After upgrading Git to 1.5.4.2, I was having problems checking out projects from Apache’s subversion repository. When I would try to do something like: git svn clone –stdlayout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mina/asyncweb Git would output: Initialized empty Git repository in .git/ Using higher level of URL: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mina/asyncweb => https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not [...]

Who needs an architect?

Migrating ADBCJ to Google Code

As part of my master’s thesis, I’m developing an asynchronous event-driven database driver API that I call ADBCJ. I currently have three implementations of the API. One implementation uses JDBC and achieves asynchronism using a thread pool. The other two implementations are custom drivers that are built using Apache MINA. MINA is already an asynchronous [...]
