I had grand aspirations to play ultimate five consecutive days last week. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday were to be regularly scheduled Burlington lunchtime pickup, and Tuesday, Thursday evenings were to be BUDA summer league games. That plan was derailed when I suffered a quadriceps contusion during Tuesday night’s game from an in-game collision. [...]

Hello Project Darkstar! in Netbeans and Eclipse
With Project Darkstar’s new distribution structure (introduced in version 0.9.8 and explained here), people ask from time to time what the best way is to setup a project in Netbeans or Eclipse. I think the typical answer that you see the most fits the acronym “TMTOWTDI” (There’s More Than One Way To Do It). [...]
JavaOne: Signing Off
I just went to two more sessions here on the last day at JavaOne and they were actually both quite good. The first was given by William Pugh who is one of the creators of the FindBugs static analysis tool. We use FindBugs extensively in our build process with Project Darkstar and it [...]

If you don’t know what a Sun Ray is, it’s essentially a stateless thin client that, when I stick my JavaOne badge into, will pull up a virtual desktop associated with my JavaOne id [...]

I’m back for another recap, this time of day two at JavaOne. I managed to get up early again this morning and attend the morning keynote. To be honest, it was a bit of a yawn today. It was basically a marketing pitch for Sony Ericsson’s platform and how they are making [...]
JavaOne: Day 1
Whew. Technically it’s still only day one of the JavaOne conference and I already feel like I’ve put in a week’s worth of energy. I just returned from running the Project Snowman hands-on lab this afternoon. It was moderately successful with a few painful and time consuming hiccups – more on that [...]
CommunityOne
Getting to JavaOne early to test out the snowman lab actually gave me a chance to attend some of the sessions and events going on today at CommunityOne. This is a free conference that is geared towards users and developers of open source technologies and software. Here’s a rundown of what I did/saw:
