I figured the OpenLogic guys might've botten blueglue.com. However, when I tried it - I got something much better - check it out yourself.
Java One Blogger Meetup on Monday. Be there or be square. I'll be around Sunday night if anyone wants to do a little pre-party before Monday. My goals for the week are to attend at least 5 sessions and meet some folks that I've never meet before. Who's bringing the chasers? ;-)
EJB Solutions has changed their name to Open Logic and Out-of-the-Box has become Blue Glue. Why do I care? Because I start working for them (as a contractor) tomorrow! It'll be cool to work for a company that's just changed their whole website and released a new version of their product. Sounds like my kind of environment. It's kinda strange that their press releases have next Monday on them - I guess to coincide with JavaOne?
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there. I'd particularly like to recognize Dave, Lance and Russ. All were Dads when I met them through this blogging medium, and its great to see they continue to produce content and more children. Russ - is there going to be a #2?
Below is a recent picture of Abbie - I sure am a proud Papa!
Of course, I'd also like to recognize my own Dad - who continues to amaze me with his knowledge of history and his perception on life. Our trip back from San Diego was a blast and I can't wait until he (and the rest of my family) comes out to Denver for my birthday next month. Thanks for being such a great friend and father Pappy.
I've never been to JavaOne before, but this year I'm attending thanks to SourceBeat. I was planning on attending this conference as I do most - show up, look at the sessions and attend the ones that sound interesting. If it's anything like the MySQL Conference I attended in April, I won't be attending many. There were a lot of PHP and clustering sessions that just didn't interest me, so I only attended a few sessions each day. Compare that to NFJS, where there were many interesting sessions that same time and I hated choosing one over the other.
JavaOne is approaching fast and we'll all be there in 10 days. There seems to be a lot of folks planning what they're going to see each day. Is this a good idea, or can I get away with wingin' it? What about the parties - I've heard about them, but I have no idea what they entail? Are they corporate sponsored - or just a bunch of guys going out drinking together?
I did a little navel gazing this morning after reading this post and its links. As of today, I'm the 20th result for "Matt" on Google. If I had the word "matt" in my domain name, I wouldn't be surprised, but the fact that I hardly have it anywhere probably means a lot of folks are linking to me. Maybe it's because my Google Number is almost to 50,000.
It's funny that in 1 and 1/2 years, I've gone from #213 to #20. Matt Croydon was #45 when I was #213. Now he's #30. How's that for a bunch of useless information?! ;-)
I'm riding my bike all over Denver and hacking Word. It's been a productive and fun week so far. Don't expect many updates.
I just tried to pull up JRoller to see what folks have been gabbing about for the last couple of hours. Strangely, I encountered the following message:
JRoller is currently offline for scheduled maintenance.
My question is - how can it be scheduled if they never told anyone about it? Did you get an e-mail? I don't mean to harp on Dave or the JavaLobby guys, it would simply be nice to know when maintenance will occur. Heck, maybe I can even help! ;-)
An interesting post titled "Project and Build Structure" showed up on javablogs.com today. As I began reading the project structure layout, I thought, "that looks good." It wasn't until I viewed the build.xml file that I realized that Seyed had copied AppFuse and modified it to his needs. This is fine and the license allows you to do this. However, Seyed's post seem to indicate that he is coming up with all of this stuff on his own. It seems, to me, that Seyed is (so far) in violation of AppFuse's license. Of course, if he'd merely give credit to AppFuse, he'd be free and clear! ;-)
I need a logo for AppFuse. I don't care if it has the name "AppFuse" in it or if it's just an icon sort-of-thing. I'm primarily looking to replace the default icon on java.net - but good project logos are always cool. Hopefully it will imply what AppFuse is (a jumpstart kit for java webapps), but I'm more keen on a good-looking design that anything. I'll buy the winner an iPod mini. If you have a logo you'd like to submit, please upload it to my wiki using the "Attach File..." link at the bottom of the page.
Update: Wow - there's already 8 entries in 24 hours! Sweet! I think I'll end the contest next Thursday, (the 24th) and announce a winner on Friday evening.
