Kissin’ two old pals goodbye

After being an Astronomy and Sky & Telescope reader for almost two decades, most likely I won’t be renewing my three-year subscription to Sky & Telescope which is due to expire in March 2011.

DEVOXX 2008

Ok, I know: I should have written this post more than a month ago. But I’ve been very busy lately and I have to process my backlog of work, including new updates to this website. After all, they say better late than never So, here we go: the 2008 edition of the Devoxx conference (formely JavaPolis: by the way, why the heck did Sun have this name changed?) was held (as usual) in Antwerp, Belgium, from December 10th to 12th, […]
