Ok, we all know about Sun's Java games on mobiles, some update on this wrt Nokia and Sun Announce New Java Technology Mobile Online Multiplayer Gaming Solution called SNAP. One thing about making it available, will it be faster (not a nice experience, listening to tinny music while it loads at a turtle's pace), and will it make game development easier? I'm not expert, but we will have to see.

Well, slept in today, did not go to see the parade here in Dub city. Even though it will be the last year large floats go down O'Connell St because of the power lines for the LUAS will need to be taken down and put back up from next year onwards, if large floats are still a feature in Irish parades.
