Hey, JBoss? Two words: duhhhhhhhh
JBoss as an app server is fine, but sometimes its proponents are clueless.
JBoss, you pointed out that most committers were customers first. Your users are naturally going to be the people who are most invested in your product, and are going to have the most expertise. They're the natural place to draw your committers from. This isn't worth pointing out. Saying it may make you look wise to some of the punters, but let's be honest: duhhhhhhh.
Facebook sucks.
I admit to being a member. I don't know why I'm one, though.
I can't stand Facebook - viral, idiotic applications with little quality control. I don't see how it stays online, or why.
Suuuuure, we'll get fooled again
Meet the new boss - same as the old boss.
The Democrats gained control of Congress through angst over the war in Iraq, and over the Republicans' retarded, ridiculous, stupid, egregious fiscal policy. That's great! -- Except that the Democrats are exactly the same. What we need is a third party, one that's actually distinguishable from the others.
Father's Day
Great. Another Father's Day. When will it end?
I hate holidays like this - my father is dead, as are my other paternal influences, and I'm not comfortable having to accept stuff like this.
Bayes for Java
Okay, fine, I'll write something about ci-bayes
I have a library for doing bayesian analysis, for Java, called ci-bayes. It's a working project, it's pretty fast, and I think it's better than the alternatives for Java.
Login walls blow - but not having them is even worse
They're designed to make sure you are who you are - and that's good.
On "jQuery Selector RefCardz," commenters are complaining about the registration, which prevents the use of spam-blocked or anonymous remailers. Cry me a river, folks.
Why aren't Equinox and TestNG in the main Maven repos?
Basic stuff: Maven transitive dependencies don't mean jack if they aren't in the main repositories. You can create them yourself, but let's be real: that should only be necessary for your modules.
Maven is easy; the maven infrastructure is not.
I am finally converting to Maven, but Maven doesn't seem to want me to.
Setting up Maven itself is easy; even using a new pom.xml is fairly easy when you've references handy. That said, Maven still needs a lot of custom infrastructure support, and that infrastructure isn't ready yet.
Hello again, hello.
I'm relaunching my blog, because I should.
This is my blog again - it's likely to change a bit as I restore the old entries and theme.
