Roller session-timeout
I reduced my session timeout (1200 -> 15) and I'm seeing much better roller stability now. I don't this this site has crashed since.

RSS to iCal Converter
The RSSiCal converter appears to be what I've been looking for. I'd like to duplicate Roller's Big Calendar feature, but give it the look and feel of an iCal. When I run my rss feed through this tool, I get a bunch of text output (using IE 5.0/Win). I'd love a way to convert to the Aqua-fied look and feel on the fly.
Should I learn PHP?
It probably wouldn't take very long to learn, and it seems like a lot of folks like it. Is it worth it - a.k.a. will it get me more clients?
According to The FuzzyBlog!, Yahoo likes it. Read why Yahoo will use PHP over all other open source technologies. Personally, I think they chose PHP because they have the inventor working for them.
I think I'll pass on learning it at this time - I'm having to much fun with Java and all it's goodies.
Sun ONE will be free, and maybe Solaris?
From CNET News:
The company said it has released two new versions of its Sun ONE Application Server 7. The Platform Edition is available as a free download for Solaris and Windows operating systems. The Standard Edition includes additional management tools and costs $2,000 per server processor.
Maybe Sun is listening to Russell, because they've really started to pick things up lately. If you look at their homepage, it's all about this download. Too bad there's no Linux/OS X version. I doubt I can hack the Solaris version to work on OS X - though I was able to hack the Solaris J2EE RI to work. I've heard great things about the 7.0 version of the app server. I hope it does well.
Bias Alert: I've worked with Netscape/iPlanet application server since NAS 2.1 and have detailed knowledge how everything works/doesn't work. So my hoping for a better version is definitely tied to my existing knowledge and hopes of leveraging it with folks hoping to implement a Sun ONE Solution. Also, I am certified to teach iPlanet courses for Sun and I'd love to start getting more teaching gigs - they've been non-existent lately.
