had this little dialog the other day ...

[polrtex@04:20:26]would you mind sharing why you think jxta rocks ? I mean.. it's one thing to read the docs on the website.. another is to hear it from someone directly ?

dialog. do it!

i'm giving a myjxta presentation at penlug this evening. i'm pretty happy w/ the doc, especially since i hacked on it late this evening. myjxta has needed a doc like this for quite awhile now given the interest. it certainly is much easier to point to a doc then it is to wave one's arms about in the air. we're working to add uml docs to the portfolio as well. that i am really looking forward to reviewing. it will be quite refreshing to view the code top-down for a change. one hold up is finding a slick uml generator that can prodce legible diags on a frequent (ie nightly) basis in an automated fashion. any ideas?

this so rocks. so unscripted. so organic. so ... real:

[jaimec@04:51:28]Yes, as a Sun reseller, I get tons of information about the things I implement and sell in Blogs.sun.com
[jaimec@04:51:59]It's actually my primary reason for using MyJXTA. I think Some day this will be a profitable sale.

may the dialog deepen.

for the source. by the source. use the source.

with the help of the most excellent webstart crew we fixed a problem where by some clients would not pull all the jars resulting in a "class not found" exception. with this one in the bag we should go back over our jnlp files to further refine and normalized the data knowing what we learned. and what did we learn ... that the package element can effectively filter out jars from the hosting runtime. this was the case for a jar that was actually hosted in another jnlp that was referenced as an extension.

if you'd like to test out the latest work and provide your feedback, good, bad or ugly, feel free to try the use it link below. fasten seat belts and have some fun.

as i said, i should spend some time and tighten up the jnlp call stack. one down and one fewer remain. onwards and upwards.

i'm in the queue to provide a myjxta presenation for the upcoming PenLUG next week. it should be fun. i'm hoping for open net access so as to provide a realtime demo. further, if the participants have net access and join in on the demo at real time that would rock. not sure wireless is available though. Simon is in town and will likely attend as well.

thx to john o'conner's excellent how to localize myjxta recipe and a number of community contributions like that of janos cserep we now have 6 languages covered:

• en - English
• ar - Arabic
• es - Spanish
• hu - Hungarian
• pt - Portuguese
• zh - Chinese

now, just few more to go. little help?

trey is growing up. too fast if you ask me. our mission, to land the lad in a nice school that doesn't break the bank.

tonight we attended the village school open house. we were very impressed. for grades k-5 there are only 150 students in the school. the environment felt quite comfortable and very hands on. i believe they plan to grow to 170 students this fall.

parents are required to commit to 3h/w as staff. this, by definition and design, injects a tremendous amount of diversity into the program. net effect, a mico-community. they appear to manage supplies well (which is critical) and further go out of their way to not force upon the familys and kids to raise money by going door-to-door, etc but instead organizing family events. fun and for a good cause. camping events. stuff like that. feels right.

katie middlebrook, principal, is very cool.

i hope everything works out for trey's enrollment. this fall looks to be shaping up to be alot of fun.

a handful of my citizen blog peers have added swag "chat" links to thier sites:

• Chat with Alan
• Clingan Zone
• Jim's Chat
• GonzoLand

i truly appreciate folks kicking these ideas around. great dialog. great ideas. all grounded in very real world activities. just the way it should be. make it real!

further, when i have run into a brick wall, for various reasons, i tend to turn more often or not to those that post here at blogs.sun.com. to a certain degree, i know these folks although i have never met most and have more often then not never corresponded with most other then via the occassional email and now myjxta where the dialog seemlessly continues. such is the case with a troubling issue i have been dealing with over the last couple of days. my blogs.sun.com compadres are tremendously reliable. the communications, engineer-to-engineer, are just about as free flowing as it could ever be. it feels like old school sun. a prevailing attitude of "why not" vs "why." stuff like that of which nothing but gooodness emerges. personally, i would have it no other way. good times.

matthew schmidt has great things to say regarding jxta and myjxta:

So, take a few minutes, check out the JXTA website and try out MyJXTA2, a webstartable application that lets you chat and share files with other JXTA users. It has the potential to be seriously useful technology.

very cool! join the revolution!

hmmmmm ... collaborative commerce. interesting. artists pen a design. submit it for "am i hot" like review. folks can comment against the shirt. dialogs ensue and ... tada ... anyone can order popular shirts. commerce for the people, by the people!

i liked dcb's x10 entry ... so much so i brought to dcb's attention the most excellent jacknet project. jxta over x10, mmmmmm tasty.

why not go a step further and provide a jacknet command and control plugin to myjxta ... as tkosan (jacknet author) and i have discussed in the past?

rock on!
