OpenJDK and ubuntu

So I am attempting to modify yuicompressor so I can use it and not spawn 10k instances of it while iterating over files (yes i know it takes a file list but i need to do pre-processing of each file).

$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
ant can't find tools.jar , ok
$ export  JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
ok now ant build works, but
$ java -version
says i'm running 1.6 ... wtf ...
http://askubuntu.com/questions/141791/is-there-a-way-to-update-all-java-related-alternatives
ok, aparently there is a whole system of how to manage alternatives in ubuntu ... cool ...
$ java -version
1.7 ... nice :)

Google IO

Been watching tons of videos from Google IO 2012, and before if the topic perked my interest.  So many cool uses of technology to do some crazy things.  This is just a laundry list of some of the tools/apps/etc... listed that could help with day to day stuff

google drive and the crazy integration they are doing with docs

• lucid chart - could be useful for making ERD DB diagrams
• hellofax - could finally get rid of that fax machine & phone line
• slide rocket - who doesn't love some great bullet points

HTML 5 games

• texture packer - used to make the atlas sheets for packing sprites etc... could be very useful in improving the load performance of "regular" web pages too thou...
• https://github.com/kripken/emscripten translate LLVM bitcode into js ... wow ...
