I guess I’m no rugby expert but I am an avid fan — those of you who know me can probably testify for that. My passion for the sport goes to the point of considering rugby the ultimate sport – as I believe it has a bit of every other sport in it – and […]
I found myself recently using the Buffer class in the Apache Commons Collections framework — and realised that the Buffer-related classes don’t get enough coverage as they probably should, since they can actually provide out-of-the-box solutions to common development problems. So I started this little exercise partly to demonstrate some of the powerful Buffer-based classes […]
I will explain at the end what triggered in my mind this virtual theater play — as I had a deja vu moment and couldn’t help but share it (story of my blog really 🙂 ). This is my first attempt at “writing” a play so bear with me — hopefully it will be worth […]
Just got this in the post the other day (thank you!!!) — I think it pretty much sums up every one of my days nowadays 🙂
OK so for a while I’ve been keeping an eye on who and what and how indexes my blog, trying, like all the other bloggers out there to get a bit more “traction” (I looooove Silicon Valley slang 😉 ) for my blog. Part of this, is not just relying on the standard Google or […]
Back in February/2012, I’ve hit 3,000+ page views a month — big milestone for a small blog like this, I’m sure you’ll all agree! It appears traffic has been on the way up though, as my latest look at the Wassup stats reveals over 8,000 page views for the last month! And that is, as […]
I posted before an article about how to use Oracle’s (well, Sun’s, since it was started really before the Oracle acquisition) HTML/JMX agent to monitor your apps via JMX here. For those of you who went ahead and decided to use that interface, you probably noticed a small (but rather annoying bug) in that component […]
By sheer act of random I was one of the lucky ones to actually see Endeavor today flying over Mountain View. And I’ve realised once again in attempting to take photos of it that my BlackBerry is pretty rubbish at taking photos 🙂 As such I will try to provide 2 versions for each of […]
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 […]
The title of this quite likely would sound really really weird to a lot of you — you don’t necessarily associate IHOP with business management (or leadership lessons)! However, I wish all of the “pedigrees” I see strutting around the Silicon Valley would take time off from their usual brushing up their resume and trying […]
