Jimmy seemed to need some help remembering music that came out if 2004. Jimmy, here are my Top 9 records of 2004. Happy Birthday!
I normally don’t mess with Java so this is likely a trivial point, I could very well be stating the most obvious of obvious things.
The documentation for Amazon’s EC2 Web Service actually had a well written explanation, but who reads? Scanning the setup instructions I saw:
[smbrown@jrcash$] java -version[smbrown@jrcash$] which javaJAVA_HOME is /Library/Java/Home it is the location where the sub folders bin/java/
What is my “JAVA_HOME“? it is “the full path of the directory that contains a sub-directory named bin which in turn contains the java“
To see your current JAVA_HOME:
[smbrown@jrcash$] echo $JAVA_HOME
To set a JAVA_HOME, insert this in your ~/.profile:
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home
export JAVA_HOME;
What is a better way to confirm your real Java version JAVA_HOME on OS X?
[smbrown@jrcash$] $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version
Thanks for taking a look you can go back to Twittering now. =)
Update (January 10, 2009): Amazon released their AWS Web Console, here’s an early tour.
From Patrick Haney, a JQuery technique to implement the ampersand method described at SimpleBits, “Use the Best Available Ampersand“.
use jQuery to parse the DOM, find any character matching “&”, and wrap it in a tag with the appropriate class.
I recently received a nice, polite, relevant email from an account exec. who works for a Social Media company. No surprise there, a few weeks ago I went to a networking event this company was a sponsor. Nothing to weird right, they sponsored a great event, making it very affordable for a bunch of interesting people to get together and talk shop.
The Rub: I had already contacted this company through multiple channels, I have an account exec working with me; I’ve emailed, twittered, exchanged business cards and talked on the phone with them for 30 mins. I know I’m in their Salesforce.com database.
A Reminder: Sucessfully engaging your customers requires more than technology. Social media, customer relationship management systems are not a substitute for effective, real communication.
Communicating effectively with customers isn’t easy—software doesn’t fix that.
One of the largest players in the social media platform space today showed me again that its not about the platform, its still about people.
Please stop adding this to email signatures (especially in color!)
Seriously, everytime I see one of these I feel icky. I don’t know, maybe don’t use color in your email, and done include three months of quoted correspondence below your signature might be a better place to start. Oh wait, here’s an idea, don’t email back “Thanks!” every time, my brain is part of the environment and you are hurting it.
