Sun Joins Open AJAX Alliance and Dojo Foundation

Sun Microsystems announced their support for the DojoToolkit and the Foundation on June 16th. The PR-flack-processed version is available, but the short story is basically that some of the great engineers at Sun that we’ve had the chance to meet over the last couple of months will have a chance to spend more time hacking on Dojo, and as part of their day jobs to boot.
As part of the Dojo Toolkit project, Sun will be contributing AJAX
widgets, helping with internationalization efforts and refining
documentation. Greg Murray, Sun's AJAX Architect, will be
one of the people representing Sun as a member of the Dojo
Foundation.

Interview with Dan Malks, Deepak Alur, & John Crupi of JackBe

http://sys-con.tv/read/239153.htm Live from JavaOne 2006 in San Francisco By: SYS-CON TV Jun. 21, 2006 12:00 PM I liked the fact that Danny Malks mentioned how JackBe is moving towards "lightweight" platform solutions direction with r egards to the convergance of SOA and the client while utilalyzing AJAX technologies. Sounds like a software model that could help other independent software vendors (ISVs), service providers and enterprises deploy their services exposed by their SOA as software as a service (SaaS). In addition, to not only creating meaningfull mashups, but provide a lightweight admin platform to regulate those atomic messages. Interesting listen from the former Sun team who brought us the J2EE bible. Only thing I noticed is that I had to quickly turn down my volume when John Crupi spoke a couple of times. He's so loud. I wonder if he's always so loud? Web 2.0, Mashup, Enterprise 2.0, AJAX, SOA, Composite Applications, Platform, Framework, l...

DC Metro Police

I have a Smart-card and replenish it once every 2 weeks. As i walked through the gate, i had -$0.30 on my card.

But Officer BF Johnson didn't think so. He stopped me in my tracks, ordered me to approach him. He then ordered me to hand over my license and called the station to check for any suspicious (Obviously terror-related) activity from my end. He was telling me "you are riding on a negative balance, you are stealing from the metro". Yeah, lets call th...
