Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
A new battery for my Roomba looks like it will cost $79. Ouch. That's a considerable %age of the full price of Rosie.
On the upside I'm currently typing on my Linux box via vnc4server from my Mac, so I have had one technical success.
I have been banging my head against the wall with Alfresco. No chance anyone here has it installed, and on Debian to boot? I'm all set for major geek work--Apple TV is playing me Aretha, taken headache meds, and all is promising with the world. Except Tomcat hates me.
I've decided that app server architectures are something I need to learn as much as possible about. Given that I'm stumped by the Alfresco install, does anyone have any suggestions about a good place to start learning about app servers in general?
ita, I've seen deals on refurbished Roomba batteries on Amazon.
I'm debating whether the cost of a new battery is worth it, given that this will be our third battery and we could have a whole new vacuum for the cost. (Really, the only reason for us to even think about it is that Dylan thinks the Roomba is a pet, and would be sad if it went away.)
World's Coolest Data Center
It is a newly opened high-security data center run by one of Sweden’s largest ISPs, located in an old nuclear bunker deep below the bedrock of Stockholm city, sealed off from the world by entrance doors 40 cm thick (almost 16 inches).
OK, those of you with Roombas...
I have a hardwood floor. I have one 4'X6' rug in the whole apartment. I want something that will eat the dust bunnies and massive amounts of hair I shed (I swear, I'm secretly my own pet). Something that will make my floors less icky.
But it seems if I want the one that mops the floor (the Scooba?) I would first have to have a DIFFERENT one that swept/vacuumed.
So...what is the best Roomba for me? I don't want to spend more than I need to...(and there seem to be about 80billion models on the website, from $129 to $500!)
Me? I'm waiting for a "Flexible Frank" model.

I've heard good things about Glassfish for hosting Ruby on Rails applications running under JRuby. Otherwise, I got nothing.
You can revive NiCad Batteries by Zapping them with an Arc Welder.
Please don't try that with your Li-Ion batteries, though.
