I have the habit of opening up pages I intend to check out with "Open Link in New Tab" in FireFox. As a result, I constantly manage to overflow and end up doing a brain dump like this blog entry. A bit like... Darn. Apparently one side-effect of this is that every now and then I remember an earlier blog entry by someone on my 130+ member blogroll -- on a tab I already closed -- but can't remember anymore who it was that blogged about such a thing. In this case, that someone was talking about how he recently went into the vicious cycle of The Laundry Pile and couldn't get out until he took the whole pile to a laundry service. If you feel like going through my blogroll on the right-hand side, looking for that particular blog entry, and if you find it, please let me know. Oh, and I'm not 100% sure if it was actually someone on my blogroll or someone whose blog was linked to from a blog of someone on my blogroll. Confusing enough?

So, without further delay... Part 2 of my Cheap Clone of Erik's Linkblog for Agile Java Developers!

Joe has managed to express the dilemma of 100% code coverage quite well and managed to use the phrase "pissing away money". Quite impressive.

Michael Harmer, the Nerdherder, has posted three excellent aphorisms on software development.

Pip has posted his 4th lesson, which -- unfortunately -- strikes gold with regard to my current project (in which I'm still not able to participate in coding...).

Perryn Fowler managed to revive my interest towards Agitator.

Matt Albrecht has been playing around with JUnit and IoC. An interesting combo...

Matt Snyder, Cedric and Jason van Zyl have been discussing about writing with a plain text tool set and lead me to discovering yet another CodeHaus project that has absolutely no documentation whatsoever. Dammit.

Dan Creswell, who usually blogs about Jini/JavaSpaces stuff, wrote about "thinking in the small" (project awareness, bliss of denial, that sort of things).

Someone mentioned jBehave in a blog entry (see, it happened again!) that made me think real hard if I should come up with my own programming language called "O" (that's "oh", not zero). Why? Because then someone could port jBehave into oBehave ;)

Also, I just took a look at iBatis SQL Maps for the first time and I certainly like what I see. Note that I haven't yet verified my initial gut feeling with actual code. Maybe I'll get around to do that and write up the experience.
