CalPop just upgraded my server to CentOS 4.3.

So far so good. I'm fixing problems as I see them.

I think I've dealt with everything. Let me know if something doesn't work like it should.

Last week I decided to switch my landline to Verizon's VoiceWing VoIP service. Since I already use Verizon for DSL and phone, I figured it would be a smooth transition, and it was. The service was activated immediately; my phone number was ported in a few days, and we've really been enjoying it for a couple days. Except that this morning I received an email indicating my service had been suspended. I called them right away and was told they could not provide E-911 service at my location. Why they allowed me to switch to VoiceWing in the first place is still a big mystery. So here I am, left with no phone. The landline has already been deactivated. I'm so glad I use Skype as my business number. I just switched to Vonage, unfortunately it'll take 20 days or so for my phone number to transfer, but they are able to provide me with E-911. Go figure.

You've gotta admire a 29 years old who said no to Just for Men.

Using Runtime.getRuntime().exec() to launch an application is pretty straight forward, except when you're trying to start an application whose name contains one or more spaces.

Under Windows, you need to quote the application name:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\"My Appliaction.exe\"");

Under Mac OS X, you need to call open:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"open", "My Application.app"});

Under Linux? I'm not sure. So far I haven't figured it out.
