AgaveBlue Musings

Musings are my way of blogging about all things Java, Linux, and OSS.

Watch me as I pull out my soapbox, step up onto it with my bullhorn in hand, and rant and rave about all things Java, Linux, or Open Source Software. What is broken? What could be done better? Why will something never catch on? What I see other developers doing and why they shouldn't be doing it that way!

Add a little tequila...     
...to your Java
