- Closing - "The Outer Light" or "Inside the Light" (they haven't decided yet) by Butterflies and Zebras (Norm Howard, and Steve Northover - the SWT dude) - "I tuned my old acoustic to a C modal tuning that I like (CACDCE). I asked Norm for some east Indian sounds which he proceeded to make flawlessly, using a glass slide and his sunburst strat. Without warning, he launched into a rhythm pattern, using his delay to double up what he was playing (the delay is in time with the rhythm so it's there, but you don't notice it, so it's kind of ghostly). I took the solo, clean first with a TS9 for light distortion and then the wah, and finally clean again. Towards the end, I switch to rhythm (no delay) and Norm solos, using the same delay that he used for the rhythm. He's tasteful and heads for the stars during the fade out" - http://www.onmusic.com/nands

Interview with Van Simmons about JINI and ComputeCycles - Part 3

Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com

We now have a google group for the Java Posse at http://groups.google.com/group/javaposse

Van is the leader of the ComputeCycles project. ComputeCycles is an open-source project which uses Jini, Glassfish and Groovy to build a secure, scalable, "on-the-fly" compute grid. In this interview he talks about the role Jini plays in that effort and why it's used at the core of the ComputeCycles project.

New Java Posse Google Group

Hi Posse Listeners. I just got through setting up the Java Posse google group. You can get it at:

http://groups.google.com/group/javaposse

Anyone can read the posts there, but only members can post (this is hopefully to cut down spam posting). It is unmoderated but if we end up with a lot of spam we might start moderating first posts (I don't think any of us want this to turn into a Chinese links spam distribution medium).

Enjoy, and I hope this group gets some traffic. We will, of course, be reading it and joining in.

Theme Music:
- Opening - "Java" the parody song Copyright 1997 Broken Records and Marjorie Music Publ. (BMI), written and performed by Loose Bruce Kerr of the Dr. Demento Show and Sun Microsystems attorney. Based on the WWI popular song, "Ja-da." Ukelele style on the recording taught to Bruce by his dad. Re-produced with kind permission from "Loose" Bruce Kerr - http://www.loosebrucekerr.com
- Closing - "Africa (About Face)" by Butterflies and Zebras - Norm Howard and Steve Northover (Steve was interviewed about SWT recently)
  Comment from Steve Northover - If you check http://www.onmusic.com/nands (the slowest site in the world), some of the fractals and many of the mp3's I gave you are now available there. For "Africa (About Face)", my acoustic is tuned in this great EEEEBE tuning. Norm is playing his electric through his 100W Marshall stack clean. It's a straight forward song (something we don't do too much). I'm using a delay pedal and not much else. Bet you can't even hear it much. That's the interesting thing about guitar effects. When used tastefully, they become organic rather than "in your face". It's an art to sneak them in rather than just click them on and everyone goes, "Oh listen, he just clicked in the flanger".

Two ints and a Float are in a bar. They spot an attractive Double on her own.

The first int walks up to her. "Hey, baby", he says, "my VM or yours". She slaps him and he walks back dejected.

The second int walks over. "Hey, cute-stuff, can I cook your Beans for breakfast". After a
quick slapping, he too walks back.

The Float then ambles over casually: "Were those two primitive types bothering you?", he remarks.
"Yes. I'm so glad you're here", she says. "They just had no Class!"

Java Posse #065 - Interviews from Topcoder and Java One

Previously Un-Aired Interviews from Topcoder and Java One

Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com -

This is a pair of previously un-aired interviews. The first was recorded by Joe, Carl and Dick at TopCoder with Ari Balogh, Vice President of Engineering for Verisign Inc. It is a short but technically meaty interview. The second was a wrap-up of Java One with John and Melinda Weathers of NewEnergy Associates (co-workers of Dick) about their experiences at what was their first Java One.

The quality of both interviews is a product of the recording location - the first, while clear, has a certain amount of background noise, since it was recorded in the TopCoder arena. The second was recorded in a San Francisco hotel after Java One and the sounds of the San Francisco streets is quite prominent. Treat these as adding a little ambience to the interviews :-).

There is a Java meetup in London that Simon Brown is organizing - for details check his blog

About the Java Posse

Since folks have been asking... The Java Posse is a group of four veteran Java software architects that know eachother well, love to talk about Java technology (and technology in general), and happen to have a bad habit of recording audio stuff and publishing it on the web.

The Java Posse was incepted by Dick Wall (New Energy Associates) as a follow-on the the short-lived JavaCast podcast. He rounded up Tor Norbye (Sun Microsystems) and Carl Quinn (Google) to start things off as a trio. Around episode 25, the Java Posse grew by 33 1/3% adding a fourth member, Joe Nuxoll (Apple). Tor, Carl, and Joe worked together at Sun Microsystems for a while with Dick being a major customer at the time - thus they all shared a common context. Carl and Joe overlapped for many years before at Borland in the beginning years of Java.

The Java Posse members are now all spread out in the software industry and have many different viewpoints on different aspects of Java technology. It makes for fun conversation at times! They also wear really large hats, which is the real reason that folks listen.

The First is with Brett Taylor of Google about the just-announced red-pill project (also known as the Google Web Toolkit) and the second with Greg Murray of Sun, about their new AJAX tools and support announced recently. The interviews were both short and on a common subject, so we combined them. These were recorded at Java One 2006.

Java Posse #050 - Interview with Graeme Rocher of Grails

Interview with Graeme Rocher about Grails

Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com -

Graeme is one of the founders, and also the current project lead, of Grails (formerly Groovy on Rails), a high level, open source, web application framework built on coding by convention principles (like Ruby on Rails)

Again the sound quality of this interview is not as good as we would have liked. We had to fall back on the skype recording due to no fault of anyone involved - sometimes it just works out that way. However the speech is clear and the content (thanks to Graeme) is first rate.

Groovy - the language of Grails

http://groovy.codehaus.org/

Groovy features:

Groovy Markup for XML, DOM, ...
Groovy Path expression language
Groovlets for implementing Servlets easily in simple Groovy scripts
Ant Scripting
Groovy Categories allow you to add methods to classes with the "use" keyword
Groovy Template Engines which are pluggable, simple to use, integrate GPath and compile to bytecode
Groovy SQL for making SQL more Groovy

Grails homepage

Installation
