February 27th, 2009 Here’s a great way of learning JSF from the JSF For Non-Believers series by Rick Hightower at IBM Developerworks.
Clearing The FUD About JSF
The JSF Application Lifecycle
JSF Conversion and Validation
JSF Component Development
Pretty good although one thing to watch out for is that you need to change the faces-config.xml from the DTD used by JSF 1.1 to [...]
February 22nd, 2009 I recently upgraded to the latest Wordpress. That in itself is a long story. For some reason, the automatic upgrade didn’t work and I had to manually upgrade. I got that done but I noticed my posts were showing weird characters like  or †or or ?. I looked it up and apparently it [...]
February 16th, 2009 Chei and I attended a fair at Tagaytay last Saturday. It was a smallish affair with only a handful of exhibitors. However, we did get to meet Vergel of Town’s Delight. He suggested a place called Moon Garden and offered to show us around the next day. Who are we to decline such and offer, [...]

February 9th, 2009 Edong, Elanor, James, Chei and I visited Tagaytay yesterday. It was just a brief sojourn: We had lunch at Leslie’s (crowded and they serve water very grudgingly), coffee at Bag of Beans (barako is strong!), and went zip-lining (awesome :P) at Tagaytay Ridge Zipline and Cable Car inside Picnic Grove.
February 5th, 2009 Doubt is about Sister Aloysius, a ultra-strict ultra-conservative nun who is the headmistress of a school. She is on a crusade against Fr.
