It was a Happy & fruitful Weekend and fun too. A very useful information on net . As I am a Internet geek! being on line past two days my Firefox browser jammed with more than 30+ tabs!!

One of the exciting thing which I enjoyed a lot was while visiting Sun Microsystems Second Life Sim Sun Pavilion.
It consists of 2 sims. First sim consists of main entrance to the Sim were everyone can watch the Main Pavilion hall & look into the company product,services,books and a theater called ‘Andromeda Theater’ were periodic meetings are conducted . This room also provides free stuffs like Shirts,Jeans, bags and of course! Duke!!!. There is a Wonderful Museum on the first floor wherein you can walk and read the posters on the wall. This gives the history of the company. Its a glass house quiet bright and transparent. Another building in the same Sim is the Sun Hardware Solutions, here you find servers, computers etc of Sun which is informative.

The second sim consists of some more cool stuff!. Club Java for regular party events, Sun Services speaks about Suns IT services, Customer Training rooms were each one of us learn about Sun Trainings,coming to the main hall we can know about Suns Open Eco Projects. Sim also provides free to use Sand Box ground. If you are a builder & interested in building you have tutorials to build items in Second life.
It’s really a fabulous & a cool place to visit & looks very realistic, you have a Transport at each point to navigate at all place.

During my visit to the Sim I met 3 java guys. All are from different parts of the world but all come here with one cause called Java!. We chat for a while in Club Java and share our ideas, myself came to know about JavaFx, Project Wonderland and Jmonkey Server Game server. An area to gain knowledge about new technologies which inspired me to write and post in my website for free download to learn these tools.

One sad news is that I was new to this place and missed an exciting event held on May. Hope I will not miss any event from now & henceforth . Further updates on other Java related SL you can join the following groups for Sun SL Events and meetings.

Java Users’ Group (SLJUG)
Sun Developer Network
Sun Microsystems News

Important thing!
Do not forget to take your own Tommy Car!. I already have one!! & also the Mini Duke! which roles, drinks coffee, waves hand etc on your shoulder. Its a nice SL pet!

If you have any Experience like this in Sun Pavilion please post here.

I have been asked periodically from my readers who are eager to learn Groovy / Grails article. My apologize for article not being published properly. I will soon publish that series of article & post on Gant in my next article.

I found an interesting, wonderful and useful site (tool) on the web. It is “Google Reader”, a beta version from Google.

I am lazy to browse updates in web sites, mainly news related stuff. I forget to read updated news when I browse the net. Google Reader makes this simple. GR is based on a new tool on web, called RSS Feeds and comes in three versions.

Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)
RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)
Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)

GR is like a newsletter with all updates information. Wait!! Do not get scared that, this will come to your Inbox every day. However, it works similar to a newsletter.

RSS Feed uses XML (eXtensible Markup Language) technology. Single / many RSS feed files are available in any site (say a news site). You need to subscribe this feeds to your RSS Feed Reader or Aggregator. Then, whenever you log in to it, GR takes you to that site and fetches the new updated feed from the RSS feed and displays those items, which you have not read.

Today, most of the sites are providing this facility. Many free tools (RSS Feed Reader/Aggregator) are also available on net to read these RSS Feeds.

Google Reader promises; Simple, User friendly and Scalable interface.

Google Reader provides online Aggregator.

To access Google Reader, it is not required to have Google account!

Even if you do not have Gmail id, you can use Google Reader.

Go to http://reader.google.com/

A wonderful Flash demo is available on ‘How to use Google Reader’ by Andy Wibbels. Do not forget to switch on your speaker.

http://andywibbels.com/flash/google_reader.htm

for testing you can use my blog RSS feeds.

Computers, Internet

Yesterday i am going throught the articel Semantic Breakthrough in magazing Oracle Magazine.

it says

By any measure, the World Wide Web is an immense success, helping everybody from preschoolers to CEOs share information, simplify research, and conduct business online. Still, many researchers aren’t happy with the state of Web technology. They think that something is missing: intelligence.

I am not sure how far this will be a good to discover. If you see this issue in one angle its really useful. but if you see another side of the coin. this be a illegal to grab info easily “without any stress”. YES i agree there are some website grabbers to download the whole site. but this mails the people so easy to get valuable info’s very very easily.
