Heading for Beantown
The
Tech Days tour kicks off next week in
Boston.
I'll be there, along with a pile of folks who actually know what they're taking about. We'll be spending a couple of days doing presentations on topics from the latest SE, EE & ME techniques, through desktop, SOA, web, scripting, NetBeans and a pile of other topics. There will also be sessions covering Solaris.

You forgot to mention what is undoubtedly the best part of your trip. And that old video a few entries down-your hair looked so much better.

The Java Development Track is hosting a talk on:
Consumer JRE: Java on Every Desktop OR Java Performance Myths
The Myth part, isn't that kind-a true?
Java APIs have really become bloated.
There are too many ways to do the same thing.
Isn't there any hope that things can be simplified?
K.I.S.S.

Any chance for Java in/on the coffemaker, or is it already there, and I just haven't seen one, coffemakers running java? :)

Nevermind. I found some, although, it doesn't seem like Sun(or anybody else) is pushing them. What gives? Java was supposed to be the language of tomorrow found on/in everything. the way I saw it in a dream was everything in a house with embedded Java, running/networked via an UltraSPARC running Solaris with a touch screen handheld controller for the "master"/ "mistress" of the house. Oh well, such are dreams, sometimes.
On a completely unrelated note, is Sun or you doing anything on the LHC(Large Hadron Collider) project of CERN's? I think it would be way cool, if Sun did get in on this(not just because they'll be producing real black holes, and ultra-weird things happen around black holes), but for strengthening the Java-Sun-CERN-WWW connection. Once upon a time, ya know...
