JavaOne: vaguely unrelated to the keynote I'm watching
 Ask any JavaOne alumni (I hate that word) and they will tell you: only the first general session is actually worth going to.. everything else is boring, repetitious or just a sales pitch. Granted, maybe not "any" alumni but only the more jaded, cynical ones.. but still it's something that you might hear often from one of the thousands people milling around the hallways with orange "alumni" badges.
Personally, I've concluded that watching the keynote from the stairway outside the hall (where I'm sitting right now typing this) is a lot more exciting than in an uncomfortable chair in a dark hall. I'll add a picture of all the like minded people later when I can find my usb micro drive adapter. I think it's in my suitcase. Whoever is the person writing this weblog is right.. my other JavaOne entries totally suck.. and I'm not ashamed to admit I'm using my blog as a personal notepad.. so pffft. I do wish that people put up "about me" pages or at least mentioned their name somewhere on their weblog so I don't have to refer to them as "whoever is the person.." when linking to an entry. Things that JavaOne needs more of: power outlets. Edit: well, I totally screwed up that picture.. don't ask. |

Er, nevermind. Looks like the author of The Bile Blog is Hani Suleiman:

Well now I know, thanks! I'm not exactly good with knowing who writes what and where and for what reason..

Nonetheless, I think the point made here as well as in Hani's blog is that this blog and other blogs suck because of the lack of meaningful content about the JavaOne event.

Gee, maybe you should go BUY a trade rag that has better coverage.
