High Traffic

Need a high-traffic feed with news from the Java community (& hangers-on like me!) - look no further than PlanetJava. (and it's a big "hi" to all sentient life-forms out there, and to the rest of you - keep evolving the VB, guys).

Sun Bloggers List Updated

Just a quick note to say there have been a few additions and changes on the list of Bloggers@Sun, obviously adding Tim Bray but also adding Onno Kluyt and Geoff Arnold and updating the link to Patrick Chanezon to point to his active writing.

Rumsfeld lies on camera

Donald Rumsfeld, US Defence Secretary: "You and a few other critics are the only people I have heard use the phrase 'immediate threat' - I didn't, the President didn't and it's become kind of folklore ... if you have any citations I'd like to see them"

Rumsfeld is then read two citations of he himself using that phrase to describe Saddam Hussein.

Spin is one thing. Being caught on national TV telling lies about something so important is another. How can he survive this politically? [thanks, Liz]
