Attending Campus Crusade's Midsouth Conference...

It's the first time I have ever attended a Christian conference where twitter was being used so much during the conference. Usually I don't equate twitter with a Christian conference, but Campus Crusade's midsouth conference is certainly an exception. From the beginning of the conference to the end, participants were tweeting all kind of stuff all the time.

Umbrella Java User Group AFRICA

I have just created JUG-AFRICA wich will be an umbrella Java User Group (JUG) for the entire continent that country JUGs or individual JUGs can affiliate with.

Delve into Dot Net Town

Yep, it was bound to happen. Curiosity set in and I looked to see how much this new Windows 7 thang is running. $29.95 ain't too bad. But, as we all know, that's just the beginning. The first gram is free. You and I both know that installing a new release leads to more serious drugs. I mean, apps. I mean...you know what I mean.

Anyhoo, last time I worked with Visual Studio it was pretty impressive. Visual Studio 2010 is out in beta,… Continue

Looking for Java/Groovy developers for help with an Opensource Project

Hey everyone just throwing it out there,

Currently the project is in Java,… Continue

How a Game of Patterns Can Help Software Organisations to Gain Insights and Improve

Patterns can help us to understand how things work and how cultures develop. The game in an organisational system is about recognizing patterns and anti-patterns.
