Microsoft and Porn

I'm not the biggest Microsoft fan in the world. I dislike some of their practices and software. But at the end of the day, they're a company doing what companies do. They're just better and more aggressive than some others. But I have to give them credit for this. I read about this a year or so ago and was so thrilled to see them doing this. But now apparently the software is "done" and they've chosen to release it under some form of an open source license. (The article doesn't mention what license.) Microsoft may or may not have "wronged" a lot of people on its way to its current position, but just shows that there are decent people at Microsoft despite the rumors and accusations to the contrary. Good job, Bill.

JDK 1.5

1.5 has been out for some time now and I still haven't migrated. I've been holding off because one project I'm working on is staying on 1.4 so I just held off on all of them. But I think it's time to upgrade the others and just make a special case for the 1.4 project. There's too much I don't know about 1.5 yet and I need to get up to speed on it. This hosting service has forced my website code to 1.5 so I might as move everything else up as well.
