Another lesson: Don't breathe the fumes. I have no idea if they are toxic or not, but whenever I inhale a lot of it, I get a bit of a headache. I may just be imagining it but it becomes harder to concentrate for the next few minutes.
That and it smells bad too.

"Father of Java" Resigns From Sun/Oracle 396
Thrashing Rage writes "James Gosling has confirmed he is leaving Sun/Oracle: 'Yes, indeed, the rumors are true: I resigned from Oracle a week ago (April 2nd).

The hardest part is no longer being with all the great people I've had the privilege to work with over the years. I don't know what I'm going to do next, other than take some time off before I start job hunting.'"
