Brett doesn't want to grow up :-)


Cedric tells us to grow up 

Code conventions (4).

Be conservative when you write and open-minded when you read.

[Otaku, Cedric's weblog]

Cedric arguments about code conventions with Russ. Or better should I say: Russ starts an argument about Cedric's previous post about code conventions.

I like Cedric's attitude and conclusion.

[Patrick Chanezon's Radio Weblog]

But that would mean I'd have to grow up, and stop being such a unprofessional git. Feh. It'll never happen.

[Brett Morgan's Insanity Weblog Zilla]

You'd be surprised at how fast it can happen to you :-)
Having kids helps. working far from Silicon Valley can help as well.
That said my best friend who's a banker recently made fun of me for still listening to AC/DC when coding. How can I explain him that Stockhausen's fine for design, but AC/DC's best for debugging ?

I'm 34 already, but still have room to grow !

That said you can take a less passionate view on certain aspects of software design without necessarily losing this childlike capacity to get excited and full of wonder at what we can make these machines do.

JavaBlogs is Mavenised btw


JavaBlogs is Mavenised btw.

I forgot to mention, javablogs.com is now completely built, tested and deployed with Maven!

Congrats to the Maven guys on producing a kickass piece of software, that's only going to improve with age.

(Oh - and if you want to peddle your Maven or javablogs suggestions, try #maven on irc.werken.com)

[rebelutionary]

Maven continues to spread.

Pattern testing with aspects


Pattern testing with aspects.

I've just stumbled on a new project called Pattern Testing that looks interesting, particularly as its being packaged up as a Maven plugin.

I remember Vincent telling me about it over lunch a few months ago. Vincent is one of the main developers behind it and he's also an active Jakarta committer and one of the main guys behind Cactus as well as being a committer on Maven and Struts.

Mac or Windows?


Mac or Windows?. I ponder my choices when it comes to buying a new computer. [Meerkat: An Open Wire Service]

Many tech blogs gave me a mac envy in these recent months. This month I must buy a new laptop, so does my wife, and we want to buy a new desktop for home.

I begun to do more serious research and requirement gathering and I think we'll stay on wintel based machines. Apple machines are slick and nice, but we need many software and hardware extensibility: the closed proprietary Mac is not going to statisfy this requirement.

Comment enabled weblog is vastly underrated agent for engineering social awareness


Just do it.

...

As Shelley points out, this is beyond the means and abilities of many.  More importantly however, she demonstrates that a comment enabled weblog is vastly underrated agent for engineering social awareness... a precursor to social change.

Compile your old TRS-80 Model 1 BASIC programs for the JVM :-)


Languages for the JVM.

[bayard] responded in one of my comments sections with a great list of  Languages for the Java VM which includes over 160 entries. Some fascinating projects on the list. I never knew so many languages run on top of the JVM.

[James Strachan's Radio Weblog]

There's even a TRS-80 Model 1 BASIC Interpreter ! Going back to my childhood :-)

Sun allows JBoss to be J2EE 1.4 certified !


JBoss Soon to be J2EE 1.4 Certified?. According to The Register JBoss has completed J2EE 1.4 support and could become the first appserver to be J2EE 1.4 certified. JBoss will not be a complete implementation of J2EE 1.4, though. The article quotes Marc Fleury saying that APIs for Web services were excluded because of a lack of demand. The APIs will be included should that change, he said.

From The Register's article

JBoss received the green light last week, after Sun told ComputerWire that it would allow all of the APIs contained in J2EE 1.4 to be open sourced. Fleury had expressed concern that certain critical APIs, including Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) 2.1, would be not be made available to open source organizations

[TheServerSide.Com: Your J2EE Community]

This is an excellent news !

I'm glad Sun finally opened up the J2EE APIs. JBoss will now receive the recognition it deserves.
