  1. Consensus seems to that this is the last JavaOne. Well, ok, consensus of me and Toby.
  2. JSF 2.0 is surprisingly good. I think heck froze over.
  3. EJB 3.1 has some nice features. It'll catch up with spring 1.0 in just a couple more years!
  4. EJB 3.1 will expose public methods on a "simple bean" without requiring an interface. This is a leading feature that took years to dev?
  5. In desperate bid to save $, re-plumbed sink myself. This led to much heartache but resulted in Plumbing Powers.
  6. @eghm I think an off-color joke about BART tazing pales in comparison to, you know, actually executing passengers.
  7. Bart once again failing badly. Endless delays in sardine coditions. Thanks for yet another crappy commute @Bart. Don't taze me bro.
  8. Macbook repaired (motherboard)! Yay! But Apple's repair site never made it past "step 1", I had no idea when machine would come. Apple FTL.
  9. Had a family brunch at Lois the Pie Queen. It was fam-tastic!
  10. That's my 3rd Macbook wipeout in 3 years. Apple FTL.
  11. Macbook Pro motherboard fried. 17 high-def inches of dead computer. It's off to Texas for repair. :(
  12. You can now write Google App Engine apps in Groovy! No grails yet, but still a big win. Brief tutorial: http://tinyurl.com/dx5aol
  13. FYI, William Shatner's The Transformed Man is on sale today (only) at Amazon for $.99. http://snurl.com/34x4m
  14. New SUV rollover safety ratings show most have cave-in roofs. Only 4 have good rating: Tiguan, Forester, Element, and Patriot. Scary.
  15. *Another* 30+ minute delay on BART today. Executing passengers, crashing trains together, and daily delays: BART is in FAIL this year.
  16. @mkb I use iStat menus for local monitoring: cpu load, temp, & network utilization. Strip out labels, shrink graph width. Zero clutter.
  17. I use iState menus to monitor my Macs. You should too! And, it's free. http://www.islayer.com/apps...
  18. Happy 69th birthday to George A. Romero!
  19. @twitternebbish @mkb thanks for clarifying. Pierce points out that there's a long sordid history of maple / meat combos, but this is 2 much.
  20. Starbucks has a Maple Sausage Scone. Is that normal meat-eater fare?
