Rolling right along.

Lance and I have been doing some Roller work this week. Lance has been working on improving theme editing/switching and pluggable persistence. I have been working on improving Roller's referer tracking capabilities. Also, I ripped out Roller's lame little logging interface org.roller.Logging and replaced it with Jakarta Commons Logging.

Eclipse 2.1 M4 out of memory!

I moved over to Eclipse 2.1 M4 recently and, for the most part, it has been working great. However, I have to restart it every hour or two because it keeps on running out of memory.

Loving what you do.

If you don't love what you do, then <a href= "http://rc3.org/cgi-bin/less.pl?arg=4796">Rafe is probably not going to hire you. He wants passion. He wants you to love what you do. I have to agree. When I'm involved in interviewing prospective developers, I look for the geeks: people with a passion for software development, learning, and exploring new ideas. I once heard of a developer who was asked the interview question "what do you like about software development?" and responded "that is like asking me what I like a about breathing." That is what I want to hear. Passion and enthusiasm are usually attibutes of people who are <a href= "http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000073.html">smart, and get things done.
