Hey, April 13th! Again! April 13th is E.C.'s from old Racine's bday. That was so ingrained that the day had ever-on resonance. And it was so that I was to be eventually aware of the date - that same date - when I left New York for Boston, just 31-years-ago now. With due respects for Ogden Nash...a birthday poem of the late 60s is in part recalled: "Birthday birthday you have come like a mad chrysanthemum telling me I've added one bring lots of naughty funnies ... and sister grinning through her teeth knows that it is april 13th."

Sonic has new JMS pack When the founders of Sonic Software Corp. got their hands on the Java Message Service (JMS) specification in 1999, they saw an opportunity to steal a march on new application server vendors that would sooner or later find a need for standard messaging middleware. Now, failover, mirroring and the like have been used in enterprises, but Sonic is claiming hot failover with stateful replication in 7 seconds to 15 seconds, without the need for unique hardware. “The classic approach is to use some combination of software and HA [high-availability] frameworks, with OS-level clustering and redundant disk arrays,” said Van Huizen. In the new Sonic scenario, real-time replication of data is provided between primary and secondary brokers over dedicated networks. -adtmag.com, Apr 13, 2004 Unrelated Crick on path of being - NYT, Apr 13, 2004 The EEG of the Eureka moment -EurekAlert.org, Apr 13, 2004 The EEG of the Eureka moment -PLoS Biology, April 13, 2004 9:25:43 PM    comment []
