Turning off JDK logging

I've been developing a simple little command line application and one of the libraries I'm using seems to log debug information to the console. To clean up the console output, I had to turn off the JDK by using: 
        LogManager.getLogManager().reset();
This seemed to do the trick for me, but it sounds like in some cases you may need to go a bit further and turn off logging at the global logger level: 
        LogManager.getLogManager().reset();
        Logger globalLogger = Logger.getLogger(java.util.logging.Logger.GLOBAL_LOGGER_NAME);
        globalLogger.setLevel(java.util.logging.Level.OFF);

Slow, Buffering, Stuttering Udemy Video

Udemy video has been completely unusable from my home broadband connection. Videos would take minutes to start playing and then continuously stutter and buffer. Searching for a solution I came across this Reddit post - and I found the solution was to change my DNS to use CloudFlare (1.1.1.1). After changing my AppleTV from automatic DNS to manual and using 1.1.1.1 video playback from the Udemy app has been as you would expect. I don't know why this helps, but it seems to have so far.

Memory upgrade for media center

I've noticed that my MythTV ( Mythbuntu 8.10) machine was using 100% of its 1G and swapping. (Incidently, I was running the Blootube widescreen theme, and just switching to the MythCenter theme resulted in a snappier experience). So, I went to buy more memory - and found that 1G cost AUD23 and a 2G stick was AUD45. Nice. I went for the 2G but when a friend commented that mixing a 1G + 2G I'd miss out on dual channel. Bummer, but I'll live with it. When I first installed the RAM, I put the new 2G chip in the same channel (A) as the existing 1G. Booting the PC reported 3G in single channel mode, but it wouldn't boot! It simply reported a CRC error and stopped! I took out the 1G stick, leaving just the 2G and booted okay. Hmmm, so now I put the 1G back, but in one of the channel B slots so the 2 sticks were in different channels. Now, when booting it reported 3G in Flex mode! I'd never heard of this so I looked it up. It all gets explained very well here , and what it

JUnit parameterized test with Spring autowiring AND transactions

I've been writing JUnit Parameterized tests (a nice intro here - also see Theories ) to do some data driven API testing. Now, when introducing Spring into the mix there are a couple of extra things to do . I came unstuck though because I was trying to do Transactional tests - since I'm now using @RunWith(Parameterized.class) and setting up my Spring TestContextManager manually the @Transaction annotations caused an exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Superclass has no null constructors but no arguments were given I couldn't find any built in solution, so I've gone with manual transaction management in my test, using doInTransaction: @RunWith(Parameterized.class) @ContextConfiguration(locations = "classpath*:/testContext.xml") public class MyTest { @Autowired PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager; private TestContextManager testContextManager; public MyTest (... parameters for test) { // store parameters in instance v
