I’ve been writing a few papers over the past few months. Two of them are now on my publications site:
Service Grid Variability Realization
Mobile Service Oriented Architectures (MOSOA)
Both papers are about service oriented architectures. The first one tries to bridge my earlier work on variability to the domain of web services and service grids. I see [...]
Tagged New publication, Software EngineeringI still have my old pc sitting next to my new pc. A few months back I installed ubuntu on it. Since then it has just sat there doing nothing. Occasionally I boot it into windows to retrieve some file I forgot to migrate. These occasions are getting very rare now. Soon it will be [...]
Tagged eclipse, java, reviews, ubuntuI tried to install some plugins in jEdit, my favourite programming editor (for things other than Java, for that I use eclipse of course). I got some IO errors trying to install some plugins in the plugin manager. Since this has happened before, I looked into it and found a solution to the problem:

Tagged eclipse, java, problemsandsolutionsI wasted some time in Google earth creating some placemarks of all the places I ever lived: Places where I lived
Just click on it and it should open up the locations in google earth. You need to have Google earth installed of course.
I did not take it myself but it gives a good overview of where I live (click for fullsize photo):

Tagged Interesting LocationsI’ve been taking photos with my new Canon S80. However, editing (correcting color balance and curves mainly) all that is quite a bit of work. I finally found some time this morning and three new directories have been added to photos.jillesvangurp.com
Check here for some April pictures of Helsinki. Here for a few family snaps [...]
The serverside.com, one of the sites I regularly visit for Java related news today posted a link to this case study.
The case study describes an EJB based software system that runs the health care system in Brasil. When I say “runs the health care system”, I mean that for example in Sao Paulo, a city [...]
Today, I’m making a rare exception and will post a little opinion piece on politics. Basically, something outrageous is happening currently in my home country, the Netherlands.
The last time when my home country made the international headlines, as it is no doubt about to do again now, was in 2004 when Theo van Gogh, a [...]
I’ve had some opportunity to play around with the newly released Axis2, apaches web service framework and container. Essentially this is a complete rewrite of Axis 1.x which is why it is called Axis2 - 1.0.
