Sam Altman just announced new support for MCP in ChatGPT! Get started now at start.Spring.io (search `MCP`)

Funny enough I just talked about the sort of integrations possible with something like this and ChatGPT's "work with.." feature, yesterday:

Want to use Buildpacks with Java 24 and native images?

* new project on start.spring.io (I'm using Maven.)
* choose Java 24 (It's almost April 2025!)
* add the following to your Maven build's `` section.
* `./mvnw -Dmaven.test.skip=true spring-boot:build-image -Pnative`
* Enjoy!

last night my partner and I went to the Chinese New Year parade (the largest such parade outside of Asia) here in San Francisco's Chinatown and then walked around Chinatown. Amazing.

people forget that you used to have to *invite* people to get a GMail account. It was a who-knows-who sort of thing. I invited my friend Philip in 2004. here's what that email (from GMail) looked like
