Leaving Sun/Oracle

I had a great 2-and-a-half year journey with Sun, but my time there is sadly at an end. I was very fortunate to have worked with some very, very smart people. We’ll certainly keep in touch.

I worked on some really cool internal (and therefore not shareable) projects in Java, Jython, and Web languages and platforms. They were generally fun, diverse and challenging.

On to Return Path!

Return Path logoI’ll now be joining a small, agile team at Return Path. We will make email safer, and (I hope) win the war over spam. Audacious yes. Impossible… I think not.

New bling and licensing

From the "in case you care" department, a couple quick updates about the blog and some questions for you readers.

Un-copyright

Since I had a reader ask about licensing for some code posted here, I thought I should make it perfectly clear: I hereby release all code on Eric Wendelin’s Blog to the public domain. Everything is provided AS IS with no warranty. The point of this blog is to be helpful and its usefulness is restricted if I attach a license that can prevent anyone for using it under any circumstances.

Updates, updates, and more updates…

First I wanted to mention that one of our brilliant readers, erlando, has made a nice suggestion for Highlighting Search Results script that makes it even better! It really is quite brilliant so you should check it out!

Also, I have been busy adding a few new features here which you probably noticed. I thought I might give a quick overview of new stuff you’ll find around here that might be useful to you:

  • New contact form
  • You can now register and login with your OpenID
  • Security upgraded for login and spam blocking
  • Upgraded search, of course
