#introduction

Our motto is »#Linux #OpenSource News & #KnowHow for #Office Tasks.«

Our posts are for #solopreneurs, #trainers, #facilitators, and everybody else who tackles their office tasks using open source software under Linux.

While we appreciate #portability, we're strictly Linux-only. With respect to other operating systems: no bashing, no praise, no comparisons. We've already made our choice.

Java dev troubleshooting tale 🧑‍💻

My manager asked for help (albeit using the wrong terminology) to view the SQL generated by a #Java application he was running locally on a #JBoss AS instance via #Eclipse IDE. I explained that JBoss has a file where logging granularity for specific classes or packages can be defined, but its location depends on the version. After I inquired further, he managed to tell me the JBoss version, which was progress. I looked it up and quickly found a web page citing the specific configuration file for that version. I mentioned I wasn't sure if he'd checked already, but the page X says it's the file Y. Then I had to make guesses: if the app he's testing uses #Hibernate, he could set logging for certain two classes to TRACE in that file. If it's actually Hibernate under JPA, I commented that he might tweak certain properties in persistence.xml; otherwise, it would be another file. I emphasized that this is how it works at least in the Hibernate version I know. If it does not work this way, I concluded, he (or someone else—definitely not me!) would have to search the documentation for their specific Hibernate version.

🤔 ...Did I just tell my manager to #RTFM??? 🙀

Bei mir lag heute eine seltene 1995er CD-Version von Microsoft Word 6.0a für Windows 3.1 im Briefkasten. Hab euch natürlich gleich ein ISO-Image der CD-ROM, sowie einen schicken 300dpi Scan ins Internet-Archive gestellt. Kann ja vielleicht jemand brauchen.

On #organizations:

Here "Sociopaths" is a shorthand for the Protestant-Ethic will-to-power types who drive an organization to function despite itself.

"Among the Sociopaths, status is irrelevant. Table stakes and skill at using them is what matters. Sociopaths pay attention to what you have, and how well you bargain with it. Not who you are."

I have a new co-worker sitting in the half cube next to me. I asked her today: "Did you bring something healthy for lunch?" Instead of telling me yes or no, she braced herself for mockery and replied, "why are you going to make fun of me?"

I want to be my authentic self at work: care for myself, set boundaries, but most importantly respect others and show them the same compassion I would show myself.

It was very jarring to see someone on guard so early in their employ.
