Mostly about java / open source / apache."Leo Op Reis" archived for all of eternity- November 29, 2005 In 20012002. I spent six months in Australia and Thailand with Froukje. We infrequently updated a blog hosted by blogger called Leo Op Reis. The folks at blogger have done a very good job keeping the content around in their database (even if the blogspot page is missing some archives).
