RFC : DynamicMBean in JDK — Method getAttributes
In case you haven’t quite figured it out, the above RFC stands for Request For Clarifications in this case — as in, this post is meant to pretty much ask the tinterweb population out there if they know anything about this. (My searches so far have proved unsuccessful — though I am known to be […]
Big Sur, California, 8-9/Sep/2012
Continuing the series of random travels through USA this weekend with Monterey Bay and Big Sur and the coast of Northern California: For those who have seen the movie “Forrest Gump“, you will be pleased to know that on the backend of that, “Bubba Gump Shrimp Co” was created — for real: Yup, I did […]
Labor Day 2012 : Eureka, College Cove & Crater Lake
Labor Day 2012, and the National Lampoon holiday to Portland, Oregon via Eureka started on the Friday before 🙂 Plan was very simple: drive to Eureka really early Friday, spend night there, drive next day to Portland and party it out there and gun it back to the Valley on Monday.

Re-enforce Your Car Bumpers, California :)
As of yesterday, I have now a (temporary) Californian driving license — need to still go through the actual driving test it seems (though the irony is that I will drive my car to the testing centre — on my British license! — then take the test, and even if I fail it — can’t […]
You Can Get Everything You Want …
Great diner — even though it’s not the original Alice’s Restaurant, but pretty damn awsome!
