Sir James Gosling :-)
Our very own James Gosling, inventor of Java has been has been named an officer of the Order of Canada! I wonder if that means we have to call him Sir now? Well not according to Simon Phipps' Almost Sir James Gosling...
More info on this CBC article, which published a photo where jag seems to be wearing a T-shirt with the Hunter S. Thompson quote: When the going gets weird...
... the weird turn pro.
(which this video would tend to confirm.)
Congratulations!
Tim Bray, a fellow Canadian, writes how much he appreciates the fact that engineers are finally getting this level of recognition. I completely agree.Posted at 03:40PM Feb 22, 2007 [permalink/trackback] by Henry Story in Java | Comments[0]

Note on comments:
- I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
- Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
- HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
- If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.
