somewhat like “grey water” systems reuse some types of water in a home. [...]

In my current job, we have to share info via capturing screen shots of various tools. A good example of this is Eclipse’s Java developers environment. The Eclipse IDE via the various added plugins and features captures a lot of metadata about a project and its various assets. For example, in the outline view you [...]

This post illustrates a subtle relationship between Mock Objects and Aspect Oriented Programming. Some code examples are shown, and ends with questions for further research. This is a follow on to a prior “Using AspectJ For Testing Legacy Code“. Categories and Subject Descriptors D.2.2 [Software Engineering]: Design Tools and...

The TV series Continuum starring Rachel Nichols has some fancy high tech augmented reality from the year 2077. There are no nerd glasses, the corporate state actually does something to the eyes and other neural circuitry that is used in conjunction with a fancy super-computer skin tight (of course) costume. Pretty neat. The tech is [...]

In my post “Galaxy Note is slow with Jelly Bean?” I was frustrated with the slow down after I updated my Note to Android Jelly Bean. So far this has helped: Clearing each apps cache (in app manager) Limiting background processes to 3 (in dev settings) Turning off the three windows animation scalings (in dev [...]

Strange I was writing a very simple JUnit test using JMockIt. But, it has a compile error. I wanted to also invoke the original mocked target object in the test. In the state based Mockup API one does this by adding a mockit.Invocation as the first argument to the method signature. Then, the original mocked [...]
