The BileBlogIf you have nothing bad to say, say nothingByebye- March 26, 2007 I've had enough of JRoller, you're only reading this because you're subscribed via RSS and are a lazy turd.

Of course, the talk is as fluffy and pointless as I had expected. I walked in late because the likelihood of anything vaguely interesting being said was fairly negligible. The one thing Eugene does excel at is name dropping. Whatever he did at walmart clearly involved next to no 'real' world, and a lot of musing and faffing about with whatever toys happened to catch his fancy. In many ways, it's.http://www.jroller.com/fate/entry/tssjs_i_ma_l33t_arkeetektor TSSJS: Advanced JPA- March 21, 2007 Sometimes I'm a bit of a glutton for punishment. You'd think that after attending so many conferences, seeing so many JPA drivel talks, I'd stop. Alas, I can't seem to help myself. and am dismayed to find myself sitting in Advanced Topics in JPA by Mark Richards.

Last year the question to inflict on poor unsuspecting victims was 'have you masturbated on a plane', which surprisingly 50% of people seem to have done. This year I'm hoping to get a good list going with 'what deviant sexual act would you pay $10 to see if it were socially acceptable'. The keynote in the...http://www.jroller.com/fate/entry/another_year_another_tssjs XML wiring is for girls- March 14, 2007 The fact that XML is, basically, a steaming pile of goatshit is not news. Many many people know this now, yet you have an awful number of people eager to grab a hold of some xml and perform deviant sexual activities in it, around it, and in between its elements. The problem is that there are some good ideas out there that happen to use xml. Even though xml has nothing to do with the quality of the idea, xml somehow gets credit. This has become quite apparent lately when participating in some..http://www.jroller.com/fate/entry/xml_wiring_is_for_girls |
