Get a version of Apache Commons Collections released for Java 1.5
Only so much a non-committer can do 5 months ago

I tried submitting patching, and creating activity on the mailing lists. The fact is, the reason why Apache Commons doesn’t have a 1.5 version is not technical, nor due to a lack of dedicated people, but rather, those who can commit are not actively involved. I started on a new collections framework, modeled very closely to Ruby’s collections. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the time to put it in place, or even get it feature complete.


Upgrade to OS X Leopard
Christmas gift 6 months ago

I received the upgrade from my brother & Grandma for Christmas. I did the default upgrade and it ran seamlessly, although I did have to clean up some HD space.

I really enjoy that front row can be launched w/o the remote control, and that it has a nice new look.
