                                        Monday, December 28, 2009. Handy But Hidden: Collections.newSetFromMap(). I was reminded again today of how much the core Java libraries have grown over the years.  It can be really hard to keep track of all the nice little features that get added in each release.  Today, I was wishing that there was a ConcurrentHashSet class or some other HashSet-style concurrent collection.  Before implementing something myself, I did some searching on Google and found a nice way.

                                        Thursday, October 1, 2009. Great Star Trek:TOS Quote. My wife and I recently started watching Star Trek: The Original Series. Episodes via Netflix's Watch Instantly streaming service (they're also available on YouTube Shows. 160; Although it's a fun show, I still prefer The Next Generation. And Deep Space Nine. Series.  I did, however, come upon a line that made me laugh out loud:. What makes you think you're a man? 160; You're an overgrown jackrabbit, an elf with a hyperactive thyroid!

On Wednesday, May 25 at 7 pm  Here's my description of the talk:. In this talk, I'm planning to cover the basics of GPars, including what it's like to learn to use it. Although I've done a fair amount of concurrent programming, I've just started using GPars. As such, this talk should be suitable for Groovy beginners.

                                        Saturday, June 27, 2009. Embedded Groovy as an Application Extension Language. I recently worked with my client to add an extension mechanism (in this case, a very simple plug-in system) to their intranet Java web application.  It's initially meant for use by professional services staff and possibly other advanced users in the future.  Our first thought was to go with JavaScript. Via the Java Scripting API.

                                        Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Attending SpringOne 2GX in October! After much thought, I finally decided last night to register for the SpringOne 2GX. Conference running from October 19 through 22 in New Orleans.  The deadline for the super-early bird pricing. Is this Friday (July 31), so I thought I should make my decision.  I've been to talks on Groovy. But I'm really looking forward to an entire conference devoted to those topics.  I hope to see you there! Posted by Matt Passell. Links to this post.

                                        Tuesday, August 19, 2008. Over a year ago, Martha stopped coming to Taiko classes because she needed to undergo Chemotherapy. Today I found out that she passed away. This picture just hints at her enthusiasm and the warmth of her smile. Sunday, August 17, 2008. A few years ago, Evenewra moved to the East coast (NJ) from the West coast, and we decided to start a tradition of camping together every year. The first camping trip was August of 2006 and Evenewra was pregnant. And now she's an adorable toddler:.

                                        Thursday, March 26, 2009. I had a chance to do some gardening today. I am always happiest to be gardening in the early spring when I've been away from the earth: inside and cold all winter long. While cleaning up around some crocuses, I found myself thinking of Martha. Crocus vernus 'Twilight' with an Unidentified Hymenopteran. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
