Semantic Ramblings

This past Tuesday I attended a talk about the Semantic Web and social networks by Sun's Henry Story. I've posted my impressions, mixed with some uninformed commentary about semweb in general, on my work blog.

JSR-311 at USP

I gave a talk about RESTful Web Services and JSR-311 at our local USPJUG meeting, the slides are available here (in portuguese).

Administrivia

• I realized there is no point in keeping the blog bilingual, so from now on all posts will be in English. I may, some day, open another portuguese-only blog, but not anytime soon (I can barely post here more than once a month)
• But I do have another blog. I should have announced this a while ago, but better late then never, I guess. It is at http://blogs.sun.com/rafaelferreira. It is there because I've been working for Sun for the past few months - I'm a Sun Campus Ambassador at the University of São Paulo. That means, BTW, that if you're a student or a professor at USP and want to engage with Sun, I'm you're guy (hint: my name is Rafael Ferreira and all email addresses at Sun are formed as Firstname.Lastname@sun.com). On a related note, we have setup a JUG for the USP community at https://uspjug.dev.java.net/
• Oh, and obviously, all opinions expressed here are my own and not necessarily shared by Sun Microsystems or any of my co-workers. Duh.
