VMWare buying SpringSource: http://blogs.vmware.com/console... . Cloud is really about apps & APIs.

trying to figure out how switching svn to git will affect our team members who use Eclipse heavily.

I think java+xml will be replaced by scala+groovy. Good discussion of scala by "Mr Groovy": http://macstrac.blogspot.com/2009...

Been writing non-trivial integration code with Apache Camel and ActiveMQ. I like it.

Back home from Sandestin, FL. My cell phone didn't like swimming in the ocean as much as I did, though. Oops.

I played around with Erlang by implementing mandlebrot / logistic function calculations. The area of the mandlebrot set is still unknown.

@timbray regarding application/xml: What you think of using WADL to associate a schema/relaxng uri. Can AtomPub do something like this?

Nifty article about NIST clocks (thanks to @mtman97): http://www.wired.com/science...

I can't recall a time that Tim Duncan was so bad. 5 points? West had 30? TD needs to guard him.

Just took Jackson for a walk at Eisenhower park. Awesome weather today.
