Java Forum / General / October 2007Want to join a hobby (Java swing) project?
Hi, I am looking for some motivated programmers to join me in my Hobby project. Check out my project at: http://code.google.com/p/jspent/ That is what I am trying to build. I am looking for max. 2 people who can contribute ideas (such as requirements), improvements and can code in Java/swing. If you : are a good coder, have *genuine* interest and have time to work in hobby projects, Understand swing and java 2D, some hibernate/XML understanding and of course familiar with eclipse and net beans - please do respond.

There are a plenty around (not to discourage your efforts), but do take a look and see if you can produce something more of a value-add and a differenciator. If you have to break the mold in a market heavily dominated by MS Money and Quickbooks, it could be tough. But do keep up your efforts...all you'd need is to look for a key differenciator. -cheers, Manish >http://code.google.com/p/jspent/ It is a program for tracking expenses.

Perhaps it's that they don't look as incorrect if you stare at them long enough? (color looks wrong if you look at it hard enough, whereas colour looks better) Except for the 's' v. 'z' differences: it sounds like a 'z' so it, IMHO, should be spelled like a 'z'. SignatureBeware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E.

It conjures up the impoverished palette of colours available for decorating corn flakes boxes. But there is nothing inherent in either spelling. It is your associations and what you are used to. It is like kosy vs cosy.

So they took the u out of colour and honour. They changed French derivative words ending in re to er. Further they changed pronunciation to make it easier for the immigrants. The insisted you pronounce every syllable, unlike the clipt vowels of the British upper class. It was seen as a democratisation of language. I like to avoid American spelling, except when enforced by Java or required for consistency in Java programs, both as a badge of my nationality and a tiny resistance of the American domination economically, politically and militarily of the planet. It is a crass, overly commercial, self-centred, planet-destroying culture. It is what happens when you make capitalism the state religion. Gore Vidal remarked that he was so happy to be born at this time in history with a front row seat to watch the collapse of civilisation. It was like getting to observe the fall of Rome.

Wrong Webster, I believe. Daniel was a 19 century politician. The lexicographer was Noah Webster (1758-1843). His dictionary did indeed standardize the spelling of English words in America. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Webster SignatureTim Slattery Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt > Wrong Webster, I believe.

His was also the best-selling dictionary in Britain at the time work started on the NED (later known as the OED). SignatureJohn W.

You haven't heard of Gore Vidal? Damn. And who on earth needs more than one question mark for a question???????? Have you heard of Wikipedia?? Do you have the energy to use it???? <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gore_Vidal> That would've taken you less time than posting your snarky remarky.

How do you know I didn't look it up, but ask anyway just to make the point that the name isn't a household one everyone is sure to recognize? > Gore Vidal is very famous. Not famous enough for me to have recognized the name, obviously. >Hi, I am looking for some motivated programmers to join me in my Hobby >project.

Just so you asked, we need better UIs in Swing :) >> What is wrong with JMoney <http://jmoney.sourceforge.net>? >Just so you asked, we need better UIs in Swing :) I am not sufficiently familiar with the underlying Eclipse UI and how JMoney has been implemented to argue that case but I'm sure that starting a new project is not a solution. GnuCash and JMoney have been around for years and they still only just compete with Quicken. I don't think an improved UI is the key to a "Quicken killer" but, even if it is, wouldn't it be better to design an improved interface to JMoney than to start again from nothing? I should add that these posts are based entirely on self interest and not because I want to discourage a competitor to JMoney. I hope to make XP my last Microsoft operating system and one of the reasons I cling to it is because I have not weaned myself from Quicken.
