Happy Friday Everybody!
Countdown: 73 days to JavaOne.
In celebration (and anticipation) it's my great pleasure to announce all-time highest volume give-away in MaryMaryQuiteContary history!

receive either
1. A Java pin (it was all the rage in Olympic village)
or
2. A Duke ornament (to put a little jingle in your bells)
You get what you get and you don't get upset. Chair is not included. It's being used for display (and brand placement) purposes only.
A very select random* few will get both.
(!!!!!!!)
Post a comment to this blog entry telling me you want in on the free stuff and it's yours.
It's truly free. I pay for shipping with stamps that I buy at the post office.
(No promises on how long it will take me to actually make it to the post office, as previous Free Stuff winners can attest to.)
To improve your chances of being randomly* selected, tell me what you'd like to see more of at JavaOne this year. I'm going to a core team meeting Monday and I can pass the good word.
Keep it clean, people. This is a family rated program.
Bon weekend!!

I would love to see myself at JavaOne, but it just ain't going to happen. But then, my current idea of a good thing in Java is Solaris-specific JNI code :-)
(I prefer the pin, but won't get at all upset!)

What would I like to see at JavaOne? How about a MaryMary BOF? (I know. I'm also a blatant suck-up.)
Actually, my main interest is in J2EE technology and the relationship between Java and Open Source. Of course, since this will be my first JavaOne, I'll probably be spending a lot of time walking around with my mouth open and my eyes bugging out of my head looking like a kid in a toy store in December. Complete with goofy "this is way cool" smile, I'm sure.
73... 72... 71...

the sad teen. Everything in life is f*ckin'
miserable. You constantly look over your
shoulder and wonder who is judging you...even
when you are alone. So naturally, you have
become a little paranoid and pessamistic. Your
personality can be one demensional but
confusing. You are constantly bored with life
and wish that something could spice it up. You
have a unique view on life and have identified
the problems with school society (Ex...what
makes popular people, how the student mind
works...) You would rather be alone because you
hate being hurt. You tend to think that no one
understands you, not even your parents /
guardians / friends. But that is just the
opposite! The people who love you want to
help, but they don't know how because they have
a feeling that they will say something wrong
and turn you away. You have to let them know
that you are willing to hear what they have to
say...and it might do some good to listen to
them.
Some fields you might consider going
in when you are older...Judge, author,
songwriter, producer, therapist, psychologist,
philosopher, or forensic scientist. You need a
job where you can express yourself and your
views on life. Or you need a field where you
can judge others and predict what is going on
in others life. Either way... you have the
personality to get you a good job that will
support you throughout life.

You are the Spirit of Innocence. Always with the
sweet smile of a child, you know how to have
good clean fun, you have a natural vunerability
about you, which makes you able to make friends
very well, as they are drawn instinctively by
the urge to protect you. But even though you
look as fragile as a child inside you are very
strong with your easy look on life. When you
get a partner (because there is no way you
cant!) your life will be perfect.

What would I like to see more of at JavaOne? Hmmm .... I'd like to see coverage, no matter how insignificant, of the new Java Core Processor. (http://www.jopdesign.com/) Very experimental, this isn't even bleeding edge, it's full on amputation. (Plans to build your own breadboard included)
Java is designed (as we all know) to write once run anywhere, but there was this idea a while ago about what it would take to embed the JVM into hardware, and cut out all middle management and just let the software do it's job. Someone else actually has put something together for a college thesis, and it's very interesting. Take a look.
