Day 2: Tigers!

It took a bit longer than I'd expected, but I made it through the Tigers upgrade. I'm now working with J2SE 5.0 Tiger on my Solaris x64 box, my Powerbook and as of a couple of minutes ago, this site is running on  5.0 as well.

I also upgraded my Powerbook from Panther to Mac OS X 10.4.3 Tiger. Along the way I learned that you shouldn't try to use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone to a network mounted drive (it will work, but it's extremely slow) and that I didn't really need to buy iLife (the old versions of iMovie, iDVD and iPhoto continue to work). Migrating to the new Mail.app took all morning, so I'm only now getting to my overflowing mailbox.

Atom protocol draft 7


I was planning on submitting Chapter 8 of RSS and Atom in Action to Manning today, but Atom protocol draft 7 has appeared. The changes look good and the only really significant one for me is the move from list templates, which allowed indexing into a collection, to next/previous paging as we had in draft 4. I'm going to revise my implementation, Chapter 8 and turn it in on Wednesday. Once that's done, I'll release Blogapps v0.1.
