BZFLAG is back

Remembering the days when we hacked BzFlag client to achieve super-tank powers…ok, it was my contribute to trolling tradition.
It’s even more enjoable now, and there’s even less trolling around.
Basically you drive a tank, and gotta take out other guys. Depending on the arena, you are allowed to jump.
I know, tanks don’t jump, but jumping and turning in mid-air is definitely a blast.
You have a full set of weapons, but to use them you have to find the right flag…

First of all read the not-so-QuickStart page from Hibernate.org. Update: another good source of info is Baccus.
After spending an half-a-day to make it work, I collected here some issues and fixes.
As you can read in the comments in the same page, the QuickStart tutorial doesn’t work out of the box. I think there are different issues: the main one is that probably it’s a bit outdated vs the current NHibernate version. But the comments in that page are indeed very useful. If you have problem running the Quickstart, have a look there. Credit for many solutions goes to the guys that posted their fixes on that page.

Looking at the logs, there are various explanations for this issue. My was a little more stranger than usual: Flickr would say failed, while Wordpress would correctly show the test post.

I found my solution looking at the logs.

[client xxxxxxxx] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of ********* bytes exhausted (tried to allocate ***** bytes) in ****************/wp-includes/cache.php on line **

See also: http://www.ktulu.it/2008/01/12/fatal-error-in-wordpress/

The solution was simple; just add this line to your .htaccess file (assuming your can access it)

php_value memory_limit XX000000

where XX you can put your reasonable amount of memory (those are bytes).
Maybe you can tweak it raising it step by step. Simply writing down a large amount is not very healthy.
Anyway, 99% it’s your side fault, not Flickr fault.

Perl on Rails

Ruby on Rails

We’ve seen Ruby on Rails, and enjoyed it for a while.
But now, courtesy of BBC, we have also Pearl on Rails .

So we (the Audio and Music bit of Future Media and Technology - but more specifically Paul, Duncan, Michael and Jamie) embarked on building a Model-view-controller (MVC) framework in Perl.
For applications that run internally we use Ruby on Rail. Because we enjoy using it, its fast to develop with, straight forward to use and because we use it (i.e. to reduce knowledge transfer and training requirements) we decided to follow the same design patterns and coding conventions used in Rails when we built our MVC framew
ork. Yes that’s right we’ve built Perl on Rails.”
