for those java programming geeks out there, or people like me who just use it to pay the bills, you may find this interesting. coyote gulch (aka scott ladd) has released a new version of jisp (java indexed serialization package). in short it’s a portable platform independent database. very cool if your writing an application that needs a fast in memory storage solution or a structured querying language processor without the overhead of a huge database like oracle or sybase. the uses are endless if you really think about it. thanks to bski for the link.
