What task does Hibernate have?

Do you know the meaning of ‘Hibernate’? Yes, its meaning is to sleep during winter. So do you know what task does Hibernate written by Java have?

Yes, Hibernate stores any information to your database permanently “during winter”. Of course, all information stored to your database will escape to outside, if spring come!

… just kidding.

English post

In this blog, English entry post has been supported last week. If you speak English, you will be able to read my post. Of course, my English is very poor. Feel free to let me know the mistake, if you find it.

As an aside, this multilingual support has been gotten using qTranslate plug-in.

Thanks!

Begin providing life-cycle event!

In mixi platform, life-cycle event which most developers want has been provided.

[About life-cycle event - mixi Developer Center] (Japanese only)
http://developer.mixi.co.jp/appli/pc/lets_enjoy_making_mixiapp/lifecycle_event

If a mixi user install or un-install some application, the thing will be notified to an external server which the developer has. The life-cycle event was implemented on Hi5, and it was taken at the OpenSocial 0.8.

[Enable to receive the life-cycle event from v0.8 - OpenSocial-Japan] (Japanese only)
http://groups.google.co.jp/group/opensocial-japan/browse_thread/thread/baa5590cd35b58da/ba87c004d87508b6?lnk=gst&q=Lifecycle#ba87c004d87508b6

As event types, “addapp” and “removeapp” have been supported on mixi platform. For these, developers can know the situation about installing and un-installing for his/her application. Therefore, developers can do the following things:

Enable to know the usage situation of users.
Enable to clean the obsolete information.

Also, developers can receive the information “who did invite the user?” on the event.addapp type. In most applications, developers store the user list to be selected at the invitation and the user who invited in the database, and give the incentive to the user by the application.

However, developers really could not know “who did invite the user?”. For example, if the user was invited from 2 users for the same application, developers could not judge which is the user who invited you.

In the event.addapp case, if a mixi_invite_from parameter is included, developers can know that the user ID who invited. By this parameter, developers can speficy the user who should give some incentive correctly.

For reducing a load on mixi servers and developer’s servers, requests will be bound as one request. Therefore, please notice that developers can not receive the notification at the real-time.

Life-cycle event is supported for both devices of PC and Mobile. Using this function, I look forward to more great applications developed and published!

Give me back the dinosaur!

I really wanted very reputable Windows 7, and I have bought its upgrade version. And I have join users, because my Windows XP on Parallels was upgraded to Windows 7.

Of course, I have continued to use Windows since Windows 3.1, and there is a thing which I have been loving since Windows NT 3.51. It is a Dinosaur!

This is a mouse cursor which installed from the start. The cursor above is a blue dinosaur, but there is a yellow dinosaur with a ribbon, and it is so pretty. It did my heart heal very well. The first thing which I should do after installing Windows was what changing the cursor to this dinosaur.

But! I could not find the dinosaur on Windows 7!

mouse_list

It gave me a big shock. I virtually say that Windows is degenerate. It’s terrible. It’s too much. I believe that the dinosaur will walk really nice, because I can use Aero on Parallels 5.0, but…

Please tell me a spell to resurrect the dinosaur on my Windows7.
