SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY!
11.26.09

This is some vintage Craig (and technically not even a self portrait).

And I'm hugging her pet turkey!

SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY! 11.26.09

At last nights Eclipse Demo Camp London the European Director of Eclipse Foundation inc, Ralph Mueller, did a great presentation on why Eclipse is different to other open source projects such as Apache or MySql !

It turns out that Eclipse is actually an Ecosystem !

If you weren't there last night then you might like to go to Eclipse Demo Camp Hamburg next month !
