Good Prices Galore: T68i and Apples 23" Cinema Display

T68i I found a tip from Gizmodo today that the T68i from Sony Ericsson (I have this phone and love it) is now FREE (with service activation) at Amazon.com.

I also did a bit of surfing and discovered that Apple's 23-inch Cinema Display is now only $1999! Still a little rich for my blood, I'll wait until it hits $1200 this fall.

[ANNOUNCE] Opera 7 Released!

It appears that Opera 7 Final was quitely released today. There's only a Windows version at this point and I can't seem to download it. I wonder if this is b/c everyone is rushing to download it (never to use it again), or if the Internet is once again amiss thanks to SQL Server and lazy Admins. For once, I'm proud to be upgrade happy.

Enhancing the build process with CruiseControl and Maven

Now that we've passed the first milestone on my project, we're getting into "What's Next." I'm going to propose that we use Maven and CruiseControl to create a tighter continuous integration and testing process. I hope to continue to use our current Ant build.xml, just re-arrange some jars and such for Maven. Think it'll work? I'd love to hear any experiences or helpful hints with either of these tools. I have a start on Maven, and I think I'll be fine getting started with it, but I've never used CruiseControl. Luckily, I have Java Development with Ant on my desk to help me out.
