I think we use Java at work for SameTime meetings. I'm pretty sure that's why I've got it on my work computer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I was gonna say this radar weather thingie is a Java applet, but I checked and it's Flash: [link]
It seems Flash has replaced most Java applets in web pages, no?
eta: I thought this was Java, but it's Javascript: [link]
Javascript has replaced a lot of Java applets too, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And that Apple is definitely distancing itself from. Hmm.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Apple is definitely betting big on JavaScript/HTML5.

I think JavaScript/HTML5 will eventually take over for web apps (though Java will probably still be on the server side and you can develop web apps in Java using GWT, but it gets converted to JavaScript). If Oracle is making an OS/X JVM, then it doesn't seem like a big deal.

Wordpress question: if I now have two blogs, how do I separate between them so I'll be able to access both of them with different usernames and different passwords?

I'm not used to dealing with this. New job as inkjet printer (I usually buy cheap brother laser printers). This is a decent scanner/copier/printer guy, so I can't just buy a new printer instead of ink.
Is there a good source for OEM Canon ink cartridges? They seem rather pricey.

I would swear that many of the big box office stores refill injet cart, but can't swear to brands.

Costco does refills but not for the inkjet printer I have.

I've heard horror stories of the refill leaking. Afraid to do that. Am I being irrational? (this is why I like laser printers)
