All About the Bling Bling... (Oct 30 2003 23:31 GMT) - I've never been a big fan of the "tip jar" that you see on some blogs. I understand why people put them there, but I don't know if I would ever give someone money through one. Sure, if they were raising money for a specific campaign (walking for breast cancer, biking for MS like I will be doing in April) I am more likely to send a donation to the cause. Or I might send someone a gift from their Amazon Wishlist. But I don't normally toss money right in to the tip jar. |

Bitter EJB (Oct 30 2003 23:27 GMT) - Really like this book the more and more I read it the more it grows on me. It's got some classic issues that I have had experience of in projects that people wouldn't take as problems. If you work on designing J2EE projects especially big projects you should go out and buy this book! Some of the pattern names are really amusing as well, I can't wait to be in a situation where I am explaining that a project has used the Golden Hammer pattern or Rusty Keys pattern:-) |
