My first full length piece - Reflections of a Virgin Blogger 2:35:32 PM  comment []      Wired on the new Apple XServe: Nifty Apple Server; Dull Launch. Apple shows off the Xserve -- its first new server in 15 years -- and in the process achieves another first: a boring Apple product launch. Leander Kahney reports from Cupertino, California. The management tools look excellent, even if the look of the machine itself isn't so inspiring. I still want one. [Wired News] 11:28:01 AM  comment []      The Community Review drafts of JSP 1.3 (JRA-152) and Servlet 2.4 (JSR-154) specifications are available. Also there's a new specification for Instant Messaging within Java which looks very interesting - JAIN Instant Messaging (JSR-187) "JAIN Instant Messaging is a protocol agnostic API for Instant Messaging. It provides a standard portable and secure interface to control, manage and manipulate instant messages between clients through the use of presence servers." I wonder what protocols it will support out of the box. 10:55:21 AM  comment []
