From Neil Young’s Crime in the City:
The artist looked at the producer
The producer sat back
He said, What we have got here
Is a perfect track
But we don’t have a vocal
And we don’t have a song
If we could get these things accomplished
Nothin’ else could go wrong.
So he balanced the ashtray
As he picked up the phone
And said, Send me a songwriter
Who’s drifted far from home
And make sure that he’s hungry
Make sure he’s alone
Send me a cheeseburger
And a new Rolling Stone.
Yeah.

It’s nice to remember how easy it is to use the StandardMBean technique to register almost any object to be controlled via JMX.

The site http://pleac.sourceforge.net/ is a great idea. It’s really nice that the groovy examples are 74% complete. Many thanks to aboutGroovy.com and searchGroovy.org for helping me learn about this.

The Java Virtual Machine is the new UNIX. This has been happening for quite sometime and I’ve been rambling about it for a while. This post will expand upon the idea….. someday.
