Hmmm... I guess I need categories now.... Hmmm... I guess now that I have my blog being aggregated by the amazing incredible Javablogs.com site, I need to do something about categories. I have definite themes that I talk (read: bitch) about including Java, Spain, Mobiles, Anti-M$ and Life in General...

I'll add that to my ongoing list of stuff I wish was done yesterday. ;-)

Javablogs seems to be having some troubles in Beta... it doesn't realize today's the 28th yet. ;-) No biggie, Mike and Owen will figure it out.

Am I the only one who thinks that Javablogs is going to have an impact on the Java community and maybe even the language itself as big as TheServerSide or JavaLobby? I think it's going to quickly become part of everyday conversation...

Add to my wishlist: Threading of Javablog posts on the same subject organized by date. This would take some work by the Javabloggers, but if we use the same standard as email, it could work. For example, if someone posts an interesting idea titled "New Java Framework" and you respond to it, pop an re: in front of it on your blog "RE: New java Framework" and then the guys at Javablogs.com can organize it accordingly. ;-)

This is exactly why I didn't want to develop the site. 1) I wouldn't have done as good a job as Mike and Owen and 2) I would go nuts thinking of new ideas and receiving ones from random punters like myself and not have time to implement them.

No more debug statements!. I just found a really cool feature in IDEA: if I set a breakpoint in the debugger I can change so that when it's hit I can print out the value of some variable, or any expression (and also doesn't stop the VM execution!). I can also add a conditional expression for when the breakpoint will apply in the first place. I've been playing around with this a bit, and AFAICT this covers pretty much all my debugging needs that I usually do with System.out.println (or log4j). NO MORE DEBUG STATEMENTS IN CODE!! Wohooo!! And since these can be added and modified at runtime it's very flexible.

I'm sure I'm the last one to find this and ya'll are thinking "oh, I know that". But to me this was a really nice thing to find :-) [Random thoughts]
