Mergere vs Maven
So Maven 2.0 was sharted out recently by that grand posse of intellectual giants that make up the employees of Mergere. It promises speed, agility, and is probably even better than ruby. Along the way, Mergere also revamped its website to include more marketoid content, and a more serious attempt at sounding at least relevantly ridiculous, as opposed to merely spastic in a vague and unspecified context.
The trouble is, it’s still impossible to find out what these people do. if you ask anyone ‘in the know’, you’d be reassured that it’s not ‘just’ maven 2 and yet another tawdry attempt at a continuous integration product. They provide ‘more’, for some unspecified and suitably arm-wavy value of ‘more’.
Wisely missing from the dubious offerings at hand is a price list. Fear not though, someone seems to have accidentally said the wrong thing to the wrong reporter, and we now know that Mergere’s price starts at $25k. So what does this actually buy you? Well, it’s very unclear. It does guarantee you entry into the rather dubious league of brain damaged product purchasers, for one thing. You’d probably still feel inferior to your fellow league members though, as you’re unlikely to even get a shiny box or CD for all your hard earned greenbacks. Seriously though, has anyone paid these monkeys for anything? Is anyone even thinking of it? Please step up so we can all point and laugh.
According to the website though, you will get ‘help with maven’. So basically, Mergere’s goal is to help you use maven. Except of course that if Maven is indeed as great as said naive wankstains insist, then why on earth would you need to pay someone to tell you how to use it?
There seems to be a very culty freakish community of ex-jboss people floating around who keep spinning their wheels doing stupid things. I realise that I’m probably lumping in a lot of different people (many of whom had nothing to do with jboss), but it’s bizarre that all the guys involved in Geronimo/maven/smattering of codehaus dangleberries/simula labs/logicblaze seem to be, well, in bed with one another. The fact that 15 minutes into a Geronimo talk the speaker starts discussing maven is rather disturbing. Exactly how many appserver presentations spend their time saying how great ant is? Is that the best they have to offer? Surely there’s more than a mildly disturbing jbossian inferiority complex?
Speaking of Geronimo, does anyone else find it hilarious that IBM has taken a big fat unlubricated shiny black object and stuck it into some strictly one-way orifices? The entry level, worst of the worst, cheapo piece of crap dogshit appserver they offer now is something that builds on Geronimo. The crack addicts in the Apache camp might view this as a good thing, but really, the message the rest of us are getting is ‘don’t touch geronimo with a barge-pole, it’s not even good enough for IBM to give away for free without having to build a bunch of stuff on top to make it useful enough’. Presentations are now spearheaded by IBM lackeys, and developers are (quite rightfully, given the intellectual acumen of the people involved) being shoved aside or trotted out for appropriate party line poopage.
It’s sad seeing so much time and effort wasted on the wrong things. It’s sad seeing the one of the prime motivations for Geronimo (according to the Geronimo book) is that ‘it’s from Apache’. It’s inexplicable how nobody seems to notice the cognitive dissonance between their ‘we don’t suffer from NIH’ chants yet spend thousands of man hours living and breathing NIH (Harmony, Geronimo being prime examples).
While I’m on a tangent utterly unrelated to my original rant, I’d like to digress even further and encourage you all to join the JCP and vote for me, I’m running again this year. All you have to do to join is fax an 11 page document, and sign in two places, hop on one foot, tweak your nose, and wave unmentionables in the general direction of Sun at specific times of the month while clad in a strategically placed pink sock. Whatever you do, please do NOT vote for a company, the Executive Committee has enough corporate representation!

Can someone here help me? They won’t accept my vote because my pink sock is gray, but I don’t have a color fax machine!??!
P.s. we paid those Mergere guys 500k for help with our builds, but Iraq still looks like a warzone … They just took the money and ran.

Hi Folks,
I can’t stand it any more – I am way too smart to let some people take all the credit in the build system arena. Therefore, I am kicking off the creation of a new build framework that I will call “ElBurro”. ElBurro will feature line-precise compile errors. I am confident that this will be the best build framework because, well face it, I am smarter than nearly all the rest of you. Also, since I am so skilled at reinvention, I am pretty sure I will have paying work while the rest of you slugs are losing your jobs to offshore companies.
Cheers!
PS: Lookie here – I am beautiful and smug.

People, lets not digress here. What H-Man is trying to say is that “Orion is the best, and I wish they didn’t reject my application to become the original Maven developer, because if they did Maven would have been a whole lot better. ” :)
Hani your posts on Maven are getting old, and you can’t really talk about how Geronimo sucks (which I believe it does and so does Maven) because you have a bias here. You are involved with the Orion guys, aren’t you?
So lets focus on things that matter in life, such as Lotus Notes Craptacular Performance and Features, Why Ruby hasn’t taken over the world?, and why is Rick Hightower never on the low down? He seems to be always posting on his blog the biggest pile of shite in the world.
I definately think Rick should get a bile post soon.
Oh and how bout the wonderful Hibernate and its continual strive to dominate world with its shitty persistence framework.

All:
Maven is great! I use it everyday at my client site and it never has any problem. Besides, it gives me a chance to write about it. I am currently working on a new book titled ‘ Mastering Maven’. Joseph Ottinger (aka u dun no me)of TSS, JDJ, …. whatever will write the preface.It will have rave reviews just like my book ‘Mastering Resin’. My book ‘Mastering Ruby’ is now on the backburner since Bruce Tate got ahead of me. I will keep you posted.

