The icestorm cometh.

Looks like we might be in for another terrible and deadly ice storm here in North Carolina. We are expecting below freezing temperatures and heavy rain from 3PM to 9PM today.

Time mismanagement.

As you can see, I've returned to mismanaging my time (i.e. blogging). I've finished the 2nd drafts of my Wrox Professional JSP chapters. The reviewers seemed to like my 1st drafts, especially the Performance and Debugging chapter, but that did not stop them from making hundreds of comments and thus burning two perfectly good weekends.

Speaking of Wrox, I picked up JBoss 3.0 Deployment and Administration Handbook by Meeraj Kunnumpurath the other day. I like the new small and concise handbook format. You don't need a wheel-barrow to move it around the office like most Wrox books. The book appears to be perfect for somebody, like me, who already knows J2EE and just needs to understand how to configure and deploy to JBoss.

Google buys Blogger!

Holy crap is right. Dan Gillmore speculates that Yahoo, Microsoft, and AOL will also be buying or building their own weblogging systems. Congratulations to Evan Williams and Pyra team. Five people supporting 1.1 million webloggers? Amazing.
