Dotage

A year after the third moment of project-size zen comes the fourth, celebrating the 2.1.0 release — and my birth year! [javac] Compiling 1974 source files to /home/mquail/work/crucible/2.1/output/classes The Buddha feels bloated.

So very 1337

Following the previous two, we have yet another moment of project-size zen [javac] Compiling 1337 source files to /Users/mquail/work/crucible/trunk/output/classes That’s right, we are now officially so very 1337!!1!

JavaOne, speaking, meetup

It is JavaOne time again, and I arrived in San Francisco this morning. I’m finally getting used to the 13 hour flight from Sydney to SF. I don’t know if that is a good thing. It is going to be a busy year this year. Some highlights below. If you are in San Francisco note [...]

Got a Jolt!

FishEye and Clover won Jolt awards this year! FishEye in the “Change and Configuration Management” category and Clover in the “Testing Tools” category. They are “the Oscars of our industry” which — for better or for worse — is about right. But I still I have a fondness for the Jolt awards. The first time [...]

From yay to nay in 16 minutes

Via the teaparty: 10:49:42 PM spud: it’s finally being pooped out http://paulgraham.com/arc0.html 10:52:58 PM michael: @spud: gentlemen, start your parentheses! 10:59:10 PM spud: “Arc only supports Ascii.

JavaPolis 07

So I’m off to JavaPolis 07. If you — my trusted readers — are going to be there, drop me a line or pop in to the Atlassian booth and say hello.

Talking nerdy

So, as I said 3 months ago, I’m now at Atlassian. I couldn’t imagine a workplace more compatible with the old Cenqua lifestyle. I mean, we had a DnD group up and running in the first few weeks! Atlassian has a rich and vibrant technical culture — the internal blogs are pure bliss. And there [...]

Goodbye, Hello

Today, Atlassian acquired Cenqua. More details here. Kinda seems surreal typing that in. But without a doubt exciting. Certainly seems surreal that I’ll be moving to Sydney, but that is real exciting too. Not much more to say than that at the moment, other than it is full steam ahead on making FishEye, Crucible and [...]

Serving one Apache site from two parallel directories

Some of you may say “whytf umofo”, and some may say “I’ve always wanted to be able to do that!”. This hack is for the later, but I will try below to explain to the former why it is useful. If anyone knows of an easier way to do it, please let me know. Apache [...]

JavaOne Wrapup: days 2 to 4

I’m now back here in Sydney waiting for my connecting flight back to Canberra. Great-googamooga the last few days have been a whirl, and hence a lack of blogging. Day Two (Wednesday) (I didn’t have my camera with me this day.) A good day at the booth. I had a couple of Technical Sessions on [...]
