Just downloaded the "Windows Live Writer" , to hopefully allow me to update my blog more often..looks to be a very good program.

Fault Tolerance with Open Source and JVM Clustering

Fault Tolerance with Open Source and JVM Clustering
— Many in the Open Source community (including the camps following Tomcat, Geronimo, Struts, Spring, and Hibernate) have chosen to focus on solving problems of developer efficiency and software elegance, and are sometimes forced to leave production operating characteristics such as HA (high availability)/fault tolerance and central management control for future releases. Or, in some cases, the elegance of the framework stems from its lightweight nature and thus the user community as a whole can't be made to suffer the complexities of clustering and HA for the needs of the few.

Second in the world buddy..

 

Surprise, Surprise….My new position doesn’t require me to code as much as I use to...., so I found my self answer questions from fellow developers just before work, and sometimes in the evening on “TheServerSide”..to keep my “skills” sharp!

looks like I came in second in all posters in the world this week !!!! They should give out prizes…
...Over a million people come to this site..i wonder how many "views" this profile will get now???

 


Its been a good ride! Went down to Richmond to drop off my favorite automobile to my folks!, I hope they drive it with the top down! 

Go Colts!

It Is Better To Be Alone, Than In The Wrong Company

It Is Better To Be Alone, Than In The Wrong Company

Tell me who your best friends are and I will tell you who you are. If
you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate
with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights.

"A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by
the kind of friends he chooses." The simple but true fact of life is
that you become like those with whom you closely associate - for the
good and the bad. The less you associate with some people, the more your
life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it
increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people
is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people.

As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not
want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends
that don't help you climb will want you to crawl. Your friends will
stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don't increase you
will eventually decrease you.

Consider this: Never receive counsel from unproductive people. Never
discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the
solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to
tell you how.

Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to
get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong
person. Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere. With some people
you spend an evening: with others you invest it.

Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of
life. Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right
friendships.
