Half Life 2 has got some problem on Vista 64 bit, it keeps crashing with a pop up message:
available memory less than 128mb!!! -1Solution for this is to run Half Life in Windows XP Compatibility Mode, right click on the short-cut of Half Life, click on the Compatibility tab, select Run this program in compatibility mode for:

jtpl is a light-weight java template engine, which is good for small size application but becomes sludgy for data intensive apps. Following example shows how to use jtpl with mysql.
jtpl replaces everything which is put inside {} and it uses html comments as entry and exit points
< ! -- BEGIN: main -- >this template file should be saved with the extension .jtpl
{This will be replaced by jtpl}
{ThisToo}
< ! -- END: main -- >
In your servlet you need to create a Template object which will take template file as input parameter.
Template tpl = new Template(new File("FULL_PATH\\home.jtpl"));
next you need to assign the value to the template parameters like:tpl.assign("ThisToo", "Assigned Value Here !"); in the end template is parsed using tpl.parse("main"); If you have nested template regions in a template like this:< ! -- BEGIN: main -- >Everything remains same except when you parse, you'll have to parse the inner region first, like:
< ! -- BEGIN: header-- >
{Links}
< ! -- BEGIN: header-- >
< ! -- END: main -- >
tpl.parse("main.header"); then the outer (or main) region:tpl.parse("main"); You can put as many regions you want inside a main region.Using jtpl with mysql(or any other db) is simple as explained above. Here is a sample template file home.jtpl:
<!-- BEGIN: main1 -->
<html>
<head>
<title>{PTITLE}</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div>
<a class="a" href="/anylink1">{LINK1}</a>
<a class="a" href="/anylink2">{LINK2}</a>
<a class="a" href="/anylink3">{LINK3}</a>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<!-- BEGIN: div -->
<div>
<a target="_blank" href ="{LINK}">{TITLE}</a>
<br><span>{CONTENT}</span>
</div>
<!-- END: div -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<!-- END: main1 --> and here is the Servlet:import net.sf.jtpl.Template;

jtpl is meant for small and simple applications, it does not have many features which other template engines like velocity, stringtemplate etc. have.jtpl also uses the SingleThreadModel which is not recommended also it gets slower with large data.
Presently I am using StringTemplate which is faster and better than jtpl.

Finally they are out but after using the combo, I have realized that the best integration of both was glassfish v2.1 and netbeans 7.1.
The new combo has got some troubles in integration I think (or I may be doing something wrong!). Whenever I try to restart the glassfish from netbeans, it stops but does not start properly, when browsing an application I get blank pages. Again I stop the server and start it from the console it works fine.
Creating virtual server is still a nightmare as it was in Beta release of GF.
Keep getting this exception in server log all the time:
SEVERE: PWC3989: An exception or error occurred in the container during the request processingOne reason may be enabling the Comet support in GF, but no exact idea.

tormac.info is a torrent search engine which uses Google custom search service to search 250+ torrent sites.
Created it after getting frustrated jumping from one torrent site to another site for a video.
It also displays latest feeds updated on a few torrent sites.
News:
- Netbeans 6.8 and Glassfish v3 released today.
- Got a new 1.4kva UPS
- updated natmac.org home page
RSS and ATOM are XML specifications for web syndication. 9am completely depends on RSS/ATOM feeds discovered on the web, it uses Argotic Syndication Framework .Net library for parsing the feed, it is able to do the job most of the time, but whenever it encounters an unwanted element in the feed it throws an exception, which is expected. But my question is why these unwanted elements are there at first place? Have a look at these two RSS 2.0 feeds:

Listing 2
Listing 1 shows the correct format of an RSS 2.0 feed. Listing 2 is incorrect since tag <item> is there after tag <channel> which is not the right place for <item> tag. Argotic Syndication Framework throws an exception for the Listing 2 and doesn't parse it further.This is one of the problems which I have observed along with the following:
1. Tag <language> missing or most of the time it has value "en-us" no matter what is the language used in the feed.These are a few problems which I have seen with the web feeds, although I am talking about only RSS 2.0 here, similar problems can be imagined with ATOM/BLOGML and other syndication formats.
2. Tag <pubDate> is missing or having some wrong value.
3. Mismatch between the actual format of the feed and the format declared in <rss version="??"> tag.
4. Description is missing.
5. Feed Title is missing.
6. Item Title is missing ...most stupid and irritating.
7. Incomplete/Relative url in <link> tag
