A History of Free and Open Source

Here is the interesting series at groklaw : The History of Free and Open Source, by Peter H. Salus.

Very interesting, I am waiting to read the book completely.

Among other things, now I am using Liferea for reading news feeds a wonderful tool to read the news and keep yourself updated. You can get it from here. One of the best features is it silently sits in the system-tray of Gnome and updates in the back-end. Once it finds new posts/news the icon gets brigter. So, no need to keep the application open, and refresh every time.

Blogging from Desktop

Here is my first blog from my Linux Desktop! I am blogging through the gnome-blog applet. This applet seems to use the blogger SOAP RPC API. I am going to give it a shot by writing a desk-top blogpost in Java, let us see how far I can go with it.

What's New

It's been some time since I posted to the blog .. here is what happening at my end:

* Instant Messaging Server (Jabber).
* eGroupware (online collaboration suite ).

Both of them are installed on my machine which will be serving as the internal server for my Team (QDM R&D).

And in the Java side, I previously designed the server of my product using JMS Messaging , for inter-module communication. Now after learning JMX and JBoss architecture I am moving towards JMX..

More details sooooon .....
