Students are always welcome in Standford University Network
|
Sun
|
Have you know that SUN's name comes from Stanford University Network. That's not the only reason why SUN launched new start point for students all over the world. Mainly for students that are interested in java, opensource, technologies and Sun's product, of course.
As I would say if I would be a marketing guy  "Student Central: Sun now has a place for every student to begin when they come to sun.com! Looking for technology? No problem. Searching for a job? We gotcha covered. Trying to find some classes? We've got that, too. Not sure where you want to go or what Sun has to offer you as a student? Come find out!
This is the perfect starting point to find out just what Sun, as a company, has to offer students today. Covering everything from technology to Eco-responsibility, jobs to social media, this is the first student page that tells the Sun story from a student perspective. Come by and check it out, but be sure to come back as this page will evolve along with Sun's student offerings!"
And have you seen the It Guy? There are more funny videos linked from the students page. However this page is serious it should point you to all the things (including intern job offers) that might interest a student. And if it doesn't? Give them a feedback.

[javazone] [Day 2] I like it here
|
MobilityPack
|
It is a week after the JavaZone conference however I decided to fill up the story with blog post about the last day of the conference.
I saw only a few presentation this time. Because I spent most of the time in the speakers room preparing for the presentation on Wednesday. And we were supposed to leave Oslo on Thursday afternoon. What a short trip.
We visited guys from mBricks at their booth. We had a discussion with them after our BOF yesterday. And I hope that the discussions with Karol will help them and NetBeans to enhance our portfolio. Their solution for Java ME development makes the live of Java ME developer easier. You don't have to care about the device fragmentation anymore. However it requires lot of testing and fixes on the mBricks side.
I have to say that I liked the Oslo and the JavaZone. The conference was really nice and well organized. I haven't seen too much from the city but I can imagine that I could stay here for a while. And all the companies at the booths were hiring. Maybe it is time to move to north Sometimes the partners area looks more as gathering of headhunters than a conference...

Proč jsem propásl CZJUG Září
|
In Czech
|
Odpověď je snadná. Mám službu a hlídám syna. On si sice klidně spí, ale samotného ho tu samozřejmě nechat nemůžeme. Žena se totiž rozhodla, že bude chodit do Toastmasters klubu, který bohužel vyšel na dnešní pondělí. A já neměl to srdce ji to zamítnout. Je to její první návštěva, tak snad se jí tam bude líbit.
Ale dost mě mrzí, že se to takto sešlo. Už delší dobu jsem neslyšel Jardu Tulacha přednášet. A dnes to bude nejméně dvakrát lepší než jindy, protože
- Jarda zrovna vydal novou knihu a bude nabuzen sdílet z ní informace, aby vás navnadil si ji koupit
- soutěž jako APIFEST je zábava
Takže doufam, že snad příště to vyjde. Teda určitě to vyjde. Na jOpenspace se na mě všichni koukali jako na blázna, když jsem přiznal, že jsem ještě nenavštívil ani jeden CZJUG. A já slibil, že přijdu. Jedním z argumentů, který mě zcela přesvědčil je "po CZJUGu se chodi vždy do hospody. Je totiž potřeba podrobně probrat načrtnutá témata". Kdybych si jen pamatoval kdo to řekl...
PS: a pokud někdo namítne, že hlídat mohla paní na hlídání (aka au pair), tak má pravdu. Ale zatím žádnou nemáme. Doporučení a tipy vítány

[javazone] [Day 1] Presentation is over
|
NetBeans
|
Today it was really hard day for me. Day full of activities and informations. I knew that it will be hard when Karol's phone woke me up in the morning after the speakers party. I would rather sleep then run to the start of the presentations
However I spent almost whole day in speakers lounge because we were finalizing the presentation for our talk in evening. So, the only presentation that I've seen was "Project Hydrazine". The talk was fine but I missed a demo. And I have to say that I really liked following thing here at JavaZone. There are the lab rooms where you can watch the presentations. But if the room is crowded that they won't let you in. Then you can pick up headset, sit in the expo area and watch huge screens under the roof. Pretty useful.
We worked on the presentation at afternoon because we wanted to show as much as we could about NetBeans Mobility and Java ME. We had Java ME Platform SDK. Pre-EA version. EA will be available soon. But it didn't worked on my XP. Fortunately it worked on Karol's computer therefore we moved all the projects and presentations to one computer.
The presentation's start time was at 19:45. All the parties started at 19:00 therefore we really scared if anybody will show up. Even 5 minut before the start there was only one guy in audience. Before he left with the NetBeans t-shirt the rest of the people appeared. At the end it was nice BOF with lot of question and answers (I hope). All the questions that were not covered during the presentation time were answered in the pub later.
Look what we met on the way back to hotel. A tower in tie.
Note to myself: multiple source roots in mobility project, device DB, lwuit, mbrick

[javazone] Speakers party ad Oslo
|
NetBeans
|
I arrived to Oslo today to the JavaZone conference that starts tomorrow. I felt little big jet-legged but I still haven't got how I could get jet-leg after two hours flight.
We had a few hours in afternoon to walk in the city with Karol. The most painful task was to find out an ATM that accepts American Express cards...
At evening we moved to speakers party where we met lot of people. Actually, not people but speakers. Some of them I know from other events, some other are new to me. Nice to meet you.

Why I cannot listen to NB podcast?
|
NetBeans
|
Picture is worth of thousand words.
I cannot listen to the NetBeans podcast because I don't want to wait more then 4 hours before it downloads. Yes, it is time to change the internet provider. And replace the old CDMA modem with something better and faster.
I was interviewed for this podcast by Geertjan and Lloyd three times. Two times the records were unusable because of the quality of the record. That's interesting sentence - quality of record about NetBeans quality wasn't good enough. But the third time we succeed. At least I hope because I cannot listen to it

Stolen RED BULL
|
Personal
|
Once upon a time there was a fridge. It was used to store things by employees of unnamed company that I work for. Inside the fridge was a red bull can but one day the can disappeared. You can say who cares, of course. But there was somebody who cared - the red bull owner. He was looking for it everywhere. Unsuccessfully. At the end he sticked a sign to the fridge asking the somebody who "lent" to return it. Nobody did.
We were very sad about it. We wanted to help the poor unhappy college. And we started gathering a money for new Red Bull can. After a few days we had enough money for new can. Actually, we had enough for two cans. So, I bought them. You can see on the picture how the red bull cans returned to the owner. Can you see the happy smile on the face of the sitting guy?
That was just a short story about the company culture in SUN office in Prague. Ehm, I mean the gathering not the stealing

M3DD calls for papers
|
NetBeans
|
M3DD means Mobile, Media, and Embedded Developer Days 2008. And there is Call for Papers again on Roger's blog. The last (and first as well) conference was in January this year. Therefore it cannot be annual anymore
I missed the first M3DD and I regret it. They even accepted my paper but there weren't a money for my trip to US. I do expect the same this time and I do not work on NetBeans Mobility anymore. Therefore it seems to me that I'll leave more space for the submissions of others. Less work for the committee.
For those who are interested in Java ME development and bleeding edge technologies this is the right place to talk at or to attend.
