The Big Dipper

New week, new challenge in #twphch. This time it's "small people". Even though I've got two of them at home, I choose a more abstract interpretation.

Oslo Opera

Took this picture last night trying to catch some curves & lines for this week's twphch 015: "Kurver, linjer og former" translated to something like "Curves, Lines, and forms". This is Oslo's latest pride: it's new opera-building. I kinda liked the LED-lights illuminating the ground.

log4j, appenders, different files

I seem to end up doing the same searches on Google each time I want to set up a log4j-configuration; and mostly I want to be able to do the same things each time. Thought I'd just post an example log4j.properties which does want I want... Se comments below for some explanations.

One dedicated file for DB-logging. replicate for anything you want logged to a specific file.

included appender for STDOUT, even though it's not in use in this particular example

TRACE-log-level for my own classes/loggers

WARN-levels for everything else. The line with org.apache is redundant.

rotation (and deletion) of logfiles

Customized log-file-format (ConversionPattern)

Only print clasname in default (file) appender.

No fish

I'm quite happy with this picture of my daughter and niece taken on the see outside our summer-house this summer. It even made a fifth place (down to around 10 now) on Flickr Explore.
