10+ YEARS


Over 10 years ago, I wrote my first blog post. Since then, I've authored books, had kids, traveled the world, found Trish and blogged about it all.

IE5/Mac is dead.

According to Zeldman, IE5 for the Mac is dead.

The rumors flew all day, but we held off writing about this until we had it from an unimpeachable source. Jimmy Grewal is a key member of the Mac Internet Explorer team and a stand-up guy. He confirms that IE5/Mac is dead.

In my opinion, this is a good thing. One less browser to worry about.

Denver JUG - one of the top 25 JUGs!

I should start off this post by rubbing it in that the Denver JUG beat the Triangle JUG as one of the top 12 Java Users Groups - but that would be pointless. I would be trying to tease the guys I know involved with the TriJUG, while I only attend DJUG as spectator, rather than a contributor. So I won't, but congrats to both JUGs (and all top JUGs) - it's awesome that we both have such thriving communities in our neighborhoods. From the e-mail:

BENEFITS TO DENVERJUG
The selection of DenverJUG means members will receive some "premium" services from Sun, such as alpha and beta releases of new Sun projects (like the Java Rave development environment announced this week at Sun One). Other benefits from being in the Top 25 will be announced at the next meeting (July 9 - featuring Sue Spielman, currently Blogging from JavaOne).

Testing Roller's WikiPlugin

Does this sucker work as designed? I hope so. Let's test out linking to my Struts Resume Support page. It looks like it still needs some work. My suggestions for improvement:

  • Use valid HTML - this is probably a JSPWiki thing. All the attributes in my links are currently uppercase - invalidating my XHTML. It's not valid with twisty comments anyway, so I don't care too much.
  • Produce the same HTML in my RSS Feed as is presented in the HTML version. Actually, it looks like it's just the <description> element that's still wiki-fied.

This is a very cool plugin and makes it much easier to type a post. It'll take a little getting used to, but it is very slick. As a demo, here's the text I entered.

[ANNOUNCE] XDoclet 1.2 Beta 3 Released!

From the XDoclet News page:

This is the last milestone towards our next big release. Over 130 bugs are fixed. For a detailed change log, please refer to XDoclet 1.2 Beta 3 Change Log.

Cool! Downloading now...

15 minutes later: I suspected this as soon as I saw the download. You'll need to download XJavaDoc 1.0 along with this release. I installed this release (+ xjavadoc) in my appfuse-based project at Comcast, and everything just worked. I dig it.

DeepBlack ~ Java-based weblog app

I found this gem on the Hibernate developer's mailing list this morning.

It's released under GPL, and I've been developing this for the last year or so and while I consider it a early beta, it's really got a lot of features, and I definitely believe it's a strong alternative to any webblog app out there, including Moveable Type.

DeepBlack is found here: http://deepblack.blackcore.com

And I do eat my own dogfood. To see it in action:

Looks nice Tim! And you gotta like this part:

Roller is another excellent blog program that's been gaining a good audience. I even admit to looking around the Roller code in the CVS every once a while for ideas.

Glad to hear we helped!
