Planet Blue Obelisk website updates
After requests I added yesterday more visible the RSS and Atom feeds for the Planet Blue Obelisk. They are linked in the menu on the right, and as alternative links to the document. These should show up in most recent webbrowsers as feed icon in the lower right corner of the browser window. It is often an orange icon. I also added a ‘Leave a comment’ link to encourage people to leave comments on items. Please do! -
About JChemPaint's future and todays 2.1.5 release
Stefan has done an excellent debugging week on JChemPaint, while I have been late with a 2.1 release. Anyway, I’ve just uploaded a Java 1.4 compiled JChemPaint 2.1 series release. I was told the (reported) bug count is down to one, so I expect to see the next stable branch to be released soon (2.2 series). -

Open Source Swing: Jmol renderer runs!

Machine crash; SVN went along
Doesn’t happen often, but my machine crashed two hours ago. Not a big deal, because I have my important files in SVN. Oh wait, SVN had a commit in progress during the crash. So, svn recover. Mmmm… doesn’t work either. OK, SVN FAQ: try db_recover. That worked. No, it did not: svn commit still not working for the files I was trying to commit. Fortunately, I make regular SVN db backups so I created a brand new SVN repository from scratch and recovered the back up. That worked. Really.
