I am sure open source enthusiasts will get reminded of the infamous Open Letter to Hobbyists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists
1) Read that the open source movement got a big spur during the 2000 slow down and researchers estimate another spur now. Very evident by the increase in the number of participants and projects. Blessing in disguise but lets keep the laid off in our prayers.
2) Planning for integrating IzPack into Snapman over the weekend. Successfully implemented the InfixToPostFix conversion and evaluation algorithm. Need to have more tricks in my bag (Man !! i really wish i got good comp science education)
3) Had trouble running azureus on Jaunty Jantelope (Ubuntu 9.04). Executing from terminal showed that it is looking for open jdk 6. So, just installed Open JDK after uninstalling the gcj. Noob fix but still it solves my problem.
4) Bug # 1 in Ubuntu bugs.. hahhaha https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1 Yup. Thats the real bug.
I think i seriously need to develop some expertise to write something daily for my blog.
Even though the idea of free Flex is exciting, I was one of the many who complained that Flex should be made open source than free. But today, Adobe made a press release stating that the source code of Flex is to be released soon under Mozilla Public License. MXML, ActionScript compiler, command line debugger and Flex framework are among the list of those that are to be opensourced. However, the eclipse-based Flex builder still remains in Adobe hands.
FYI : Last November, Adobe announced the source code contribution of its ActionScript Virtual Machine2 (AVM 2) to the Mozilla’s Tamarin project. Adobe says that AVM2 is about 10 times faster than the AVM1 that we use on our browsers now. The Tamarin code will be included within SpiderMonkey, the open source JavaScript engine used by Firefox and other applications based on Mozilla technology (available in 2008).