” So lets focus on things that matter in life, such as Lotus Notes Craptacular Performance and Features, …”
Right on the money, Mr. Bean ! Obviously you understand the core concerns !
I think da H-dog has not biled the Lettuce Nodes shitstack because … it is too EASY. He wants a CHALLENGE. It’s the only explanation I can think of … perhaps he is saving it for a day when energy is low and bile must be spewed quickly.
Speaking of Geronimo and IBM – frankly, if there is any way this relationship can damage the allure of the remarkably disfunctional WebSphere cash cow in the eyes of management, so that I never have to work with it again, I will be satisified. If some of the salesvolken who peddle it were to lose their lives in the process, well … you can’t make an omelet without breaking some chickens.
But why are we talking about chickens ? It’s time to vote !
Hani, I’m sorry, but Jeb Bush already has my vote. I’m still not sure how it happened, because I was pretty sure I voted for you. Those ballots are tricky, though, and the Republican-dominated legislature and the Republican Attorney General assure me that my vote actually went to Jeb … and that’s good enough for me. If you can’t trust them, who can you trust ?
November 4th, 2005 at 10:53 am
Did you see how desparate IBM is in getting people to download Geronimo? They’re giving away a plasma TV. Pathetic.

While you losers (I mean Prick & Jo) are still busy writing “Mastering Geronimo in Anger” and “Using Geronimo with AJAX”, respectively, I am already about to publish my new opus magnum: “Beyond Geronimo”. Pre-order it now at Amazon, it might be in hot demand. In a nutshell, I predict the demise of Geronimo at IBM and the resurgence of PL/1 and AD/Cycle.

Bruce Tate here – You all are absolutely right about me and my books and my technology flip-flopping. Before any of you wastes another dime on my books or a minute reading my opinions about how to ‘do technology’ read my own review of “Spring: A Developer’s Notebook” (which I published and then pulled this summer):
”
I agree with most of you…, July 26, 2005
I’m the author of this book, and I’m writing myself a one star review because you’re all right, and you deserve to know what I’m doing about it. We pushed out a book before it was ready, and let way too many errors go undiscovered. My co-author, Justin Gehtland’s blog chronicles the experience well. Let me tell you what we’re doing so it doesn’t happen again.
* We’ve just worked on a reprinting of this book with the great folks at O’Reilly.
* We’ve invested more time in the reprinting than we invested in pushing the book out to production the first time.
* O’Reilly has paid for independent reviewers to make sure that we have the code and content rock solid.
* O’Reilly has eaten the remaining books in the original printing, and will use only the reprint.
* I’ve refrained from promoting the book in public, until the reprinting was under way. I made no announcement in the usual places, even my blog.
My appologies to all readers, and O’Reilly customers. I let you down. There’s no other way to put it. This book’s quality sucked. We were overconfident after the Jolt award, and pushed it out before it was ready. If you do happen to order it, make sure that you get the reprint.
”
Let this be fair warning that I spew and print utter nonsense. Furthermore, if you waste any time or money on my rantings printed or spoken, you have only yourselves to blame. Now pardon me while I get back to my RoR tinkering and writing.

< <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Expert Witness Services
J2Life can serve as an expert witness when you need to hold another consulting practice accountable. J2Life can provide both consulting and testifying witnesses. Make sure that you consult your lawyer before consulting J2Life, as often it’s better to demonstrate that there’s no prior relationship between the expert and plaintiff or defendant.
< <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It’s unclear whether j2life is offering people who are expert at being witnesses or people who are experts at some other thing who can offer their services as witnesses (part-time, presumably, when they are not exercising their expert skills elsewhere for high rates).
Either alternative frightens me, yet opens up intriguing possibilities.
For instance, let’s say I am (hypothetically speaking, of course) a black ex-sports star accused of murdering my wife – let’s use the name ‘O. J.’ as a completely fictional psuedonym – and my lawyer – let’s use the name ‘Johnny’ as, again, a completely fictional name for convenience – can I call up j2life and get me a witness or two who will have seen me at the golf course on the day or days in question ? Or if I am the governor of a Southern state involved in questions of interfering with minority voting when my brother was running for President, can j2life provide me with some witnesses who can testify that I know nothing about voting and in fact, have never even seen a poll booth, even if I knew what it was ? (Well, I guess the last example is little far-fetched, but bear with me.)
Anyway , you slandering bastards on this bile had better watch out ! Because I have, or can obtain at a reasonable hourly fee, EXPERT witnesses who can prove you have committed a variety of unpleasant crimes. For instance, do the words ‘kitten’ and ‘McNuggets’ and mean anything you ? I have witnesses who say they do.
Of course, the fact that the Tater is the only BIO listed on the site makes me suspect that the supply of expert witnesses is somewhat limited … perhaps to one. Unless the other witnesses remain anonymous under the Witness Protection Act. Don’t get me started.
My point, of course, is this : Lotus Notes sucks so badly that it has no justification for its existence. It stands, along with most UNIXs, as an example of the trimupmh of the hostile user interface (HUI). And I have, or can obtain, witnesses to prove it.

Is .NET faster than J2EE ? Will Ruby kill .NET ? Do the Elbonians even know Ruby ? Do they have a proper subscription to JDJ and read my columns ?
I think Bush Junior is the greatest President we ever had. I think he should just attack Elbonia and give us back our Java jobs and our JDJ jobs.
I like cats. Do people who don’t like cats even deserve to live ? Do Elbonians like cats ? I don’t think so.
These Ruby-ignorant, cat-hating Elbonians must die! Thank you Mister President!

WTF ?
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /.
Reason: DNS lookup failure for: http://www.mergere.com

does that mean that hani made it?

yes. with 23.4% of the vote.
Only someone called Intl Corp got more votes (34.1%). I am sure the Intl Corp guy bribed the voters to get some attention on his/her little start up.

“Anyone NOT from India on that JCP?”
Java is now relegated to COBOL legacy status so it makes sense to give them say on legacy technology
