Mutant World: Randy Pausch Last Lecture
http://bordet.blogspot.com/2008/07/randy-pausch-last-lecture.html
Sunday, July 27, 2008. Randy Pausch Last Lecture. I just watched Randy Pausch last lecture. And found it absolutely incredible, one of those gems that cannot be missed. If you want to spend 1hr 16 mins in something really worth, then go watch it. The brickwalls are there for a reason: to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Brickwalls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough.". Thanks Randy: for the head fake that I've got from your last lecture. My open source projects.

Mutant World: Natty Narwhal's Unity, take two
http://bordet.blogspot.com/2011/05/natty-narwhals-unity-take-two.html
Thursday, May 05, 2011. Natty Narwhal's Unity, take two. I have previously blogged on Natty Narwhal's Unity shortcomings. But I decided to give it few more days, and I here are my further comments. I configured the launcher with 32 pixels icons and disabled auto-hiding. This basically brought me back an old-style launcher and a windows list that is always visible, allowing to glance at it for visual information regarding running applications. This new panel could be missing by default (but could be added...

Mutant World: Visibility in JavaScript
http://bordet.blogspot.com/2008/12/visibility-in-javascript.html
Monday, December 29, 2008. The topic of visibility of members and functions in JavaScript has been figured out already, and there are good resources, among which one of the most important is Douglas Crockford's Private Members in JavaScript. Here I just recap my experience for my own (and for anyone interested) future reference. JavaScript can have private members and functions, and I mostly use two idioms for this: the constructor function. And the the object initializer. Var privateMember = offset;.

Mutant World: November 2005
http://bordet.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 10, 2005. Posted by Simon at 23:13. Friday, November 04, 2005. Attaching to a Mustang, explained. I was intrigued by this blog. So I decided to take a look at the "attach on demand" feature. Since J2SE 5, it is possible to instrument a JVM using an "agent" with the following:. Java -javaagent: jarpath [= options ] mainclass. Is the path to the jar file containing the agent implementation (absolute, or relative to the directory from where the JVM has been started). First, we need a refe...

Mutant World: July 2005
http://bordet.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 15, 2005. A weird particular in java.util.concurrent. I am using J2SE 5, and so far I am quite happy. I got used to the generics syntax, and in general I can write less code to do the same things. Source code, I found this weird pattern:. Private final ReentrantLock takeLock = new ReentrantLock();. Final ReentrantLock takeLock = this.takeLock;. The more I looked at the code, the more it seemed to me unnecessary to declare that final local variable in the. Cache finals across volatiles".

Mutant World: March 2005
http://bordet.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 12, 2005. Has posted a very interesting blog entry on negatable annotations. In the last part of the post, he suggests that such a marker annotation can be used to annotate an MBean-like interface to say that it really is (or not) an MBean interface. Such a marker annotation should be meta-annotated with. Since it would be inherited, but unfortunately. Only works if the annotation annotates a class, not an interface. I wonder if Eamonn meant to annotate the class, more or less this way:.

Friday, February 11, 2005. Do you think it's space you're living in? Paraphrasing Morpheus, the article at the link above poses some doubt about universe dimensions, or at least on the current theories. Posted by Simon at 13:21.

Computing Thoughts by Roger Rached. JavaOne 2010 – Patterns for modularity. September 22, 2010 5 Comments. This BOF featured Jaroslav Tulach. Founder of NetBeans,along with Anton Epple and Zoran Sevarac. It was not really about new technology but about formalizing the approach and terminology for building modular systems. The talk targeted both desktop and server developers. The premise was that OO alone did not deliver on code-reuse hence the need to apply patterns, similar to the GoF. Save resources (y...

Mutant World: October 2004
http://bordet.blogspot.com/2004_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 31, 2004. Today in Valencia the 2004 MotoGP championship ended. Valentino Rossi dominated the season and this last race; present in the paddocks, among other VIPs, Michael Jordan (former NBA player). Valentino took the chance to scare Michael to death when they went for a couple of laps on the track with a car (Valentino was driving): Jordan run, literally run, out of the car at the moment Valentino stopped the car :-). Posted by Simon at 15:04. Saturday, October 30, 2004. It happened rec...
