Java concurrency – Multiple queue monitors

Posted by: pureessence on: June 25, 2011

At work, I’ve implemented a queue monitor batch application. Due to business rule changes, it now needs to monitor two queues. Instead of creating another batch application, I really wanted to stick with the same application but just create two threads, each monitoring its own queue.

Eclipse 3.6 freezes at startup

Posted by: pureessence on: June 23, 2011

My Eclipse 3.6 froze today at startup. I think what I did was that I clicked on the shortcut a bit too fast and two instances of Eclipse started running at the same time. I got an error message for one saying “workspace in use”. I killed the one that showed the error message but [...]

Our Las Vegas Vacation

Posted by: pureessence on: June 4, 2011

We stayed at the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas from May 27th – June 3rd, 2011. The Favorite Thing: The climate. It’s just crazy to think you do not sweat after miles of walking in 90 degree weather because it’s not humid. My skin looks gorgeous here. There is no road construction because the [...]
