Fix Facebook badge snippet
Sometimes, when generating Facebook profile badges (http://www.facebook.com/facebook-widgets/profilebadges.php) that the resulting badge doesn't work correctly (broken link). To fix the error change the HTML generated in the following manner: substitute the http://badge.facebook.com/badge/1613451344..........png tag with http://www.facebook.com/badge/1613451344..........png and you are done.
Keep your secrets
Hi all,
today I want to promote an open source software that allows to keep your accounts, passwords and PIN numbers in a safe place. Lockcrypt (http://www.lockcrypt.com) is developed in Java and is available for the Windows platflorm and also Windows Mobile and J2ME.
The way of working is very easy; the first time you start it you'll be asked to set a master password that will be used to encrypt the database. The encryted database can be stored on a file or on a MySQL database.
A set of templates are already defined: web sites credentials, bank accounts, credit cards, etc.
I consider LockCrypt a very useful software, taking into account that today we are full of account and passwords to remember from the hundreds of sites in which we are registered.

SCJD Certification Exam
After 3 months of work I've completed my assignment for the SCJD (Sun Certification Java Developer) exam. In particular the assignment was URLyBird 1.3.1, an hotel booking system. The architecture is composed of a RMI server and a Swing client. The database is implemented as a file, with locking primitives for updating records. Here you can find the entire project JAR: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1580227/URLyBird.zip

Reset your turn-around time!
Hi guys,
at the last JavaDay in Rome I discovered a very exciting tool called JRebel (http://www.zeroturnaround.com). Initially I was sceptic about it but finally I tried and I was impressed by the great advantages gives you while developing Java EE applications. In few words, with JRebel, you can do your changes to your Java beans, edit your Spring & Hibernate XMLs without restarting the application server. JRebel scans automatically your IDE project workspace and loads the updated version of the class when needed.
Obviously, performances can be a bit lower than a normal deployed application but in this way you can save about 30 minutes a day (depending on your application turnaround time - for me this time is 20 sec). The tool is not free but there are trial licenses so give it a try!
