ShareMe -The Mobile FutureA Weblog about Java programming and digital convergence on mobile devices in such areas as P2P and collaborative technology. Wikibook: J2ME.A Naked Conversation, A defintion- June 30, 2008 No one go this yet let me take by stab at it. We all have seen that dumb shit of a picture of Shel Israel and Robert Scoble with their shirts off trying, badly, to give some definition of a naked conversation. That metaphor fails as conversations are never clothed. Now lets try and guess what a naked conversation is. We can all agree that when different views are discussed without not only logic and intelligence but also emotions that they are in fact naked conversations. Everyone vents,...http://www.jroller.com/shareme/entry/a_naked_conversation_a_defintion Installing Spring in Eclipse3.4- June 26, 2008 For Eclipse 3.4 you have to install a different version of Spring IDE, namely 2.1.0. The update url for that is: http:springide.orgupdatesite_nightly Screen shot showing installed is here(click to enlarge):http://www.jroller.com/shareme/entry/installing_spring_in_eclipse3_4 AP and Citizen Journalism- June 26, 2008 I just had an interesting blow-back against non journalists this week. Evidently journalists and Journalist managers feel that they are threatened by declining ad sales per Print Media and etc. Number one, non journalists putting up online article is to surpass journalists numbers this year. Number two, the bad attitude problem towards non journalists will not get you very far, about as far as Shel Israel got in pretending to know what he was talking about as far as modern transparent...http://www.jroller.com/shareme/entry/ap_and_citizen_journalism Transparency and User Adovcate in StartUps- June 25, 2008 Every once in awhile a start up will post a project add to build a platform for specific segment of users. For that platform to be effective not only the right technical choices have to be made by the developers but also a large degree of transparency by the management culture. its the whole reason why when I apply for those projects that I test current management and see how transparent they might be at that time. It makes no clear sense to me to take money for completing a project when I...http://www.jroller.com/shareme/entry/transparency_and_user_adovcate_in Getting Back To Code Craft-ToolSet- June 25, 2008 I have been using some of my time to get back to code craft in analyzing what I want as tools in my toolbox. Here is what I have thus far on Ubuntu: Emacs Texlive GNU R Octave SAGE Ruby PHP Perl Rails Catalyst Cake Django Apache HTTPD MySQL Postgres The whole idea is to have some analytical tools to statistically analyze Web MVC choices. Not to say there are not hostingdb size usage considerations as far as price in choosing one Web MVC over another, for instance Ruby On Rails is higher in...http://www.jroller.com/shareme/entry/getting_back_to_code_craft A Crazy Founder Conversation- June 25, 2008 Its hard to imagine anything more crazy than the Founder conversation I had today. A founder wanted me to wait idly by while a platform project fails than come in and rescue it all the while letting founder take computer programming classes to attempt to lend a hand. Now that would work for a simple web application but not a while freaking platform.http://www.jroller.com/shareme/entry/a_crazy_founder_conversation In its about time department-Nokia OpenSources Symbian- June 24, 2008 Nokia is buying the Symbian Stock to open source Symbian under an Eclipse public License. This is important not because of J2ME MIDP on Symbian but because of the strength of J2me CDC on Symbian and their Browser stack. It also means that embedding anew Mozilla Mobile browser on Symbian doe snot conflict license wise as GPL, EPL, and MPL are compatible licensees. Apple iPhone just got some more competition.http://www.jroller.com/shareme/entry/in_its_about_time_department StartUp Engineering-Iteration- June 23, 2008 A question if the prototype of a start-up is a new invention do you accomplish anything by putting all modules of the prototype on an iteration schedule including payment if none of the developers have had any role in producing the budget proposal for the prototype What usually happen sit he lessor developers figure out how to game the system and produce a very small iteration that produces no progress towards the platform prototype and the project fails. But the start up may have received all.http://www.jroller.com/shareme/entry/startup_engineering_iteration Embedded-CodeSearch in Eclipse- June 21, 2008 I found a better site to embed in my Eclipse IDE than dzone that works better being embedded as results on a web query, its called Snipplr . Plus, I can than iframe in my tiddlywiki too if I want to embed in that way in an IDE.
