  • My apologies since I'll probably be blogging about Java until Friday.

    However, I got to meet Josh Bloch, creator of "Java Puzzlers" and the
    author of "Effective Java", as well as the creator of the Collections
    framework!  I was even sitting next to him during one session and
    didn't know it until I saw him open up his Powerbook and his logon name
    said jbloch, and I was thinking, what, "why does this guy have the same
    name as Josh Bloch?"    I finally realized it was him
    when I saw him going through his slides on collections.

    Today they had book signings and I got him to sign the puzzlers book. 

    So what will I do once the conference is over?  Friday -- go to
    Fisherman's wharf, Nob Hill, and Lombard St.  Saturday -- go to
    Japantown and/or chinatown, then leave.
