Good luck Rich!

Add some hills (inclines on TM) and weight training and you’ll see a big difference in pace & endurance.

Happy running,
Arun

Comment on Oracle and the Java Opportunity by Ryan

I work at a software company that builds everything on Microsoft technologies. I introduce Java back in 2005 and got some people interested, but ultimately I have been and still am the only Java developer. They are in love with .NET, SQL Server, Windows 7, etc. and I don’t think I will ever be able to persuade them to use other technologies. When I see some .NET APIs, for example encryption, and compare to Java I am a bit envious. .NET seems to have a cleaner APIs and evolves quicker than Java. I am still focusing on Java, but my fear is that Java developers will one day make the switch to .NET. Why does Java STILL not support serial ports and USB on Windows??? Java ME seems so antiquated, it can’t compete with iPhone and Android anymore. Lets hope Sun/Oracle announces that Java FX 1.3 runs on Android and iPhone. In 2008 they showed demos of JavaFX on Android, and I saw a Sun presentation where they ran GlassFish v3 on iPhone. They could do it if they wanted to.

John, I haven’t looked at the code personally, but our guys who’ve been involved believe it’s a big improvement. Not perfect but an improvement.

Does you feel that the recently released SPECjEnterprise2010, which Red Hat helped define, more accurately reflects modern workloads?

I’m using Cyclemeter on my iPhone – it’s pretty accurate and I can listen to some tunes / a book while I’m running. The accuracy is pretty decent and it has configurable voice updates so you know what pace your at. I agree – I prefer to just go out and run and not have to stick with a known, pre-planned route.

Get yourself a GPS HRM and software like Trailrunner. This allows you to just run wherever you want and still record and visualize the results. This can be highly motivating (especially when you see progress). Also you don’t have to always do the same track, just because you know its length in advance.

The following is a track in Raleigh, that you can start just from outside the office http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?url=http://web.me.com/pilhuhn/trailrunner/J7KDER.gpx
