The announcement letter referenced in the article above states that electronic availability will be on November 18, 2011. I suggest checking the developerWorks download pages on or after that date.

How can I, as a sole Developer, download Tools Edition for Eclipse? I can’t find a link for this offering, only purchase option. Thank you.

irssi: nice, i’m still thinking about switching all IM over to IRC as well, using something like bitlbee. irssi would then be my client of choice.

vimperator: tried it a few times, but couldn’t get the hang of it. search as you type plus the standard firefox shortcuts seem to cover 95% of my keyboard browsing needs.

How bored are you anyway? i had to find a good emacs for mac after macports.org completely messed up my system and i had to remove it altogether :) – and fink had errors installing ‘emacs23-app’ grrrrr…
anyway .. for now i’m stuck with http://emacsformacosx.com/ but tried out aquamacs as well.. (aquamacs just felt awfully slow). so if you are bored find a useful mac!! the best would be one which supports the desktop mode.. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Saving-Emacs-Sessions.html .. i want to have one emacs button in my tray for every project.. and when i click on it it should load my desktop for that project with all files i had opened previously :)

hmm.. thinking again.. maybe i should simply create virtualbox instances – one for every project.. :) i would never need to close browsers, editors, terminals, etc. .. sounds like too much work though :( (and also sounds slow as hell)

Comment on Cloud Computing by gpoul

@wnagele: Interesting distinction there. I was not making a difference whether a company uses the cloud or not. For me the companies I entrust my data to over the Internet, like Flickr, Facebook, or Google Picasa, for all intents and purposes are the cloud.

I get the feeling that I not only have no answers to this, but also that my questions weren’t really unambiguous either. sorry for that.
