Listener Feedback

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!"

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 :-).

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.

AJAX Interviews

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

Two Interviews about AJAX. 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.

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.

We are trying something different this episode - the formatting gets screwed up with the shownotes through a combination of feedburner and itunes, so we decided to link straight back to the nicely formatted shownotes (the links work too). We hope this is a welcome change.

Shownotes for episode 25 - Newscast for 1/12/2006 and Anniversary Special

This is not a typical podcast for us (again). With Dick our news hound being on the road, we were a bit weak on the news items. On the other hand, we got to see him in person and we all had a grand old time recording live in the same room. Plus, we have a secret guest.

The main topics that we cover are the Developer.com awards, new goodies from Apple and a few tidbits from Dicks visit at Sun.

Shownotes for episode 23 - Holiday Special

This is not a typical podcast for us. The last week has not yielded
much in the way of Java news, and so we decided to do a geek session,
just talking about tech in general, podcasts, hype from this year,
predictions for next year, that sort of thing. There is a little java
sprinkled in there, but there is also a lot of other stuff. If you only
want to hear the java stuff - skip this one, on the other hand if you
are interested in our non-java personas, dive straight in and enjoy.

Shownotes for Episode #009 - Interview with Josh Bloch of Google

Josh Bloch is a well known Java visionary and speaker. In addition to his numerous contributions to the JDK, which include the Java util collections library, he has served on a number of JSRs such as 166 (Concurrency Utilities), 175 (Metadata, or annotations) and 201 (Enumerations, Autoboxing, the new for loops and static importing). Josh has also written two books on Java: "Effective Java" (which won a jolt award), and "Java Puzzlers" (the latter with Neal Gafter). He currently works for Google having moved there from Sun after the release of Java 5.

Please Note: We know the audio quality of this episode is perhaps not the best, but the quality of the content more than makes up for it. Sometimes you are simply limited by what Skype can do. Everything is audible, and the volume is as even as we could make it.

Shownotes

We have had a lot of feedback requesting more information for Java beginners,
and there is enough material here for a little beginners section of the news:

  • The Java Posse would like to thank:
    • Chingon with Malaguena Salerosa from the Kill Bill 2 soundtrack for today's theme music
    • Libsyn.com for podcast hosting and bandwidth
    • Feedburner.com for feed redirection and stats
    • Kirsty Doherty for the Java Posse artwork
    • And all of you for listening

Many people have asked about iTunes for the Java Posse, and the submission is in so hopefully we will be listed in the directory any day now. In the meantime, there is a simple way to get iTunes to pick up the Java Posse podcast now:

First, copy the following link into your clipboard:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/javaposse
Then open iTunes, and in the Advanced menu select Subscribe to Podcast...

In the window that comes up, paste the link from above and hit OK. You should now be subscribed to the Java Posse in iTunes.

While this will work, I would ask anyone who does this to keep an eye on the site for changes, and when the iTunes entry is finally up to switch to that, as iTunes measures the popularity of podcasts only through it's own directory and will not pick up the numbers using the link provided here.

Thanks
