PGnJ 0.8
Today I'm releasing PGnJ 0.8. I've been sitting on these updates since October but haven't released them because I've been really busy with work. In addition, Leopard came out and I wanted to revisit some of PGnJ's user interface. With this release I really wanted to concentrate on further refining the application rather than adding a lot of new SQL related features... keep reading
JTree Row Selection and PGnJ 0.8 Preview
I have been working on PGnJ 0.8 since the day I released 0.7. With this release I really wanted to concentrate on further refining the application rather than adding new SQL related features. By adding an About box, a Preference System, Software Update and refining the row selection behavior of the main JTree in PGnJ, I think I succeed in my goal... keep reading

For example, I wanted to pass a parameter to my JSP that was parsing and displaying my XML based change-log to control how much of the change-log.. keep reading
JSTL and XPath

What Have I Been Up To?
I'm 90% done with Argus 0.9, and I'm not sure how far with PGnJ 0.5 (I keep realizing things need to be re-written and I just don't want to release crap). Both are taking longer than I ever expected because of everything else going on. It's really hard to find time to work on personal projects. I'm .. keep reading
