P@ SunglassesPatrick Chanezon's Sun external WeblogRe:Syndication model convergence and RDF- January 31, 2005 Cool, Danny Ayers discovered our little java-syndication group and wrote a thoughtful blog entry with a proposal for something that we want to solve: Syndication model convergence and RDF. 2 weeks ago Alejandro and I (from ROME) went to San Francisco to have lunch with Kevin Burton and Brad Neuberg from Feedparser and discussed potential areas of collaboration, and our joint submission at JavaOne. One of the ideas that came up (from Brad if I remember) was to build ROME-like beans on top of a...http://blogs.sun.com/pat/entry/re_syndication_model_convergence_and Learning Ruby: a few refs- January 27, 2005 Like all java geeks I've been learning Ruby recently: it's always refreshing to learn new ways of thinking about things. In Ruby the main way to think about programming is in terms of iterators and blocks.A few references for my friend Erwan:Programming Ruby aka the Pickaxe, by our friends the pragmatic programmers. Dense, terse, fun, as all their books. It's the classic for Ruby. I had a similar pleasure reading it as when I read Programming Perl many years ago (except that I never finished...http://blogs.sun.com/pat/entry/learning_ruby_a_few_refs Why is Google interested in Java and Mozilla- January 27, 2005 Pourquoi Google s'interesse a Java et Mozilla is a very good analysis of the recent Google hiring moves for java and Mozilla engineers. It's in french, but Google is your friend and here's how they would translate it (thanks to the anonymous commenter who posted this link). Ludovic expresses in very clear terms what I was thinking since a while. Ludo and I were at Netscape together, when the strategy was to make the OS irrelevant by having the browser be the platform for most applications. I...http://blogs.sun.com/pat/entry/why_is_google_interested_in Sun opens 82678 lines of C code today: have a good read!- January 25, 2005 Today Sun started the open sourcing of Solaris by releasing the source code for DTrace. I'm a java guy, with a little experience in C and C++, but not familiar at all with UNIX kernel engineering, so I guess this code will be way off my head. But I decided to download it and take a quick look at it. The OpenSolaris site has a neat simple design, with a list of blogs on the right, but no RSS feed yet. I hope they'll add that soon. The download is quick, and I was very happily surprised that you..http://blogs.sun.com/pat/entry/sun_opens_82678_lines_of Re: Todd Fast: HOWTO: Adding Technorati Cosmos Links to a Roller Blog- January 25, 2005 Todd Fast explains HOWTO: Adding Technorati Cosmos Links to a Roller Blog. A good entry, but since he is not aware of all the possibilities offered by velocity macros in Roller templates he has to use javascript to encode the url of the post, which makes including these links more complicated than it should be.Roller macros are extremely well documented at http:www.rollerweblogger.orgvelocidocsindex.html, but I could not find any documentation for the $utilities package (or whatever they name...http://blogs.sun.com/pat/entry/re_todd_fast_howto_adding |
