Way to go for Rail System , first in Florida , USA and smart meters

I was reading about the smart meters and I got to the page which showcased the rail system in Florida. It is developed by Siemens. It looks pretty cool. It has video : Florida rail system .

You will get the flash video first. That's well made. After that real video starts , where business people are talking to the community. They are educating the public for it.

I am from India. The rail system there is biggest on the earth. US don't have proper public transport or rail system. you just see cars running , creating traffic and polluting the environment. I have no idea why the biggest economy don't have good rail / public system while other countries have that.

It will be great to have rail system in US.

About smart meters BCIT received $5 million grant to do research in smart grid. Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) agreed that:

-- smart meters impose no health risks
-- it will improve our enviroment
-- we can wash clothes/dishes or charge electric vehicles when there is no load on the electric grid

I am hoping people understand the benefits of rail system and smart meters and adopt it. It will be good for the future generations.

I want to get relaxed so, listening to this music.

Goolge TV

I was just doing nothing on this friday and started looking at Google TV. I watch TV sometimes even I don't have cable connection @home. You must be thinking is this guy out of world. I use my laptop to see the movies and series and other stuff that I don't want to talk about like cartoon...etc...

I have Samsung TV right now and I like it. Whenever I want to see good movie I just attach my laptop and see on the big screen.

I am looking at features of Google TV and I am just amazed by it. You can search anything that you search on browser. So without my laptop I can bookmark any link I like, I can share the link and can do many more other things.

For software engineer freak they have built the SDK so, they can develop the apps for it. NASTY.

They just introduced remote control for iphone and android phone. you don't even have to buy keyboards. Just use your phones to do search , share and control the TV.

Beware more then one person can control the TV. Hide your wife's phone otherwise you can not see the sport game. :-).  Girls I am just writing my blog.

 


I am big fan of Apple. so, I will just provide the link for Apple TV. :-)

XJB Compiler and Enum Class Parameter issue

XJB compiler creates the Java Enum Class.

It is weird that sometimes it creates Class for some parameters with String Type and sometimes with specific EnumType.

So, during compilation you will get lot of errors like this function does not support this parameter ..blah..blah..

Solution:
Get to the root class with for which XJB compiler is giving errors. And If you checked it out revert it to previous version.
