I am at JavaPro Live! in San Diego doing a presentation titled: "AOP-Driven Services: Achieve Modularity and Reusability on the J2EE Platform" (the talk is 3:15 on Thursday Sept 14:th). If you are attending the conference, stop by and say hi.

I just finished rewriting the master template for the slides to follow a terra-cotta based color scheme. ;-)

This is actually my second week as a Terracotta employee and I am looking forward to the upcoming months. We are currently sketching on some very interesting new stuff, among other things, stuff tied to transparent runtime environments. More on that later.

I will, from now on, spend a lot of time in San Francisco, so if you are in the area, drop me an email and I will buy you a beer :-)

Just a warning: If it turns out that you have not tried Terracotta's Virtualization Server and its Distributed Shared Objects (DSO), you will most likely here me rambling about that it is The way of doing distributed programming in Java (e.g. clustering and caching) and why you have to give it a try.
