2011 summarized
- It's been a very busy year
- Still working for CFL and enjoying it very much
- Now living in a much nicer house (not damp! luxury!)
- Still helping balance the books for St Columba's
Oh, and let's check on the outcome of that 2011 geek wishlist...
- That Debian Squeeze will release in Q1 2011
Granted, and all my machines have been upgraded.
- That I’ll discover a J2EE Servlet Container which isn’t totally horrible
Tomcat 7 is a considerable improvement over its predecessors.
- That some kind of reconciliation between the JCP and Apache will occur
Nope.
- That Java 7 won’t be delayed forever
Partial victory: it's arrived, but most of the interesting new features will only be in Java 8.
- That Python 3 will get adopted faster than PHP 5 or Java 1.5 did
Probably still to early to say.
- That we’ll finally see some major UK ISPs offering IPv6
Not a sausage, as far as I'm aware.
Merry Christmas all.
