Journal of Tormod Haugen

Now I’ve been working for Bouvet for a little bit more than two weeks. My title is Consultant, but I suspect (and hope) I will still have enough work as to be able to say “Developer” without lying through my teeth.

I’ve been lucky to get to know my co-workers a bit better; we had a social trip to Iceland one week into my time here. We were aprox. 80 people from the offices on the west-coast of Norway that went over there, and we all returned.

Dropped by yesterday and listened to Rune Peter Bjørnstad (Bouvet) talk about Mule. It came across as a simple and flexible message bus. Running by itself or in another server, there seemed to be few things it couldn’t do. One of the most interesting things, however, was the roadmap. Mule 2.0 will come with support for Spring 2.0 configuration; schema based configuration, and better support for autocompletion.
