The Book Exists, I’ve Seen It (Almost)
We’re late, we’re late! And yet we are still working on Filthy Rich Clients, the book based on the presentation based on the draft of the book based on the presentation based on a previous presentation. And there’s a proof below, the first page of the book, as it will probably look like when printed. [...]
Java Posse #122 Photos
A few photos from the recording of the 122nd episode of the Java Posse. The recording took place at Verisign, during a gathering of the Silicon Valley Web JUG. I apologize for the quality of the pictures, next time I’ll do a better job with the flash (damn you hats!)

Your Banner Here?
You may have noticed that a badge recently appeared on top of this page, over the SwingLabs banner. I already received a couple of requests regarding this offer and I want to make clear that everyone knows about the details. I want to promote projects, preferrably Swing related, that I like by offering a few [...]
Extreme GUI Makeover 2007 Video #1
Download the first video of Extreme GUI Makeover 2007, presented at JavaOne. This video shows what happens when an exception is thrown internally. This effect was inspired by applications that display cryptic error messages meant for programmers only. Because those messages usually expose the internals of the application, we thought it would be a good [...]

We had a really great time and I took the opportunity to take a few shots of everybody. Unfortunately, I was distracted by the conversation because only [...]
Adobe Customer Service
I am trying to purchase a license of Adobe Creative Suite 3, and more specifically Adobe Photoshop 3. Because I am still a student, I am technically entitled to purchase an education license of various Adobe products. As usual, and that’s perfectly normal, there are certain restrictions to this. My problem is the following: I [...]
