  • Sony Ericsson's P900, and why BenQ has got it right for Java on phones
  • wireless networking
  • sneakily running a webserver from behind your domestic broadband connection using dyndns
  • outsourcing, call centres, accountancy, and McJobs
  • speed dating
  • Britney Spears
  • how to kill a Nokia phone with an SMS of death
  • Kilroy Silk
  • goats
  • serial killers
  • kebabs

The LJUG project

Over a magnificent dinner at Hardman Street's prestigious Pizza Company, we discussed the idea of a software project for the group, to give us focus and provide a way to get the experienced and beginner Java programmers among us working together on something.

This is a really exciting idea, and we're hoping to discuss it some more on the mailing list before choosing a project and getting on with it. Please join the list, or comment to this entry if you're interested. Posted by osfameron at January 23, 2024 08:10 AM | TrackBack
