Blog relaunched

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

Posted in: fun with code, wordpress.

I just relaunched this blog, based on the latest 2.9 release of Wordpress.

The new design uses significantly less CSS and markup and increases the accessibility of the content. The design is also making use of the wider screen resolutions that became sort of a standard in the last years.

The image at the top is a scaled-up photograph of the Alps as seen from Bern, Switzerland.

Enjoy!

Checkstyle error: Uncommented main method found…

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Posted in: fun with code, java.

Just for the record: The checkstyle error Uncommented main method found does NOT mean the main method lacks a javadoc comment, but that the main method is not commented out. Checkstyle regards main methods as useless “debugging” leftovers.

//CHECKSTYLE:OFF and //CHECKSTYLE:ON helped me out. And yes, i think this particular check is really, really, really useless. I think someone using arbitrary main methods in sourcecode for debugging purposes is hardly going to know of checkstyle’s existence anyway…

Hmmm. Ich weis nicht.
