I’m getting back into music again big time. Well, I’ll always be a stinkin’ amateur, but I’m having fun practicing my singing and playing guitar. I’m taking singing lessons with Andrew Vait. Just had my first lessons this week. He’s a very nice guy, and a good singer and teacher. If you’re in Seattle and looking [...]

There were a couple of bug reports that were solved for this second release of RunJettyRun. Unfortunately, I messed up the first release, and you can’t just update the plugin. If you want to install this, you’ll have to manually deinstall the 1.0.0 ... [More] version and install 1.0.1. Next time, automatic updates should be working ok. See http://code.google.com/p/run-jetty-run/ for [...] [Less]

This line caught my eye (and I have no idea how I got there in the first place): Open source just looks like the future to me. Who would’ve thought, but it is pure communism! If people are willing to give such sophisticated solutions away for free, businesses are going to adopt them and there’s no [...]

Man, the dzone site sucks. I haven’t been able to login with my account for weeks.I really wanted to vote on an entry today, so I figured I’d report my login troubles to them.

I can honestly say that wicket’s OO approach is the right way of doing things for web application development. If anyone is interested in [...]

No, I didn’t have time for this. But I just couldn’t help myself, really. I took another shot at an Eclipse/ Jetty plugin. Out of annoyance with another Eclipse plugin (unrelated to Jetty, and I won’t mention which one), I realized how annoying it must have been for the users of JettyLauncher to not have had [...]

For all of you following Scala, the first real book is out now! I just bought/ downloaded it, and it looks good. You can get it on the Artima website. Where do I get some time to actually read it. :-) If you have plans to dive into Scala and you are new to Functional Programming (like [...]

Via a post on the Scala list I read about the ‘Blub paradox‘ (which roughly stands for the fact that most programmers tend to stick with the languages they already know and/ or go for middle-of-the-road) for the first time, years after it was written. There are a couple of fantastic quotes in there, like: “You [...]

We’re looking for people for our Manhattan office. Sorry for being lazy, but I’ll just copy the job description here: Junior Software Engineer(Java) Teachscape, Inc. is looking to hire a Junior Software Engineer to work in our downtown New York ... [More] office. We have a small, very experienced and talented team. We work with cutting edge technology and [...] [Less]
