Spring Boot - Mutiple Config files and precedence

I have found this to be a useful pattern to follow:

@RunWith(SpringRunner)
@SpringBootTest(
    classes = [ TestConfiguration, MyApplication ],
    properties = [ "spring.config.name=application-MyTest_LowerImportance,application-MyTest_MostImportant"
    ,"debug=true", "trace=true"
] )

Here we override the use of "application.yml" to use "application-MyTest_LowerImportance.yml" and also "application-MyTest_MostImportant.yml"
(Spring will also look for .properties files)

Also included as an extra bonus are the debug and trace settings, on a separate line so you can comment them out if required ;]
The debug/trace are incredibly useful as Spring will dump the names of all the files it loads and those it tries to load.
You will see lines like this in the console at runtime:

Mac OS X External VGA Monitor - Blank Screen

Thought this might help someone out there on the interweb.

I have a Macbook and wanted to hook up my VGA monitor.
I already had a Mini DVI to DVI cable from Apple, so bought a DVI to VGA convertor.
This produced a blank screen on the external monitor, but the Mac thought that the screen was there.

The reason is that the Mini DVI to DVI cable only presents the DIGITAL signal to the DVI end, but VGA is ANALOG.
So it will never work.
I don't actually know whether the DVI-D to VGA convertor would ever work in any situation - it appears to be useless.

The solution is to buy the Mini DVI to VGA cable from Apple.
This works fine!

Orange mobile internet iphone problems August 2010

Hi,

Just a quick post to hopefully help some people.
It appears that Orange internet is broken today - 18th August 2010. 18/08/2010.
There are LOTS of posts on Twitter confirming this, and I just tried to ring the support line (while reading Twitter ;] ) and was put on hold for 20 minutes. I think everyone is calling them, which is what they deserve for failing to put an official announcement up.

Cheers,

Zebs
