Procrastination and JavaOne 2010: See you in 2011!

Posted by: Howard Lewis Ship on 03/15/2010

Well, that's what I get for waiting until the last day ... by the time I had a chance to put together a submission or two for JavaOne 2010, the site was down (from about 10pm on). Kind of frustrating, I was looking forward to talking about Tapestry and Clojure (my main speaking staples) in front of another big crowd.
