Sam and I presented our two BOFs last night and as he said, they went really well. In fact, as I write this in the Alumni room, somebody just came up to us and thanked us again, which was nice. :-) We had one of the huge rooms in Hall E, Moscone North ... |

The last session I went to was about Project Looking glass. It was nice to see a much longer demo of this because it really is amazing. The talk didn't just stick to flashy graphics because they talked about how it's all implemented. I'm not much of a ... |

Let's get Groovy, baby
The last session I went to yesterday was an overview of Groovy. James and Rod did an excellent presentation but personally I'm still undecided about where I stand on Groovy. I can see that it's going to be useful for quickly scripting up little ... |

Portlet Specification : What Is Real and What Comes Next?
Earlier I went to a session about the JSR-168 Portlet specification and this is something that I've not looked at in any detail. I was a little confused at first because they kept saying how they had extended the Servlet container in building the portlet ... |

Open source Java
During the general session earlier I thought that open source Java was going to be announced for a split second! It wasn't, but Java 3D and the code to Sun's Looking Glass project (I think) is going to be open sourced. |
