  • Setting Up An Android App Build Environment With Eclipse, Android SDK, PhoneGap (Debian Squeeze)

    android Author: Falko TimmeTags: , , , Comments: 4

    Setting Up An Android App Build Environment With Eclipse, Android SDK, PhoneGap (Debian Squeeze) This tutorial describes how you can set up an development environment for building Android apps on a Debian Squeeze desktop using Eclipse, the Android SDK, and PhoneGap. I will describe how to build Android apps from the command line with PhoneGap and from the GUI with Eclipse and PhoneGap and how to test them in an Android emulator and on a real Android device. PhoneGap allows you to develop your Android applications using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (e.g. with JavaScript libraries such as jQuery/jQTouch), and it will turn these web apps into native Android apps (in fact, PhoneGap supports multiple platforms such as Android, iPhone, Palm, Windows Mobile, Symbian, so you can use the same sources to create apps for multiple platforms).

  • Jari's Procmail Tips Page

    Author: jari_aaltoTags: Comments: 0

    This is a Procmail Tips page: a collection of procmail recipes, instructions, howtos. The document also contains URL pointers to the procmail mailing list and sites that fight against Internet UBE. Procmail is powerful mail handling tool and a lot of space here has been devoted to discuss about UBE (aka Spam) and its essence. You will also find many other interesting subjects that discuss about internet mail in general: mail headers, MIME and RFCs. Another part of this document is dedicated to Emacs and Emacs plug-in package Gnus.el, simply because Emacs is the best tool you can use to deal with your mail and news reading. Nowadays Emacs is also available in Windows platform as well. This is not to say that existing Unix elm(1), mutt(1) or pine(1), slrn(1) mail/news programs are bad, they are just limited in power compared to Emacs and usually tied to Unix platform. Finally, to your blessing or curse (smile) the author happens to know Emacs quite well. The tips are compiled from the procmail discussion list, from comp.mail.misc and from the author's own experiences with procmail.

Furthermore we have an Offsite Replication Server, which ideally stands in a physically different position and replicates the configurations/storage from which ever node is active. In case of emergency this Offsite Replication Server can be used to restore the cluster and to deliver the services.

    Make Browsers Cache Static Files With mod_expires On Apache2 (Debian Squeeze) This tutorial explains how you can configure Apache2 to set the Expires HTTP header and the max-age directive of the Cache-Control HTTP header of static files (such as images, CSS and Javascript files) to a date in the future so that these files will be cached by your visitors' browsers. This saves bandwidth and makes your web site appear faster (if a user visits your site for a second time, static files will be fetched from the browser cache). This tutorial was written for Debian Squeeze.
