Random stuff:

1. There's huge demand for (good) Java programmers. (Live in Adelaide, want a job & know Java? Contact me… Also, I'm still looking for an XUL person.)
2. Javascript might be the next big language, and while everyone claims they can program in Javascript what they mean is that they know how to pop-up an alert box in a browser window. That isn't programming! (Live in Adelaide and know AJAX and possible a bit of Java? Contact me….)
3. Spring is good.
4. Doing estimates for a project when there are no requirements is difficult.
5. Doing estimates for a (different) project when the functionality, resources and timeline are all fixed is very difficult.
6. Social networking.. there's just too much to write on that topic.
