Talking to the Owl

This blog never seems to stay on topic.  I guess my life can’t be rolled up into neat focused packages and I need to accept that.   When I get bored with topics, I like to think of new ones.  Spring?  Ajax?  What have I written about in the past?  Back in 2003, I wrote out my manifesto as a developer entitled, “Building an Enterprise Environment in Java with Free Software“.  My tools have evolved somewhat, Since I started diving into Spring back in 2004, I now use Spring and Dojo.  Every so often, I reference my links on Simple Tomcat setups.  I fell out of love with the Google Web Toolkit shortly after writing a Bezier spline function using it.

So here I am, looking for a new topic.  One thing I’ve thought about doing is using one of the latest Ajax toolkits to write a very simple LDAP client.  I have a business need and the (free) clients I’ve found really don’t have the kind of enterprise-robust UI that I need.
