Questa sera i olandesi hanno dato una grande schiaffone agli italiani. Okay, that’s enough Italian for now. I won’t repeat the other stuff I learnt tonight. After I asked an Italian friend of mine (by text message): ‘come stai? ;-)’, he responded by saying ‘come con tre dita nel ….’. I think Italians will probably […]

Una grande schiaffone per i italiani!! Grande grande!!
Published June 10th, 2008 in At home, Java-related and Leisure. 1 CommentArrgghhh…. main Eclipse download on Leopard still not fixed?????
Published January 16th, 2008 in Java-related. 3 CommentsEclipse on Leopard used to have a very nasty bug that made it to crash in certain circumstances. Now I just downloaded the main Eclipse distribution (I figured, it’s been a while, the main download SHOULD have fixed this now). And it still crashes.
Now, I’m sure it’ll be fixed in the next version, but what […]
The Mac not suited for Java development??
Published November 15th, 2007 in Abroad, Java-related and Technology. 1 CommentOkay, apart from Java 6 not being available on the Mac, I’m not complaining at all:

Macintosh:~ alefarendsen$ which ant
/usr/bin/ant
Macintosh:~ alefarendsen$ which mvn

I just got a new laptop and immediately installed Leopard on it. I was in such a rush that I really didn’t have time to do anything […]
Amsterdam Java Meetup Q3-07 / 21 september
Published August 22nd, 2007 in Abroad, Java-related and Technology. 0 CommentsIn about a month, I’ll be organizing another Java Meetup in Amsterdam. This will be the seventh time this event is taking place, and so far I’ve enjoyed all of them. Reading all responses and emails I received over time, this also holds for loads of you that have joined in in the past.
I’ve already […]
It seems like JRoller screwed up again. At least, that’s what it looks like to me…
Cameron’s blog looks like this today:
And I also found another blog, which doesn’t even show the entry text.
Way to go! Fortunately Hani abandoned JRoller a while ago, so we can still enjoy his stuff

Published May 18th, 2007 in Java-related and Technology. 0 CommentsNext month is going to a busy one, with two conferences and lots of other internal work to do.
June 13, I’ll be speaking at the bi-annual NL-JUG event, J-Spring in Bussum. I’ll be hosting two tutorial-like sessions, together with my colleagues Arjen Poutsma and Joris Kuipers.
The week following J-Spring, we are hosting SpringOne in Antwerp. […]
A couple of weeks ago I was approached by Ahmed Hashim of the Egyptian Java Users Group to present on Spring while I was there for a client engagement. It seems JUGs are everywhere, even where you don’t expect them.
As I like to inspire people with interesting talks (at least, I hope they’re interesting) on […]

Bring along anybody you know that has anything to do with Java, if […]
Securing Spring WebFlow flows in under 500 lines of code
Published February 8th, 2007 in Java-related, Spring and Technology. 7 CommentsA client of ours I visited a couple of weeks ago had successfully prototyped Spring WebFlow security. The solution was pretty elegant, although when looking at it from a configuration perspective, it wasn’t entirely perfect. I offered to take over the code and help out with refactoring it so it could be integrated into their […]

Amongst others I met with a former co-student of mine I hadn’t seen in 7 years or so (although we’re […]
