Feels good to be home. After a month in Chennai, my own piece of paradise got sweeter. 🙂

The bad news is that I might get sent to Malaysia either mid this month or the third week of July. The duration depends on the timing, if ever that would push through. No sense worrying about things that you do not have control. This is the time for cliches so I will take the ‘relax, sit back and enjoy the ride!’-stance.

Oh, I also got my license yesterday. Now I am more dangerous than ever since I have added a speeding hulk of metal in my arsenal. People beware, my stupidity knows no bounds. 🙁

ciao!

Just in case

Just in case you missed it, I did another post, this time a page. I think I am on blogging fire, posting 3 entries in a single month. Yep, I am a blogging monster. 😛

I just popped into the Mandriva Users board and flashed through my thousand new posts and saw this link:

It’s supposed to be a Finnish folk song that is looped with Japanese Manga animation . It is supposed to either cheer you up, or make you gnash your teeth. I am ranking it next to the badger song. 😀

LLTHW: Importing Eclipse projects

I thought I was starting a new acronym but it seems NetHack has already first dibs on Lessons Learned The Hard Way. 😀 Anyway, any posts that I tag with this acronym should be self-explanatory. 😀

One of the training machines we are using is encountering a weird error because the user could not launch the plugin project for debugging. To make the matters worse, the error message just contains an empty string. The other machines does not seem to exhibit the problem.

After an hour of trial and error, we finally figured out the problem. Eclipse does not like importing projects that are placed in the C:\ (or root drive). The solution was to place the project code base in a intermediary directory (C:\Something) and then proceed with importing it in the workspace.

I do not know the rational explanation for this one and my initial google searches does not reveal anything that is remotely related. I will just chalk this one as a lesson learned the hard way.

ciao!
