This year I attended the JavaOne at Novotel HICC Hyderabad. I attended mainly the sessions on Java. J2EE, and JavaFX, with a bit of extremely innovative enhancements to Oracle DB sessions. Here's the main takeaways from the sessions I attended: 1. Lambda operator and closure coming to JDK8. This is an outright change, a change to all the 4k+ classes in the java libraries. Code will become simpler, neater, and also improve in performance. This is not just a cosmetic sugar coating change, there have been performance improvements as well with these new features. 2. Going by their philosophy of less boiler plate code (which also includes the closure introduction), they have introduced simpler ways to code and work with various J2EE components like the JMS2.0, etc. 3. JavaFX can now be programmed from any of the languages that run on JVM, such as Groovy, Scala, Clojure, etc. I was amazed by the language Groovy! even learning it our of my own interest :) 4. A brand new JavaScript engine...

1. X11 Login issue on Fedora Ever encountered a login problem on Fedora? The graphical login screen gets stuck, refreshes, and always comes back to the login screen, even when you entered the correct credentials? If yes, then you might also be facing an issue same as I faced, on my fully setup, customized Fedora 17 XFCE spin! I tried my luck many times. The command line login session (Ctrl+Alt+F# key) works flawlessly though. The issue is only with the graphical login. I got an error once when my repeated trials: Could not create ICE listening socket: Cannot establish any listening sockets" Fedora Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=829324 Solution: Try login in to the command line session (press Ctrl+Alt+F3 Key for example). Clear the X11 graphics lock rm - r / tmp /. X11 - unix / tmp /. ICE - unix / tmp /. X0 - lock     But, this might not work! It did not work for me. I have posted a comment on the above open redhat bug. Update...

I recently bought a domain for myself at bhaskarghosh.in , and created my first wordpress driven blog cum site there. I have been, since then, fighting with my wits, to stop duplicatability of efforts and naturally of posts and resources. But, I can simply not leave the beautiful look and feel of Google's Blogger, even when wordpress.org gives me much more control. Please visit my new blog. I am not stopping my love for first house, but I have decided to share it with a new home. Musical Poet bhaskarghosh.in
