Feed Description: I've been inescapably tagged as "the Java guy", despite the fact that I havn't worked in the Java product organization for a couple of years (I do still kibbitz). These days I work at Sun's research lab about two thirds of the time, and do customer visits and talks the other third. For more detail...
I'm migrating my weblog from the simple ftp-based filesystem blog that I
had been using on today.java.net to the Roller based blogging engine on
blogs.sun.com. My original blog got started before the modern
infrastructure got set up. My new blog is at http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/jag
But the going has been more than slightly rocky: those wiser than I
think I'm slightly nuts. The meta weblog / xmlrpc is reputed to be more
than slightly rocky: images have low performance and entry dates and
titles cannot be manipulated. As one of the folks I've been talking with
has said: "if one were of a cynical streak of mind one might think it had
been designed to make sure that you could not do anything" through xmlrpc
rather than the web page interface
But I figure that it'll be a good experiment in seeing how it all hangs
together. The simple filesystem based infrastructure that I had been
using was very simple and efficient, and gave me total freedom in page
layout. But it didn't have some of the other stuff that comes with
having an intelligent server. We'll see.
