Eek wordpress – from the server side java symposium

Switching to the web interface over the iPad app for live blogging. I’m a bit annoyed the word press iPad app lost my post because I started a second draft. I also noticed the app posted my blog entry twice. While researching this, I learned of other even worse problems.  Using the web interface exclusively now.

Update: turns out word press doesn’t scroll properly in the browser  on iPad. I’m now up to blogging in notes and copy/pasting it in

Update: added the 99 cent HTML editor so I can get to the <> keys more easily and add some formatting as I write

Update: the HTML editor I tried doesn’t wrap text. There is probably a better editor, but I don’t have time to find it during a conference so I am back to Notes.

Update: i finally found out how to scroll in safari. Two fingers in the textarea and drag. Now trying to blog in the wordpress browser ui again.  Stayed with this for the rest of the conference

So apparently the wordpress iPad app only let’s you have one blog post In draft form at the same time and i lost what I wrote earlier. Rewrote this from memory

Highlights

The language

  • wishes more language enhancements got into java 7
  • amazed how many people got stuck at gave 1.4

The Cloud

  • plugged netbeans and glass fish even though doesn’t have to anymore
  • A redeploy of amazon takes a few minutes because restarting clean. “by contrast” netbeans only takes a few seconds [netbeans is local]
  • amazon cloud expensive for baseline use. Suggesting having internal cloud on Eycalptus and using amazon for spillover

The Web

  • Is a social experiment. Which is not about tech

Other things

  • Hudson is now Jennings and owned by Cloudbees
  • Ended with a shout out to the coderanch community being participatory
  • I had never see Gosling speak live, he has a good stage presence

Hello from the server side java symposium

Scott and I are here at the server side java symposium in Vegas. We will be blogging here from the conference. I’m trying to blog from my iPad so excuse the typos. I’ll clean things up and add links over the weekend when I am on a real computer.

During the opening remarks javaranch/coderanch literally “invaded” the sever side. We walked up on stage with giant 5 foot tall bananas at the end of the opening remarks. Paul Wheaton talked about the reach and introduced Gosling and then the first keynote started. This means we were on the same stage as James Gosling for a few minutes. So cool!
