good for you. bad for them.

Bruce Eckel, author of Thinking In Java:
"Let's say that this follows the 80-20 rule. Roughly 80% of programmers don't read books, don't go to conferences, don't continue learning, don't do anything but what they covered in college. Maybe they've gotten a job in a big company where they can do the same thing over and over. The other 20% struggle with their profession: they read, try to learn things, listen to podcasts, go to user group meetings and sometimes a conference. 80% of this 20% are not very successful yet; they're still beginning, still trying. The other 20% of this 20% -- that's about 5% of the whole who are 20x more productive."

System.out.println("Jake will be skiing during JavaOne");

}
else {

System.out.println("Jake will probably be mountain biking and forgetting the fact he makes geeky posts like this one");

}

Wow,
What a fucking awesome week!
Saw Neil Gafter speak on BGGA closures, Brian Goetz on Concurrency, Cameron Purdy on scaling apps, Gavin King (what an ass), Rod Johnson, Tor Norbye, Dick Wall, Josh Bloch, got in debates about closures, and drank way too much... god damn that was a good time!

Went to the ScalaLift yesterday. Got to interact with Dick Wall, Carl Quinn, Bill Venners, Martin Odersky, and Frank Sommers. You'll be hearing alot about Scala in the next year or two.

Java Path Changed?? When client DB2 was upgraded. JDBC connections fail

Is this some code you wrote, or did you upgrade someone elses code?

The 3 likely things that could be wrong are the connection url is incorrect, the new jdbc jars are in the wrong place, or the java classpath got altered in the upgrade and in incorrect.
