Mon May 16 13:09:40 2005 GMT: Winchester, Bournemouth and London
Last week I have added some pictures of Winchester, Bournemouth and London (here and here) from my few days of holiday at the end of April to my photo album.
Thu May 05 16:33:23 2005 GMT: Solaris 10
Today I finally managed to successfully complete my Solaris 10 installation (after my first attempt failed about three months ago).
I cowardly worked around the missing SATA support by connecting a plain old IDE drive. This enabled me to run through the installation process and get it installed, but it still didn't support my network adapter (which is an onboard RTL8169 chip). Fortunately, I found a working driver on Masayuki Murayama's site.
BTW, when logging in you can choose between a CDE and a Java Desktop System session. The interesting thing here is that when you choose the Java Desktop System, you see lots of Java icons scattered around, like a "Java Launch" bar or a Web browser with a Java logo. Of course, that doesn't mean that all of this software is actually written in Java. It's merely a GNOME desktop (with Mozilla being used as a Web browser) which has been rebranded with some Java icons.

Now that the ACCU conference is over, I am taking a few days holiday before returning to Austria.
For no particular reason, I decided to travel to Bournemouth (via Winchester, where I walked around the city for some time). BTW, I am staying at The Hostel Inn which offers free wireless internet access in your room.
Sun Apr 24 16:56:19 2005 GMT: ACCU Conference 2005, Day 3 and 4
So, what happend on the final two day's of the ACCU conference?
Of course, there is no way to top these in-depth presentations by Stroustrup and Sutter on the previous two days. But Ottosen tried his best to keep the high standard with his presentations of the current Design by Contract proposal for C++0x and the Boost range and pointer container libraries.
There was also a presentation on "What's New in EJB 3.0", but it only attracted a small audience (it seems that Java guys really had a hard time on this conference).
Oh, there is one more thing I should note: Coplien told us in his keynote on Friday to break symmetry (because broken symmetry is beauty, etc.), and on Saturday one of Kevlin Henney's main points was to make things symmetric (to keep it simple, etc.).
Thu Apr 21 16:52:47 2005 GMT: ACCU Conference 2005, Day 2
Today, there were lots of presentations about the future of C++, what will be in the next version of the standard and what might end up in the next version of the standard (which should be ready in 2009). Bjarne mostly talked about concepts, but also mentioned template aliases and implicitely typed variables (decltype and auto).
Sutter was concerned in his presentation with the state of multithreading support in programming languages (C++ currently doesn't have any support at all, but also Java and .NET didn't get it right).
Abrahams presented rvalue references and move semantics which will most likely end up in the next version of the C++ standard.
