So, yours-truly will be spotlighting my fave features of my home site : Today's Spotlight: Java on Pogo.com!

I was one - along with about 40% of my immediate group - of those impacted by Sun's recent reduction in force, so this will definitely be my last entry, save possibly a comment with a future blog site (if interested, check "notify me of new comments" when adding yours). Working for Sun Microsystems was a dream...http://blogs.sun.com/dilly/entry/away_from_my_blog_redux Simon Ritter: Celebrate good times, c'mon- July 14, 2008 Today is the 14th of July, and here in France it's a day of national celebration (hence the title of this post). A celebration of the storming of the Bastille and the birth of the French nation as we know it today. The strange thing about this celebration is that when the Bastille was stormed to liberate all the prisoners held there the revolutionaries freed a grand total of four people. How typically French, especially when you find out they were all recaptured by the authorities later in the..http://blogs.sun.com/simonri/entry/celebrate_good_times_c_mon bmseer: Linpack HPC benchmark Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 2.52GHz- July 14, 2008 The Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 server running 2.52GHz SPARC64 VII processors delivered 2.023 TFLOPS on the Linpack HPC benchmark.

The helpful people at Sixt upgraded us so we had a brand new saloon from a well known German manufacturer. I'm a big fan of German automotive engineering, my last three cars having been a Volkswagen Corrado VR6 and two Audi S3s. However, there were several 'features' of this particular vehicle that really got on my nerves due to the efforts of the designers to...http://blogs.sun.com/simonri/entry/technology_gone_too_far |
