JavaOne wrap-up
(I had intended to release this earlier, but after 4 full days of conferencing and partying, I just didn't have the energy and the concentration to finish it. But here it goes.) JavaOne is over. Five days of keynotes, sessions, exhibitions and ...

Oracle Appreciation Event with The Black Eyed Peas

Comments about JavaOne
Well, I was going to try and talk about every session that I've been to, and about many of the new and old frameworks that I've seen, but one of the downsides of having the sessions in multiple hotels is that you're basically running from one place to ...

JavaOne Day One: Stuck at the Airport
It is the first day of JavaOne, and I'm sure it is exciting from all the tweets and posts I've seen from other people. Unfortunately for me, my excitement comes in the fact that I have to wait more than 2 hours for my Continental flight, which has been ...

I'm going to JavaOne
I guess I should've probably said something before, but I'm actually going to be attending the JavaOne this year, thanks to Oracle. They were kind enough to give me a Blogger Conference Access pass which allows me to attend not only all the conferences at ...

To JavaOne or Not to JavaOne
Ever since I started using Java back in 1997, I've wanted to go to a JavaOne event but was unable to. The closest I've been to one was two years ago, when I just happened to be on the same city (San Francisco) on a business trip. But this year, even ...

Why not having Flash on the iPhone is a good thing
The other day I was trying to look at some site from my iphone but alas, the site was crawling with Flash embedded objects (from menu navigation to actual site content). At first I became frustrated that the iPhone didn't support Adobe Flash embedded ...

Switching to IDEA, another tale
And since we're talking about switching stuff, another thing that I recently changed is the IDE I'm using on a day by day basis. I have been a long time Eclipse user, and I still think it is a great IDE, specially for the price (you can't beat free, can ...

Resurrecting my blog
It's really been a long time since I've updated this site. I could make up excuses like too much work, too little time, or simply that I didn't think there was anything worth to say. Some of it may be true, but the important thing here is that what I ...

What "Open Source Java" (should) really mean
I just saw the live webcast for JavaOne's General Session on the future of Java, and I must say I'm a little saddened by it. I never thought I'd ever hear the words "Visual Basic for Java" mentioned anywhere, even less so in such an important ...
