I just added yet another blog to my growing collection of personal blogs. I have been toying with the rules for a German old school roleplaying system that I want to publish via Lulu.com at some point in Spring (as soon as I am done). In order to provide a focussed coverage of that topic I have added my Hexer & Helden blog. Enjoy!
We just watched 2012 by Roland Emmerich. This movie was truly inspiring. Wanna know more? Read on. And if you work in Hollywood: Read the end of this post - 2012 provided me with an idea that will help Hollywood a lot more money than it already does and it even might help to create a brighter future for mankind.
I just watched the video about the new iMac displays and was quite enthralled by the display… and then I discovered something neat at about two minutes in the video which activated some beautiful memories…

Agim Emruli from SpringSource and Papick Taboada from pgt technology scouting GmbH are going to present the latest news about the SpringSource dm server, especially related to Java EE development and more lightweight deployment approaches.

Eberhard Wolff is going to present both the new features of Spring 3.0 as well as the next steps in Spring development. While I’m not very interested in 3.0 (hey, we at QuinScape developed with Spring 3.0 poster in cooperation with Eberhard Wolff and Software & Support) I’m always looking forward to new tidbits of information about the next versions - and this is a nice warmup early in the morning

Frank Pientka from Materna, another company from Dortmund, will report about CouchDB as a document oriented databased optimized for REST access. Since QuinScape is employing Sven Helmberger, maintainer of the JCouchDB open source project and we recently had an internal TechTalk about CouchDB and JCouchDB I was looking forward to see what other companies are doing with this exciting new technology.

Carsten Ziegeler is going to present the basic concepts behind Java Content Repositories, the features of version 2 of the standard and its use as a potential alternative to classical database approaches. Since I often work with less structured data and web applications (and their respective CMS requirements) I’m curious about the new JCR features. Our last internal talk abou JCR at QuinScape was about two years ago - so some things probably will have happened.

Adam Bien is going to talk about the future of Enterprise Java. As we as QuinScape switched (mostly) to Spring in order to avoid the hassle of Enterprise Java and provide more benefit for less money to our customers I am looking forward to Adams statement since he is really one of those guys who just “get Enterprise Java”. I just wish Sun would have had more luck with that technology as a whole…
