Apache HTTP Server comes with a handy mod_status for monitoring current status and performance of itself. However, mod_status doesn't show the performance in the past. I like the historical data because it would help me to find problem occured since last crash.

Ubuntu Edgy Eft comes with Gaim 2.0.0 beta 3.1. Anyway, Gaim 2.0.0 beta 4 has just released. There is no official update yet. I found many threads in Ubuntu Forums discussing about unofficial deb of beta 4. For example, cookbook, beta 4, and beta 4 deb. There seems to have workable deb for Edgy Eft. However, I don't like anyone of them because most of them were built by checkinstall or Debian source package. So I decided to build one myself by modifying from Gaim 2.0.0 beta 3.1.

In my situation, I am going to develop a web application for running on a a web application like Apache Tomcat. The main IDE is Eclipse for sure. The problem is that development PCs are very old and have not much physical memory. It is not possible to run both Eclipse and Tomcat on these PCs. As a result, they will share a centralized Tomcat server for running in development process. That means the web application must be deployed on remote server instead of the localhost. All developers are not familiar to this infrastructure especially when remote server is Linux and their PCs are all Microsoft Windows XP. I am responsible to find the easiest solution.

From time to time, I love to continuously surf the web pages without interruption at home and at office. So one of my most favorite extensions is SessionSaver .2. Finally, this feature has been included into Firefox 2.0.

I decided to upgrade my laptop to Ubuntu Edgy Eft early to see what it is yesterday. At first, I downloaded a desktop disc for off-line upgrade. Sadly, I did the wrong thing. After inserted the cdrom disc, I got a dialog box indicated that we were going to upgrade distribution. However, I preferred to upgrade in text mode so I cancelled it immediately. That was just a problem.

Just a short note. I would like to add [jQueue][] to my todo list by starting from getting started. It is a good approach to develop program in javascript.
