Brian, please ignore the below statement if you have physical problems with speech, but if you slow down a bit without the "unnnnn unnnnn unnnn ummmmm ummmms", it will be so much better. Your book concurrency in action is phenomenal and a gem in the piles of crap these days. Goes without saying that you are definitely "Doug Lea" material, but it would be great if you could slow down a bit to let us understand a bit from you.
However, nothing is gonna stop me from reading your books ;-).

Hi, did you see something about Ada in Adacore.com? Ada is not much better than all these other languages?

Hi Leonid,
My apologies for the mix-up on that - when I looked at your blog, in the upper right corner I saw:
leonardinius Daugavpils/Riga, Latvia
which I interpreted as being your name, with Riga as your hometown.
Thanks for fixing that Stefan!

Hi Ryan and Stefan.
Not a big deal, I really understand the cause of this. Probably I would get it wrong too (it's just this widget, which displays profile info in some weird manner).
Anyway, thanks a lot for finding that article and mentioning it here.
Thanks Ryan and Stefan.
