Hi, there are parts in your comment which I agree and parts which I disagree on, which I posted as a new blog post On rights and inheritance, and the natives on the no-man land. Thanks for your comments.

"It's comes down to supply and demand at the end of the day." Got to agree with that. Pretty curious where I would be in the next 3~5 years, as I try to stick to the senior developer/arhitect path.

Hi,
I have posted a link to a bare bone implementation project sample, that includes basic Opengl ES setup (but no rendering). Hope this helps as a good starting point!

Re: Jersey JAX-RS RI: An amazement

Hi there. I stopped at the point of looking at the internals, and then work came along which demanded quite a lot of my time, as well as I had to devote time for study.

I did not try out Spring 3.0, but I like the style and format they were using. In fact, with my current work project, I'm definitely leaning more and more towards Spring as a Web Framework (we are using Struts, but I am constantly comparing it with the way Spring works).

One thing that I recall about Jersey, was how it resolve url mapping to objects. I think internally it maintains a tree of those object, sort of like how Restlet works, and they start from the root, sub-roots, and so on. I was rather unhappy about that approach, and definitely prefer how Spring and Struts handle it (just a single, or maybe up to two transervals).

Just my two cents.

Thanks for the help! I think I managed to get the gist from the code blocks :D

Re: The horror of password management

Thanks for the application!

I'm sorry if the blog post sounded vaguely negative. I understand that it was very hard for 1Password to detect change password forms. I'm grumbling more about the websites than the application itself.

I really appreciated the password history section. It really helped a lot to remember what was the last generated password in case it was not saved/detected by 1Password. But I avoided the autosave feature, instead going back to the login page and saving the form again. When I tried out the autosave feature, I noticed that for one particular site, additional fields were added from the change password page (it shared the page with the change profile section).

And yes, it was really good that 1Password offers data export. I did a superdupr backup of my drive after changing all my passwords, and then after that export the password in a text file, copied it to my thumbdrive, and threw it into my drawer. I do hope I would never need to refer to that!

All in all, a great application! Though I do wish applications like Adium, iTunes, Mail, NetNewsWire, etc could integrate with it seamlessly, but that's hardly the fault of 1Password :)
