Open Source Liferay Enterprise Portal Available - the portal itself looks moderately interesting, but what tweaked my interest was seeing my own name as I scrolled through the comments. Looks like JoeO met this guy on IRC or something. This single thread of The ServerSide commenters manages to debate Struts vs WebWork, Christianity vs Open Source, Weblogic vs JBoss and Jahia vs WL Portal vs Jetspeed vs Liferay. This is all quite amusing to me. 12:56:49 PM  comment []      I just unsubscribed from Dave Whiner's insane rants, because of his complaint today that Scripting News wasn't the #1 result on Google for "weblogs" despite the fact it clearly should be. I'm feeling good about it - I now have only 99 other feeds to read. 12:41:20 PM  comment []      Charles has some good thoughts on why people pay $50,000 per processor. I totally agree with his documentation point, while the JBoss documentation is cheap - it would do much, much better to have it online and commentable like PHP docs. But the best point? Bundling! 12:35:57 PM  comment []      J2EE Container Shootout Summary - the chumps at The ServerSide are yabbering again. 12:33:24 PM  comment []      SQuirreL SQL Client 1.1rc1 released [JSurfer - riding the Java wave] 12:16:19 PM  comment []      Steal Your Interface: A History. Apple is credited with developing the graphical user interface, which Microsoft copied, but the contribution of users and small developers has been largerly overlooked. By Leander Kahney. [Wired News] So what they're saying is that Apple didn't innovate, but instead provided an environment for innovation. But now with OSX you can't innovate. Isn't that bad? 12:15:25 PM  comment []      Mobile phone Java risks 'minimal'. There's a relief [The Register] 12:12:49 PM  comment []      MS Reveals Big-Name Xbox Games - great! Plenty to keep me amused here when I finish Turok: Evolution. 11:57:05 AM  comment []      Another gem of a quote from IM-land: (don't worry - he doesn't work for us!) Q Who?: mate... i think we need to move the whole post-work drinks to pre-work drinks.. i cant handle this job without alcohol any more :) 11:05:35 AM  comment []
