Dear Kalam ji,
I am so glad that you are spreading the good news using your website and Billion Beats. But Billion Beats looks very formal and it is difficult for the readers to reply to the article and as well meeting somebody else with the same passion.It would be great if you start blogging. It will be simple blog where you just have to put your ideas. This will help us to reply to the post in the form of comment and also debate with like minded people by commenting.You could blog once a week if time is a big constraint.
Wishing you all the best and expecting your blog post.
Jai Hind,

How to design Java Application shutdown hook
On December - 17 - 2007
Simple shutdown hooks can often be written as anonymous inner classes, as in this example:
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread() {
public void run() { call_ur_method(); }
});
This idiom is fine as long as you’ll never need to cancel the hook, in which case you’d need to save a reference to the hook when you create it.
