The latest release of Sun’s Java has finally been deemed good enough for OS X users. By default the JVM in OS X is J2SE 1.4.2. Wondering if an updated iTunes (to address some recent security issues) would be released, I clicked Apple > Software Update… tonight. No iTunes in sight, but a welcomed Java update was discovered. However, J2SE 5.0 R3 will apparently coexist with J2SE 1.4.2 as mentioned in the installer:
Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 3 includes version 1.5.0_05 and improves functionality of J2SE 5.0 on Mac OS X v 10.4 Tiger 10.4.2 and later. This release does not replace the existing installation of J2SE 1.4.2.
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.
I used the Scribe WordPress plugin and service to optimize this blog post for SEO.

Hi paul I’m neo like you a student and I’ve also a site (but in French I don’t know if anyone here knows speaking or reading French) and I would like to thank you for providing the world such good contents. Really I have also to publish things on my site but you know the writing stuff I didn’t much love it until I read your articles, they really gave me inspirations and I decided to start writing good articles.
Your articles are well structured and the language is easy to follow up now I know why you want to be a magazine writer. So don’t give up I think one day you’ll reach your goal.
By the way there are some ideas on your site that I would like to use: you know the one in your archieve section where the links are coloured and weighed (and some others) , so can I.
If one day you happen to speak French and visited my site only to see some of your ideas there : that would really make you piss off, that’s why I’m asking you if I can use it.
Thanks a lot.
I got mine, but who uses Java? :)
I am still on 10.3.9 and I wish they would allow Java 1.5 to be installed on that. I hate the fact that Java has to be special tailored to be installed (and run correctly) on OS X. Do you think its going to change and be a little better with the move to x86 architecture?
neo: Feel free to use my Live Archives CSS.
I agree with Dave- is there any way I can get java 5 for 10.3.9? I don’t want to pay for tiger, and I need 5 for my degree! argh!
