Lasagne

No appointments today; this was nice for a change. There were a lot of small things that I didn't have time for since I came back from Washington.

I made lasagne, using a recipe Richard told me. Almost without any herbs, but with a little wine added with the sauce. It was delicious.

I've been doing some 'house-keeping' on the server as well, which is a nice thing to do for somebody like me :) For the experts: I'm trying to see if I can install Java on the webserver (OpenBSD).

good luck with instaling java on openbsd. the trick is installing (making) tomcat, as a perk you get java

I installed jakarta-tomcat-4.0.6 from a package, which installed the redhat compatibility layer. I had to build the JDK from the ports, and it worked nicely:

# /usr/local/jdk1.3.1-linux/bin/java -version
java version "1.3.1_09"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_09-b03)
Classic VM (build 1.3.1_09-b03, green threads, nojit)

Tomcat 4.0.6 runs now but on different port that can't be reached from outside the firewall. It's just for experimenting. I would prefer to install JDK 1.4, but that will take require patience:

# pwd
/usr/ports/devel/jdk/1.4-linux
# make
===> jdk-linux-1.4.1_01 is marked as broken: unusable, only eats cpu; probably thread emulation problem.

Next week OpenBSD 3.4 will come out, perhaps that will have a working JDK 1.4, would be great.
