  1. @discredittech I think a small number of people were still using it for Java/COM integration.
  2. Heard on radio 4: building the Eurostar platforms at St Pancras required 15,000 graves to be exhumed and relocated.
  3. @sherod Totally agree, web apps should obviously be written in assembly
  4. @edyavno But the chances of being useful outside their original context are pretty slim, I imagine.
  5. @edyavno I suspect algo trading code walks out of banks on USB sticks all the time. The value of it is hugely overrated
  6. @mirkojahn BTW Eclipse-PlatformFilter prevents resolution, not installation. That would be the right thing for a more general filter too
  7. @mirkojahn What kind of properties are you thinking of, besides platform attributes?
  8. @hal_hildebrand NB it also relies on an Equinox extension "Eclipse-PlatformFilter" to ensure each fragment can only load on one OS
  9. @hal_hildebrand Don't know of any docs, just open up the SWT JARs in your Eclipse installation
  10. @hal_hildebrand In fact the base SWT bundle has no code in at all, only exports which are fulfilled by the fragments
  11. @hal_hildebrand No, it's fragments galore. Remember SWT has platform-specific Java code as well as platform-specific native code.
  12. @bunthidj Many standard Java techniques also do not work on appengine.
  13. @brindy Free beef!
  14. @sherod Not really, I use source control ;-)
  15. @peter_pilgrim Not sure about a user group but there's a Clojure workshop at London Geek Night on Monday http://bit.ly/16fVbs
  16. @DRMacIver Great. So, telnet to port 143 then?
  17. Was a fun experiment but have concluded that GMail Offline is crap as a primary mail client. Looking for something better (NOT Mail.app)
  18. @monkchips I hope all these low level technical details of OSGi service hooks are dorky enough for you.
  19. On my way to the UK OSGi users' forum meeting, with Peter Kriens.
  20. Awesome graffito, somebody wrote "Meester" in front of Morden on a Northern Line tube map #babylon5
