Registration for JBoss World started today, and I took a few minutes out of our internal company sessions to run up and get my conference kit. Every attendee gets a JBoss backpack. It's surprisingly nice. If I hadn't just bought a new one last week in Chicago, I'd be thrilled to have gotten. Still, it is nice and
The backpack contains all the conference materials. It is very nice to see some of the new company collateral for the first time. It was also nice to see an excerpt from the JBoss 4.0 Application Server Guide in print. Sam's is publishing the 4.0 book, and they've done a good job of producing the book and making it look sharp in print.
We also have JBoss Rubik's cubes. I'm a collector of puzzles, especially Rubik's puzzles. My favorites are my Rubik's Perpetual Calendar and Rubik's Revenge, but I've got a soft spot for the plain old cube that I learned all those years ago. Unfortunately, these are the blue/green cubes and not the blue/white cubes I learned on, so I was struggling just to get 60 second solves. That's a far cry from the 20 second solves the guys on the speed solving list get, but it will have to do for now. I was never able to break the 40 second mark anyways. By the way, I hear Marc Fleury is pretty handy with a cube too. Hmm... Maybe we need a cube solving showdown after the conference.
