I ported another one Rebecca Wei's beautiful Wordpress themes to Roller, Ocadia You can see the results on Carl's blog. It was an easy port because the underlying HTML is almost identical to that in Almost Spring.
Comments are back, by the way.

It's really not that hard to do, but a couple of new Roller macros would make it a lot easier. After an hour or so, I ported Almost Spring to Roller. It's running on Otto's blog. I think I'm going to try a couple more.
I case you're wondering, most Wordpress themes are licensed under GPL. That means we can't include them in Roller (since Roller is Apache licensed), but somebody could offer a separately downloadable theme-pack.
One thing I noticed during this exercise is that Wordpress themes are dangerous. They're written in PHP, so you don't want Joe average user to edit them. As the Wordpress.com FAQ says templates are "untrusted code that we havenât verified" so template editing and importing are banned. Contrast that with Roller, where templates are written in Velocity and are therefore safe for end-user customization.

Last weekend, I helped Alex finish his first model: a 1/48th scale replica of a Republic P-47D Thunderbolt fighter. Alex did everything except for the putty/sanding work and some of the finer painting. I spent a *lot* of time building models and painting miniatures when I was a kid. I entered hobby store contests and even convinced my parents to buy an air-compressor and an airbrush for me. It's cool to rediscover some of that fun with Alex.
Kit by Revell/Monogram.

The weekend is over so I suppose I should blog something to move that awful underwear experiment post down of the page. So how about this. As Rich Sharples asks, why would anybody use Websphere Community Edition rather than Glassfish/Sun Java App Server? Know why? Leave him a comment.

Lookin' good!
I gave up on the first Netbeans 5.0 beta, it threw way too many weird exceptions and I just didn't have the time. Fortuately, the new beta2 release looks a lot better. I switched to beta2 on my Mac and tomorrow, I'll do the same on my Solaris x86 box. It's got all the refactorings I'd been using in Eclipse and the new CVS client is fantastic compared to the old one and only an interation (or two) away from matching the one in Eclipse.
The only significant shortcomings I've found are the lack of Subversion support and no global search-and-replace. Actually, Netbeans 5.0 does have Subversion support, but it's based on the crummy old "generic VCS" system and, what's worse, you can't use both the new CVS client and the Subversion client at the same time. That's pretty disappointing for those who have projects in both CVS and Subversion (like me). So Netbeans guys, want me to delete Eclipse from my hard-dive? You're almost there. Just add those two missing features.

I get the feeling a lot of people are clicking the refresh button today and seeing this message from Google Analytics:
Analytics has been successfully installed and data is being gathered now. Your first reports will be ready within twelve hours.
And it's not just us cheap bastards either, paying customers are also waiting. Sounds like somebody failed to plan.
