Shameless plug, I use www.thebuckyball.com to handle all email contacts and social friends, but that's because I wrote the backend, (in erlang) for those interested.

I actually worked on the 9000 Communicator when I worked for Geoworks in the UK, many moons ago.

We also worked on the Seiko Epson locatio, phone with PDA browser and GPS all in 1998, http://www.knorbury.co.uk/locatio.gif

That's why I switched from Google, the !bang feature is something I could not live without now.

That is a really nice summation.

Nothing after Erlang, does that mean its perfect :)

Unfixable.

I have just stared learning Erlang after more or less leaving Java, and the heavy weight world of J2EE. I was surprised how easy I have found learning Erlang maybe it just seemed to make sense, or it feels like the right way of doing things. I would be really interested in the book.

That font affect hurts my eyes.

Am i reading this right, are they dropping Swing from JDK7 release?

I don't believe so. Looks like they are dropping the Swing Applications Framework which is an add-on to make Swing apps easier to develop.

OK cheers, I thought it was a bit drastic.

Also "Apophis, a 25 million ton celestial body will narrowly miss our planet three times in succession. The first near-miss is expected on the superstitious date of Friday 13th 2029" That's not the best day for it to happen is it.

It probably should display informix as an option, but got a row lock error.
