Getting things under way

This past weekend, I finally managed to complete things that were for so long left neglected. Thanks to Jonathan who took out time to respond to my email query and his super informative site on Lenya, I was able to redo the template for Lenya. I also did something that was for so long pending - reorganizing some of the stuff on my PC. What else... I also worked on the online Picture navigator that I had planned to do so long back. Finally the work is underway, only not too sure about the tagging of pictures.

Meanwhile Yahoo! 360 is up and I just got an invite :)
Got to check it out, heard that 360 too ofers a blog and some other so called "cool" features that these social networking sites provide(?)

Gmail Chat Disabled

The fact that it happened does not surprise me but that it took so long for our network administrators to figure it out does. And if you are wondering how do you disable Gmail's chat features on your network, you only need locking DNS lookups to chatenabled.mail.google.com , by returning 127.0.0.1 .

Community effort to create a single persistence model for the Java community

A community effort led by Sun Microsystems is aiming to create a single 'Plain Old Java Object' persistence model to provide a single object/relational mapping facility for Java app developers in J2SE and J2EE. Paul Krill writes In a letter to the “Java Technology Community” on Friday, specification leads on Java Specification Request (JSR) 220, which is the proposal for Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, and JSR-243, for Java Data Objects, state that the two technologies feature divergent persistence models. “This divergence has caused confusion and debates among Java developers, and is not in the best of interest of the Java community,” said JSR-220 leader Linda DeMichiel who also is a Sun employee, and Craig Russell, a staff engineer at Sun who leads JSR-243. “In response to these requests [for an end to the unwanted divide], Sun Microsystems is leading a community effort to create a single POJO (Plain Old Java Object) persistence model for the Java community,” the letter said.
