CodeXombie.com is alive!

More Java content than I can post here

I've moved my domain, CodeXombie.com to new hosting and while I was at it I've completely rewritten the whole thing. The colours and images need some work, but it'll do for now and I'll be tidying the presentation up as time goes on.

Java Planet will continue to be the place I post code snippets, tricks and tips, while the new site will be the place for complete packages, lightweight frameworks and so on.

To start things off I've placed a link to JSpasm, which is a small but pretty complete package for developing applications based on state machines. Since JSpasm is hosted on SourgeForge.net I didn't see the point of having copies on the new site, so there's minimal information about that.

I've also put up my Lynx package. Lynx is a lightweight alternative to Struts and JSP that's designed for small web applications. It gives you complete Model/View separation, using Velocity for the presentation side. I've included a two-page tutorial to get you started. Take a look!

Java Planet is on extended vacation

No new posts for the foreseeable future, folks...

Sorry to say I don't really have the time any more to maintain two blogs. Many people evidently put blog-writing high on their priority lists, but I'm not one of those people; I write as and when I feel like it and have the time outside my other interests.

I'll leave the existing posts in place just in case anyone has them bookmarked for reference. And anyway, because I may still post occasionally as I come across interesting Java hints, tips and ideas, I have no intention of deleting the posts.

So, until such time as I have more to add, I will bid you all "Happy Java" :)

Taking a break

No post last week because we were out of town. I'm working on this coming week's post now but I'm not feeling great so it may be delayed a day or two.
