Ship It! enters it's second printing!

This probably isn't a huge event for established authors, but I'm enjoying it! I can't believe the first printing is already selling out. Our publishers are sending out the latest version of the book to the printers this week. The second printing will have a lot of corrected errata and an expanded "praise" page.

If you've reported a typo, thanks very much. An extra thanks goes out to Kim Shrier... you should moonlight as a copy editor! ;) I can't believe we all missed some of the stuff you caught!

If you haven't gotten a copy of the (ah-hem) historic first edition, time is running out! Order soon so that you can see all those typos for yourself! (kidding!)

Seriously though, if you bought the PDF version of the book, visit the Reship Ship It! page later in the week and you can download the latest version for free.

We'd like to thank everyone who bought, reviewed and/or blogged about Ship It! Thanks for the support! Will and I really appreciate it!

Building your own JDK?

I stumbled across this link today and I just have to say, all the ~real~ geeks are building their ~own~ JDKs! You're not one of those developers who lets someone else build their compilers for them are you?

It doesn't look trivial, but it's not insane either... how cool is that? Someone do this and let me know if it's as easy as it sounds!

Here's the link

Enjoy!
