Sun Microsystems has written and published a “Customer Snapshot” highlighting how we used Java and various development tools and methodologies to build our Interceptor Suite.
Click here to read the article.
The article highlights some of our pre-existing intelligence and government work. I also hope to get another Sun snapshot covering our new commercial efforts published as soon as we are ready to dive into the details.

We released GeoLocator 2.1 and I wanted to blog a short bit about the release announcement so that readers can link to the press release for details.
The announcement notes:
GeoLocator™ 2.1 can process over 14,000 text files every hour, with each text file averaging around seven kilobytes each. That is the equivalent of reading War and Peace, which is almost 1500 pages long, 33 times in an hour. In fact, if you were to print all of those text files on standard, letter-size paper and set them side-by-side you could cover almost 35 acres.
Reading “War and Peace“, including extracting all of the locations in it and aligning them to geocoordinates, in less than 2 minutes. That’s fast!
