It's about time!

Sun announced that Java 1.5 is now beta, which is about time that they started making some useful improvements to it.

Of the cooler things in it are generics, automatic type conversion, and type-checked enumerated types. In my opinion this is a step in the right direction for Sun, in making their product more usable for the average programmer.

BTW

By the way, for now this blog isn't using the same CSS or links that my main site is, which will hopefully either change, or a new one will be written. Stay tuned for this...

My First Post

Yes ladies and gentlepeople, I do in fact rule, and as this has been established by many thus far, I erected (stop giggling now please) this monument as a something to my greatness. If I had anything of use to say, I would gladly say it, but as I don't, you will just have to wait it out :)

One thing I did notice was this, the Open Source Convention, which is hosted by O'Reilly, will be in Portland this year. I thought the workshops looked pretty interesting, especially the PHP and Python workshops.

Anyway, check back here if you want to hear my thoughts and musings, I will try to keep it updated, but no promises... :)
