A Brand New World
It has taken a while but today we uncovered our new web site. It also sounded like the perfect opportunity to finally unveil my new blog.
I'll post about the technology behing it all very soon.
Happy Halloween!
On October 31, 1952 the U.S. detonated its first hydrogen bomb.
Getting Ready for XP
My friend, Gabe, is helping me choose the right components for a new PC workstation. Which is really good, because I haven't really kept up to speed.
I think I'll turn my current workstation into a secondary Linux box, running Red Hat 7.1.
Java 1.4
I've been playing with JDK 1.4 for most of the week. I did find a few AWT UI inconsistencies which we'll need to address, but other than that everything looks pretty good.
Borland C++
I needed to write a native Java application launcher for Windows (which turned out to be a pain) so I gave C++ Builder a try. I'd recommend the free edition to anybody who has a need for a good C/C++ compiler sans IDE.
I also grabbed a copy of JBuilder, but haven't had a chance to try it yet. In case you wondered, I primarily use jEdit and Jikes for Java development under Windows. I fire up NetBeans whenever I'm in need of creating complex UI elements.
I've been listening to this song a lot.
Only in California

Having a picture passed around on the internet that shows you duct-taped your boobs together: PRICELESS!!!
New Theme
I've changed my weblog theme. I wasn't really tired of the old one, but I goofed, so I decided to start fresh.
Digital fun with the family pets.
End Of The Line
Monday is our target day for the big announcement. Stay tuned.
