I'm back in lovely Antwerp for Devoxx. The purgatory we're in over the situation with Oracle has it's pluses and minuses. On the plus side, I don't have to do a keynote.... Steve Harris from Oracle get's that job...
Put an accountant, a lawyer, an MBA and a software engineer together into a room... Sounds like the lead-in to a bad joke, but it's the exercise that the Java Store team has been living through for the past several months...

Blue Sky Studios , a film animation studio specializing in computer-generated imagery (CGI) needed to increase the performance of its digital frame-rendering software application to complete an upcoming ...
Yet Another Happy Birthday Intertubes!! Today marks 40 years of the internet, although there's some debate as to the actual date. I consider myself a latecomer: I didn't get my first real internet email address until 1977, C410JG40@CMUA...

It's decades late, but a lovely gesture none-the-less: Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister of Britain has formally apologized for the treatment of Alan Turning. It's hard to overstate his impact on the latter half of the 20th century, and the discipline of computer science in particular...
I don't know what it is about Apple and NFS, but they keep moving things around. The new UI to NFS mounting is much nicer than it was before, but it's now in a totally different place: the Disk Utility...
[cross-posted from the JVM summit mailing list] This is a reminder for the 2009 JVM Language Summit to be held at Sun's Santa Clara campus on September 16-18, 2009. Registration is now open for speaker submissions (presentations and workshops) and general attendance...
It's been a really weird summer, mostly in a good way. Easily the weirdest summer of my professional career. A lot of stuff has been going on, much of which would make good blog material, but none of it can be blogged about. The Oracle transition can't happen fast enough...

Dear Annie: My son is going to graduate from college in December with a B.S. in computer science, and I am just wondering about the IT job market. On the one hand, we keep hearing about layoffs and outsourcing, ...
