Had impromptu lunch with Jim Inscore today. You folks following the schedule closely will note that it was not scheduled.
We were going to go for sushi, but that sushi place over here on 4th is no more -- it's Indian now. So we opted for Thai.
In addition to fabulous conversation, I got the following scoops from Jim, who's the man behind Sun Java Studio Creator (which you'll recall is my personal ticket to becoming a Java Developer and Chief Architect Robert (I get to call him Bob) Brewin is a personal techno celeb friend of mine. (not to name drop all the time)... Anyway... scoop from Inscore...

2. Even hotter than that (if you can even imagine) is there's an incredible special going on at JavaOne... You get Sun Java Studio Creator, the book Sun Java Studio Creator Field Guide
