When you log in, you can see... :)

Maybe there is a psychological explanation when you see something like this, after you connect on your gmail account :) but these guys are not egoists, or people who are selling something, maybe they just think, that there is something there, worth of clicking on their pages:)

The first computer in my house - Commodore 610


Probably all of you are sentimental, when you talking about your first computer steps, and your first computer. Actually, my first computer steps were on Commodore 64, which has one of my best friend. But the first computer in my small room was computer on this picture, Commodore 610. It wasn't supported as 64, and in that time (1996) in Bosnia was very difficult to find any kind of software which you can run on this computer. But, surely, this computer and Commodore 64, helped to magnify my interests for IT, and those interests are still strong.

Managing your project in NetBeans

If you are software engineer, you probably have some experience in managing your projects. For those who aren't satisfied with way of managing or for those who never managed a project here is a short 'how-to' manage projects in NetBeans.
First, download NetBeans 6 and download SubVersion software.
Next, I found a very good subversion hosting, with nice support for collaboration between developers, http://www.codespaces.com/. You can create account there, or to find other subversion hosting. If you decide and register on codespaces, then next is to create subversion repository in admin section, place milestones, and set other parameters related for your projects. You can add users, assign tasks,set forum and much more useful stuff to improve your project management.
After one of added users logs, first he gets dashboard, a short project overview.
Each of users can easy upload their projects progress to repository. Simply open you java project in NetBeans, right click on project, choose Subversion->Import into Subversion Repository. If there is SVN error, check subversion software installation, set path to your installation and restart NetBeans. If there is no error, copy Repository link from Source code Tab in codespaces repository.
Insert your username and password and set folder name and import message.This message is ofter required on repositories, because of revisions reasons. If this is first time to upload project, then you can set "Project, version 1". Next what you'll be asked for is to select files to upload. I suggest to upload whole project.
Now, you are there - you can monitor your progres, and progress of others in the group, very easy update all changes of your code, and other useful things.

On Codespace, your development fellows and you have opportunity to monitor your code, browsing your project in Source code Tab

Potential logo for potential JUG B&H


Ok, in the middle of my "free time" (I'm always struggling with the time :)) I created a potential logo for Java User Group of Bosnia and Herzegovina. You are right, there is no such group right now, but that isn't reason that I can't combine something interesting for me. In procedure is registering java.ba domain name, and maybe sometimes if group be gathered, I can give it to community, and join :)
Picture is combined from main form of java logo and of course, map of my country.
There is also large picture on my drive, but I suppose this is enough size for overview.
