Why ROLLER can not help us save the words we typed, even if session is shut down? I write so much words, currently, I have to type them again!!!!!

 I made the decision today. I'll help Ilya(a CA in Russia) to COLLABRATION in his Demo session. Because of EARTH, I have to stay up to 2:00 am in this weekend. It's hard but it's interesting. If I can help him be perfect, I'll be happy. hehe BTW, COLLABARAION plug-in is great thing. You can let your teammates write the same code, debug the same code together, no matter where they are. How a cool thing!!!

My presentation is near. I'll finalize booking reservation service tomorrow. I've already discussed it with Manager in Sodexo, so it is going to book it, pay the fee, and get the receipt. $100!! PIZZA,POPS,MAFFIN???? Wanda, I hope I can let my budget be runned out. hahah

I finished Demo for the second presentation. It is a context awareness demo system. I'll describe it later.

OH, I should email Haley to check where my packege is currently? I hope the souvinors can arrive at me on time

 

It was a long weekend! I took a party in Nov 11,2007, xs It is four 1 in total, we called that day as single day. Met some great guys and made an advertisement by the way.

The number of people who registered this event promotes a lot today. I don't why. Whatever, It is a good news for me. I am not afraid of audience, I am afraid short of audience. To my surprise, there are more and more engineers from City of Lethbridge plan to come to my presentation. HAHA, it is really community event!!

Demo practices should already be perfect.  In the next days, I'll finish my slide. Based on the template from EduCommon, the slide will finished quickly I hope.

The posters have been put up!! 18 pages cost $28.8, ($1.5/page). Good! If you did not print your poster, you can not feel its beauty and excitement. Thanks Jannifer, it looks really good. This item is under the budget.... :) I leaved 3 pages, which will be put up on the door of presentation's classroom.

Somebody needs my advice. I think something I have done should be a little hint to my colleagues latter, so paste them here.[Read More]

Today, I try the demo of Http Connection on Mobile application. I used Glassfish as the application server, actually I just used part of it, web container. It's cool of glassfish. Comparing with WebSphere (because I have several years' experience on it), Glassfish seems to provide users same functions with WebSphere, of course from the perspective of web server AS I know. If you don't wanna pay for a expensive enterprise application server, maybe you can choose Glassfish.

The http Demo is plan to be demonstrated in the second presentation, 4 days after the first one.

BTW, I got into the classroom where I will make the presentation stealthily, and try the projector and audio device. The projector is ok, although the screen solution has little difference between my laptop and projector.  I can not find the controller of audio device,  but I have time to check with Information Technology. It's good.

Fine. Sleep.
 

Finished Demo Today. I think I'll try to let it done again,
meanwhile, the presentation should be paid attention. I got a guide for
presentation, which shoul be useful for me.

Nov 3, 2007

It's Saturday today, so I have time to go deeply
through Demos. Although the demo is easy for me, coz "Hello World!"
seems boring to every programmer. Don't you disgust it? I made the
feeling that all programming languages' studying is started from "Hello
World!".

Nov 2, 2007  I got the poster (pdf version) from  Jennifer today,  the preparation for the first presentation has been driven into 3 days. On Nov 1 when I got the answer for my report of my presentation plan for the next month, from Wanda,  something jumped from my head. Yes, I wanna write down the whole process of my presentation, from preparation to operation to reporting. It is meaning for me, and also supposed to share the experiences with other ambassador. From now on, there will be 2 whole weeks, 14 days to made the preparation. It's not long but it's enough. Oh, My first presentation will be held on Nov. 20th, 2007 4:00 pm, it is about Netbeans & Java ME. As I talked with Angela before, the first presentation was decided on the day when Angela travels to our university. I booked a classroom with the capacity of 40 people firstly. On Nov 1,2007, I met with Chair on Information System and talked with him about the event and Lethbridge Sun Tech User Group, and then asked him to help me distribute the news to his students. He is so nice to agree with me. That's it! I got another group of students who are interested in Sun Tech. I had talked with our Chair and Faculties in Department of Computer Science, they give me pretty much support. Currently the members in LSTUG are mainly the students in our department. I have to let most students know this event.  Today, I got the poster. Then I found the printing center in my university. I checked the price with them. The normal poster with color is $1.5 /p, and the B/W poster with letter size is $0.1/p. The 40"*60" poster will cost too much money, I decide to give up this idea. I also throw the idea that publishing advertisement on newspaper, because it is far beyond my budget. I check with Wanda, the budget is not the "dreaming".  :) I send the email to 3 group, because I hope my advertisement strategy has some layers. It's the first layer, and we have some time. It's no rush. I went through Technology Demo for a little while, it is what I always did, so I am not afraid of it. Tomorrow I will pay attention to modify SLIDE and practice Demo. Advertisement, it should be waiting till next monday. Tomorrow I also have to hand in the TimeSheet and Standard Month Report. I just got notice the email. Ok, let this series story to be named as Road to Netbeans :)

Keynote Jeet Kaul on NetBeans vs. Eclipse: Tech Days Shanghai

I got to sneak in on a press conference with the Shanghai news media who were interviewing China Country Manager Paul Li (Director, Marketing of Sun Microsystems Greater China) and Jeet Kaul (Vice President of Developer Products and Programs) after Jeet's keynote today. One of the most interesting topics is always that one pesky NetBeans vs Eclipse question. Here's Jeet's reply when asked about the advantages of NetBeans over Eclipse, and his thoughts on the competitive arena. I'll encapsulate his responses here:

Competition by nature makes everything better. For example, what if you had to choose to buy a car from only one manufacturer?

We're happy that Eclipse exists. Because of Eclipse, NetBeans is a better IDE. We care about Java a lot and Eclipse is a great thing. And though we're not a member of the Eclipse community, we do work in Eclipse.

The focus of NetBeans is very different than Eclipse. Eclipse and NetBeans are both platforms and you can build the IDE of your choice on both platforms. (Here's the media player that was built on the NetBeans platform.)

Eclipse focuses on platform. They want more people building on it. NetBeans focuses on building an IDE with features, runtime integration, and getting the developers job done faster.

When the Java EE 5 release happened, there was full support for it in NetBeans. There's still no Java EE 5 support in Eclipse.

NetBeans has full support for Java SE 5. Eclipse doesn't have support for Java SE 5 features like generics.

Our focus is developer innovation, not just languages. With Ruby, you get Rails for example. NetBeans is the best IDE on the market for that. (See a screencast introducing Ruby on Rails with NetBeans.

We do language like PHP, JavaScript, Ruby, and the community supports Python, Basic, C++...

We built a visual editor for Swing in NetBeans, the Eclipse community moved it over and are selling it. We're actually happy about this.

After trying for one day, Solaris 10  is running on my IBM computer. It looks pretty cool. I use JAVA desktop instead of CDE, which is fit for window tradition. The normal procedure is described as below:[Read More]

When you experienced installing Solaris 10 on X86 Systems, you have to consider how to allocate your disk space for filesystems. A Step by Step Guide to Installing Solaris 10 (by Dennis Clarke) try to explain it for every beginner. Currently my computer is running the installation, and I could not wait for pasting this guide for you.[Read More]

LSTUG is set up, anyway. Thanks for Steve(our Chair), thanks for Trent and Wendy(Faculty Representative),  thanks for Jeremy(your system administration experiences give me so much hint). Thanks Laurie, without you, I can not let everybody know this good news.

Come on! Join Us.
