Lots of Java activity in San Francisco

The last 24 hours here in San Francisco have been quite interesting. Yesterday, I had lunch with a group of AppFuse users. They work for a company a few blocks from my training class. Chipotle was on the way, so I grabbed a burrito on my route and had a great time talking with them about the various open source tools that AppFuse uses, as well as what's on the roadmap. Thanks for the cookies John!

After class yesterday, I had a Guinness with an AppFuse user that recently put a high-volume site into production. He said it's held up surprisingly well and AppFuse greatly simplified his ability to deliver the project on time. In fact, most of the features the client wanted were already built-in.

Last night was another hotbed for Java talk - from web frameworks to TSSS in Vegas. Matt Filios and I had dinner and drinks with Mike "wanna play poker" Cannon-Brookes, Crazy Bob, Patrick Linskey, Geoff Hendrey (I hope I got the name right) and a number of other guys whose names escape me. It was Mike's birthday, so I left early to avoid the chaos that Crazy Bob and Mike always seem to stir up.

To top it all off, this morning I ran into a couple of folks that read this blog. I was getting breakfast at a local bagel shop - when a guy came up to me and asked "Is your name Matt"? I answered yes, and we talked briefly about my trip out here. It was kinda wierd being recognized, but kinda cool at the same time. It was good to meet you Nadeem.

I'm heading home from this wonderfully warm place tonight, but I'm sure I'll be back in the near future.

It was nice meeting you too Matt. I left a comment last night but for some reason it's not here anymore. Let me know next time you're in town and maybe, if you have time, we can meet somewhere.

I'm heading home from this wonderfully warm place tonight

As a native born San Franciscan now living in Orlando (and bummed that you're no longer scheduled to appear at Orlando JUG in December, by the way) I have to say that's the first time I've ever heard San Francisco described as "wonderfully warm". LOL. I can remember freezing MAO in the middle of summer as a kid.

Hi ! May I ask a simple question here ?? I use roller and your "sunset" theme. A couple of days ago I changed it a little. I wanted a black background. Easy to do, no problems. But now I have been searching for where to change background color in the comments section for days without finding it... Any advise would be really nice ! Regards

Ove - in comments.css, you can add a "background-color" rule to div.comment and div.comments-form. Using the Web Developer Extension for Firefox, I was able to verify this works on your site.
