Joel Spolsky recently made some comments about TripIt, which I immediately tested, and was blown away. This would have been infinitely useful during my past 2 years of globe-trotting. If you travel a lot (at all?) and are tired of making up stupid itineraries in Word or Notepad or whatever, then this web app is [...]
Michael Kölling has recently written a great article on thoughts surrounding what I would call ‘feature creep’ (aka bloat) in the Java language spec. I agree with a lot (all?) of what he has to say. And auto-boxing is evil.
I don’t have time to write a detailed review right now, but I just had to tell the world (AKA the 6 people that read this blog) – that FogBugz 6.0 kicks the ever-loving-crap out of JIRA. JIRA looks like a poorly made web-toy from 1997 compared to the responsive, rich, intuitive, friendly, and dare [...]
A new article I wrote recently has been published at last. Since even looking at JSF makes me want to die, I think this little AjaxTags is a nice Ajax library for those of you still using JSP. I’ve started on Wicket this week, which thus far is really impressing me. Sorry I haven’t been [...]
On my way to the airport in Calgary on Sunday, I drove past a billboard for Q9 Networks that said: Our data center client lists reads like a who’s who of Calgary businesses. Are you in it? Marketing like this has always bothered me. It makes me want to flip the bird in their general [...]

…arrrrr matey, taday ye’ll be feelin’ my blade! Arrrr! Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day!
TOAD connected to Oracle Enterprise installed on Windows XP which is a Virtual Machine in Parallels running on my MacBook Pro. Cygwin for OpenSSH in order to access a remote Oracle database behind a firewall through a port-forwarded SSH tunnel. Sheesh. Oracle. Pain.
One thing that I love about Seth Godin is his unceasing efforts in trying to make companies see that they need to treat their customers with respect. This is made evident again in a great little piece he wrote about Apple’s $200 iPhone price drop that the mediawenttotown on. He talks about a bunch of [...]
