The file sites/all/modules/cumulus/cumulus.js is missing. Please download it from http://pratul.in/files/cumulus.js, and add it to the Cumulus module folder!

Agents: are you still using or do you still have some code using the old syntax for agent? That is to say using the ~ operator.

ACM Awards Banquet

Posted June 11th, 2007 by Emmanuel Stapf

This week-end, I was at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego for the ACM Awards Banquet where the various ACM awards are given, including the ACM Turing Award (given for the first time to a woman, Frances Allen) and, of interest to me, the Software System Award given to Eiffel and Bertrand Meyer.

It started with a cocktail on Saturday evening:

Thread Extension

Some classes that extend EiffelThread.

Origo alpha launched

Posted April 19th, 2007 by Patrick Ruckstuhl

Yesterday the first alpha version of origo has been launched. Origo is a platform for distributed development and user interaction. It is built on a middleware architecture that uses JXTA and is written in Eiffel. This middleware provides an xmlrpc api which is used by a website to access and update data.

Daemon howto

Submitted by Patrick Ruckstuhl on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 22:39.

On Unix/Linux a daemon is a program that runs in the background independent from the logged in user.

The way to achieve this is normally to directly fork after the execution and let the parent process exit. This results in the child process having lost its parent which leads to the init process automatically inheriting this process.

Posted March 30th, 2007 by Emmanuel Stapf

This was announced today: Bertrand Meyer is the Recipient of Software System Award for Impact on Software Quality. Most precisely, for designing and developing the Eiffel programming language, method and environment, embodying the Design by Contract approach to software development and other features that facilitate the construction of reliable, extendible and efficient software.
