Tapestry looks very nice Tapestry Home While leaving a comment on my ActionForms: Struts' bastard child post, Erik Hatcher sounds like a broken record:

So I took 5 minutes and downloaded and deployed the WorkBench WAR. Check it out if you like. Looks pretty nice to me. The DatePicker is pretty cool, but it shows up in the wrong spot on Firefox - and it's annoying that I can't close it just by clicking on the screen somewhere (like most popup calendars). Also the Chart doesn't work on my Linux box (it worked fine on Windows).

However, if you're looking for something like the DisplayTag, Tapesty has that. The URLs it constructs for everything look a little ridiculous though. I wonder if a Filter with smarts could pretty those up? Posted in Java at Feb 09 2004, 12:24:39 PM MST 10 Comments

Google Ads Google Ads are a good thing - it looks like they'll be covering my hosting/bandwidth costs. Sweet! Posted in Roller at Feb 09 2004, 10:57:46 AM MST 1 Comment

Mozilla Firebird 0.8 - I'm not impressed I downloaded Mozilla Firefox (formerly known as Mozilla Firebird) for my Mac this morning and I'm definitely not impressed. I can't change the fonts and there's no scrollbar when I visit any sites. What a CF. As for Windows, I can't even download the installer. Too bad - this release had real potential.
