JODConverter from Art of Solving is a work of art

Posted on February 5th, 2008 in FaxIt Nice by declanshanaghy

FaxIt Nice’s document conversion system has been supported on the back end by OpenOffice.org since the very first day we went into business. “OpenOffice.org is a multiplatform and multilingual office suite and an open-source project.” We received major help in this integration in our first release from Caolan Mc Namara, one of the developers of OpenOffice, for which we are truly thankful.

This time round, in FaxIt Nice 3.0 we streamlined our integration a little more thanks to a component named JODConverter, provided by “Art of Solving” a software house / IT consultancy firm run by Mirko Nasato in London, U.K.

FIN 3.0 Initial Deployment Plan

Posted on January 29th, 2008 in FaxIt Nice by declanshanaghy


I’ve started writing the initial deployment plan for FaxIt Nice 3.0. The webapp deployment itself should be pretty straightforward. We’ve already done it a million times on our staging server. Where things get complicated is making sure the distributed filesystem, FaxIt By Email, XML-RPC interface and DNS transfer to the new hosts all play nicely together in the new environment.

SCM Heaven - Continuous Integration

Posted on December 18th, 2007 in FaxIt Nice by declanshanaghy

With the small development team we have here in 350 Nice I always pretty much dismissed the advantages of running a continuous integration (CI) server. But every now and then a build does break, and it does affect people. This weekend i explored the magical world of CI. And i only scratched the surface i know that much.

Ghostscript problems

Posted on December 10th, 2007 in FaxIt Nice by declanshanaghy

After installing JODConverter the other day i was feeling ecstatic about how we can now handle document conversion in FIN 3.0 . However upon first use i got hit with a brick in the face!

Office Document Conversion Revitalized

Posted on December 6th, 2007 in FaxIt Nice by declanshanaghy

I just found a cool new document conversion library based on OpenOffice.org. As you may know OpenOffice.org is the foundation of our office document conversion system in FaxIt Nice. We’ve been using legacy OpenOffice.org 1.3 for a long time now. It’s reliable but dated. No support for WordPerfect and ODT. This new framework will allow us to upgrade to OpenOffice.org 2.3. Wahooooo!!
