So I got my talk accepted for JavaZone this year (Norwegian description and link). Scary and exciting.
I’ve got lot’s to say but structuring it all is hard, so I’m reading up on an article about presenting that I got from my brother. One of the first things it says to to is define [...]

So last week I was lucky enough to attend XP2010 in Trondheim. It was an intense week with great people and great content. It’s kind of hard to process all this content, but it’s time to try.
After listening to the excellent advice of Ole Christian I attended the workshop of Chris Matts on Feature Injection [...]

Since I started working way back in the summer of 2004 I’ve been working with ORM technologies. First TopLink, and then Hibernate. I like ORM technology, but I also see the associated problems. They are incredibly complex products, and not having some resources that really understands what is happening will get you into serious trouble. [...]

I’m not a very scientific person. Actually I’m probably quite un-academic in my approach towards software development. There are a lot of stuff I consider essential that havn’t really been proven, but I won’t stop doing it just because of that. It might be a weakness, but this field is also way too complex for [...]

My JavaZone talks are available. Sorry, only in Norwegian. I’ve scanned through them and I’m fairly satisfied with the performance. Looks like the Rules engine talk doesn’t have video of us up on the stage. Not sure what happened.
I’ll have to go through them for a little retrospective later. Let me know if you have [...]

So the big event for Java geeks in Oslo, JavaZone, is over. I had a blast as always, and a little less people. Moving the overflow area helped a lot. The less people was a conscious choice I’ve been told, and I wouldn’t really mind even fewer. But hey, I guess there’s some economics that [...]

I have a new post on this. Go here: http://blog.f12.no/wp/2010/08/06/redommended-android-applications/
I have had my HTC Magic for a little over a month eight months now. I’m still satisfied, though I’m contemplating getting a Google Nexus One next year. I’ve updated my apps list below. Not all of them are necessary for handsets like Hero, but I’m [...]

Wow, it’s been a while. If you’re interested in good links follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/anderssv . I usually update there these days.
My talk on “Agile deployment” got accepted for JavaZone this year! I’m extremely happy, but a bit scared too. I’ll be talking about rolling out changes in a controlled manner, and [...]
