The back-to-work blahs

Last week I had a really good time at the MySQL Conference. I hung out with some extremely smart folks and learned a lot about various things, such as the Dvorak Keyboard Layout, why James Duncan Davidson hates Ant and why we have Session and Entity Beans (two companies couldn't agree). I spent way too much time working on AppFuse and trying to get the 1.8 release out (it's close, hopefully this week). I also did a 1/2 day seminar on Spring, AppFuse and Comparing Web Frameworks for a company in San Francisco - which was fun.

All of this techno-fun was quickly forgotten when Julie flew in on Friday and we headed down to Cambria, CA for a fun weekend of wine-tasting. Now I'm back at work with many-a-deadline and 81 starred messages in my GMail account. Last week, I realized that doing the open-source and Spring Live stuff is easily a full-time job. The best solution I can think of at the moment is to View Starred Messages » Select All » Delete, followed by ignoring all the e-mails I receive for the rest of the week. I'll try not to do this, but it sure is tempting. ;-)

Someone asked me last week how I manage my time effectively and get everything done. The truth is I don't. I simply stay up late, sleep little, or steal weekends away from my family. Tonight, I expect to spend 4+ hours answering e-mail and doing edits for Spring Live. Hopefully I can catch up and get AppFuse 1.8 released before my parents show up on Thursday night.

Couldn't resist to try on AppFuse 1.8 rc1. I must say that I'm pretty impressed with the notable performance boost including ant tasks. What's the secret behind it? Any chance for a quick tutorial on Hibernate + Tapestry action form on AppFuse?

Before you buy into the Dvorak keyboard, you might want to check out this analysis of the Dvorak argument at Reason magazine: http://reason.com/9606/Fe.QWERTY.shtml

Matt - thanks for making mention of Dvorak. I've typed on this layout for years, and it always sparks interesting discussion when it's brought up :-) Dave F. - Interesting article you pointed out at reason.com. I've just posted a response to it (as well as other thoughts about learning and using Dvorak) here: http://chrisbeams.com/blog/archives/2005/04/historyofdvorak.html
