Say what? Indeed Say What? Hmm, misread Brett Morgan's latest entry. Cracking Contraceptives doesn't sound like a good idea to me. [Vanity Foul] I wonder if condoms are a shared secret cipher system? 9:38:26 AM

Portable, low power, high resolution Java Developer? Buy this book!. Yesterday was a good day - I woke up at 4, finished the features and bug fixes for the 1.0.2 release of my project, deployed it, and headed to the library. I was at the library from 8 until 2:30, finishing off Java Development with Ant. I really can't say enough about this book - it's a must-have for anyone who develops in Java. As I told my wife, it's the best technology book I've ever read. It's got tons of great stuff on testing (JUnit, HttpUnit, Canoo WebTest, Cactus), deployment (to Tomcat, to WebLogic) and a very good chapter on XDoclet. The best part is that it's got tons of examples that you can use immediately if you're already using Ant. You might even be able to download them and copy/paste. I also found you can get it at half-price as an eBook ($22.47, PDF). I think it's a great resource as a reference manual, and you probably don't even have to read the whole thing like I did. [We Build Web Apps] I was wondering which ant book to buy. Oh, and yes, I still buy books. They are easier to read on the train. 9:30:15 AM

Eclectic CS Student on the loose Why yes, I did one just last week.... Deriving backtracking monad transformers. [Lambda the Ultimate] Am I alone in thinking 'Huh?' [Pushing the envelope] No, i suspect you will find in a qualitive study that I am alone in thinking "Oh, how cool...". :-) 9:28:54 AM

Feh II Where the hell is the RSS feed?. Aslak: I have moved my blog: http://rinkrank.blog-city.com/ Brett: And where the hell is the RSS feed? Good question. It appears that blog-city does not support RSS. I think Aslak is just afraid of having a blog that is powered by Java and XDoclet ;-) [Blogging Roller] And he trusts one running on cold fusion? Burn him at the stake! :-) 9:09:27 AM
