The Life and Programming of Cameron Crothers
Well once again me like some of my friends find it hard to actually get to the content page and add new stuff to their blogs but I think the news of the last 2 weeks really deserves a blog post. Well probably the biggest news is from this week, Merinda and I have bought [...]
Well aren’t I the lazy boy I haven’t put up a post in ages…. Well this week has been a bit stressful in getting a build ready so hopefully I can be excused. If you are a /. reader you may have heard about a small start up called blue security who had a novel [...]

Java 5 was released by Sun today. You get can get your J2SE development kit or JRE from here it’s been a long time coming but word has it that 6 will be out next year, or so says NewsForge we will see. I haven’t had a chance to acctually code anything yet but playing [...]
Surfing around today I found that the next major release of Java will not be the long awaited 1.5 but have decided to go straight for 5.0.
