Suddenly, I have participated in publishing Diadoc SDK for Java to open source last week. I have no experience in Java development before and my task was to automate building and deploying of existing Java project. In this article I'll share my feeling about Java development and some maven tips I have faced with.

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is available now. Unfortunately, standard way for upgrading is not worked for me. Here I'll show dirty way to upgrade Ubuntu installation that works for me.

There are many guides how to upgrade your project to ASP.NET MVC 5. Some really useful official guides provide only the changing assembly versions solution. Is it so easy task as it seems? Let's review my experience.

Sometimes one picture can say more than much of words. In many situations when we need to explain or understand something, we starts to draw some entities on paper and links them by arrows instinctly. Article covers the way how to draw uml diagrams in plain text using plantuml tool.

Last time we started watching nodejs hanging on several TeamCity build agents when they builds website static content with webpack. Hanging was detected when nodejs was loading npm-package from our locally installed GitLab Community repository (here and after gitlab.com):

• nodejs cloned git-repository by ssh
• git executes ssh

• ssh thought git-host untrusted and issue user prompt for adding this host to known_hosts file like:

  The authenticity of host 'gitlab.com (<ip-address>)' can't be established.
  RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:<public-key>.
  Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
  

• executing git-cloning hanging until user enters yes in console

For now I have Ubuntu 15.10 system with mono installed. To run and use GitExtensions on linux I have installed mono runtime (that's more important, at least libmono-system-windows-forms library needed).

There is slippery place when you create new .NET 4.5 executable in Visual Studio 2012-2013 I learned today. .NET 4.5 executable project has new checkbox called "Prefer 32-bit", that .NET 4 and earlier doesn't have.

Today I finally implemented my blog's tags page. The goal was to give two presentations of tags: one sorted by name and second sorted by posts count. That was very hard to implement in liquid only and finally I wrote custom liquid filter for this task. In this post I will go through steps I made to final solution.

In this article I'll show how you can automate building jekyll site with gulp ready for production hosting.

From my expirience of working with PJSUA2, the correct way to exit is to ensure that destructors of all calls are called before pj::Account destructor and desturctor for pj::Account is called before pj::Endpoint destructor.

Windows 98 wasn't my first OS, but I really like it. It has great compatibility with old MS-DOS programs and run fast. Unfortunately, most of software written for Windows 98 can't run under modern Windows OS.

One of such software, that teached me to play on guitar with using some patterns and tricks, is "Guitar Hits Volume 1" and "Guitar Hits Volume 2" from Ubisoft. Windows 98 is last OS known to me that can run "Guitar Hits".

I just implemented open-source library for reading/writing settings from JSON and XML files based on PJSIP PJSUA2 persistent object model. You can find PJSettings library on GitHub.

I have installed Jetbrains TeamCity v8.1 in a corporate network with NTLM authorization proxy. On my desktop I use CNTLM proxy to give access to outside world for git.

Last day I had competition: setup TeamCity project with git submodules from github.

In this note I will use pkg-config in cmake to discover PJSIP libraries. Cmake script can be used without changes for linux and windows, but for windows it is necessary to do some hand-work (hand work can be automated).

There is three sections in this note:

• Installing pkg-config executable
• Installing right libpjrpoject.pc
• Discover PJSIP in cmake
