who needs social life when you have broadband?

Today I’ve finished migrating JGroups-ME to version 2.4.1sp4 of JGroups. I’ve also finished porting the GossipRouter (created a MobileGossipRouter midlet that initializes it) and now we have a 100% mobile group communication toolkit which allows the creation of group communication systems for mobile computing!

Next step is to implement Bluetooth support (I’ll do this just after I finish writing my paper about JGroups-ME) and submit my version to the JGroups project so they can take a look and (maybe) commit to the official JGroups-ME version.

more on this subject soon. please stay tunned ;P

Hello!

This week I started in a new company as a web developer (still working with PHP and mainly with Joomla!, which is not bad but not that challenging…). Christian has also switched jobs and now he is a Java developer (at least he has left Delphi behind, which is good news). I would like to tell you that our distributed hash cracking system (aka Bifröst) is in “sleep” mode until we find some time to re-activate it.

I’ve presented a technical session at the Joomla!Day Brazil which occurred in São Paulo on the 11th. My plane got a 22 hours delay which were not funny at all. The event was great but unfortunately I had missed half of it :/ It is always nice to speak about new geeky features to an excited audience…

My new job is allowing me to create some really cool stuff with JQuery, Ajax and Flash. And I have plenty of time to keep this blog up to date.

I don’t remember if i’ve mentioned this before, but I’m also trying to add Bluetooth capability to the great JGroups. DIdn’t have much success so far. As many of you are new visitors, I was wondering if anyone knows how to do multicast with Bluetooth (someone told me I’ll need a PAN Profile enabled device, but for now I just would like to test it on simulators). I’ve been trying to find answers and help in the Java community but didn’t get many insights. I don’t care to implement it on my on I just would like to know if it hasn’t been implement by someone before.

anyway.. if you have any suggestion/sample/idea to share, please get in touch.
