    6:30 am -- I scrape myself off of Dain's couch and grab the laptop. Dain is perched over a cup of coffee, wearing his "code poet" shirt. My luggage and tripod are by the front door. On our way out to the car I ask myself "are we really going to go through with this?"

      SWEET! The D&D Player's Handbook is going to be available in Java?! I'm so excited, I don't even know what that means? Hopefully, they'll port it to XML and other buzz-worthy technologies soon. Haha, stick it to WotC

      God, I'm a dork. I (futily) hope someone else finds this amusing.

    That hurts. Not only did they have to throw together a site in secret, as soon as it hits the net it has to face slashdot. I will be truly impressed if it survives.

    Those servers that are about to die, I salute you.

    The consultants are so mad, they anonymously posted a story to Slashdot to get JBoss's web server slashdotted. How devious.

    Well, pretending to work got us a $150,000 PO last week from a MAJOR semiconductor manufacturer. So if "pretending to work" will get us a PO of that size in this economy, I'll stick to pretending.

    The article says "The JBoss Group has been forked."

    It sounds more like they've been knifed.

    Maybe they'll get lucky and get spooned too.

    JDICTATOR. It doesn't order your java software to perform it routinely tourtures a random sample of javasoftware as a warning to others. It fights performances issues "to the Pain". So far it just consists of C code with big ears that gets picked on a lot, so look out, it will have a chip on its shoulder when it gets loose.

    Y'know, it might be just me, but I am not sure it's a good idea to call your company Rim U Hosting. That level of service seems a little extreme. I'd be fine with just having my website hosted.
