I’ve spent the last couple of days, after absorbing the Sybase acquisition of Aleri’s assets, looking at the various CEP players websites for evidence of cloud (grid name du jour) deployment.
I haven’t found anything worth mentioning. That’s not to say that I might have missed something. But my guess is that with all the economic woes lately, that the CEP vendors have either chosen to ignore or just simply aren’t aware that the rest of the world is actually solving real problems with cloud deployments.
Which is interesting.read more

Last week I got to analyze a web page that spent 4.8 seconds in the onLoad event handler of a custom script file. It turned out that 2.8 seconds were consumed by applying a dynamic menu library (will blog about this one separately). The remaining 2 seconds were spent in jQuery selectors. The analysis showed that most of the selectors didn’t return any object and those that returned objects can be improved by using different selectors.
About jQuery Selectors
There are some great blog articles about jQuery Selectors and their Performance Impact. As you can see you can select elements by ID, TagName or ClassName. Depending on the select jQuery can use the native browser methods to query elements by id or tag or needs to manually iterate through the DOM in case of class names (as there is not getElementsByClassName in IE).read moreThere’s been a bit of chatter lately about the info graphic put together by barackobama.com to sell the idea that the Recovery Act is working.
I’m not trying to sell you on the graphic, because there are others that don’t see it that way.

The recession may have driven Silicon Valley’s innovation engine straight off the cliff, according to an annual study by two local non-profits, Silicon Valley Network and Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Based on their just-released 76-page 2010 Silicon Valley Index they say the Valley is stalled and that it’s “hard to say is whether we’re stuck in neutral, which has happened before, or whether it’s time now for a complete overhaul.” read more
At Unite ‘09 Paulius Liekis and I did a presentation on Character Animation Tips & Tricks.

Oracle, sensibly enough from Oracle’s point-of-view, has turned off the tap of development resources on Sun’s Project Wonderland, the 100% Java open source toolkit for creating collaborative 3D virtual worlds. However, a core group of diehard Wonderlanders means to keep the project going and is scouting out for-project and non-profit options for becoming self-sustaining.read more
