http://www.defgroovy.com/2009/08/delivering-business-value-through.html
A mostly Groovy related blog. Wednesday, August 5, 2009. Delivering Business Value Through Polyglot Systems (part 1). My answer to Peter Ledbrooks's blog post "Are polyglot systems a good idea? He wrote his post after reading "Polyglotism is the worst idea I ever heard". Concerns about introducing Groovy into a Java project and I address each concern by relating my own experience. Having worked with Java and Groovy on paid projects. The "Maintenance Nightmare" concerns staffing and training. He descr...

A mostly Groovy related blog. Sunday, April 6, 2008. Update on the Omaha Java User Group Meeting Info. Today I had the pleasure of presenting on Groovy at the Omaha tour stop for No Fluff Just Stuff.

Uncommented Bytes: July 2004

Wednesday, July 28, 2004. Roller Now Simpler to Setup. Where was I when this Roller announcement was made? Roller Now Simpler to Setup. After finding out today that there is a version of Roller with an embedded HSQLDB database, I went and set it up right away. I did a couple of tricks with it, because I already have a Tomcat server running on port 8080. But after a couple of small script changes, I was up and running in less than 20 minutes total!

Uncommented Bytes: CSS word-break and word-wrap
http://uncommentedbytes.blogspot.com/2012/08/css-word-break-and-word-wrap.html
Monday, August 06, 2012. CSS word-break and word-wrap. Finding a cross-browser CSS solution to force breaks in long words inside of table-cells is not an easy task. My issue was specifically with email addresses formatted like reallyreally.long.email.addressthatdoesnotbreak@fakeemail.com. The snag is that support is decent inside of block-level elements like divs, but only hacks seem to exist for table cells. The widely supported white-space. One promising hack sets a table to be table-layout:fixed.

Uncommented Bytes: jQuery to Disable IE MS Lync phone number icons
http://uncommentedbytes.blogspot.com/2012/06/jquery-to-disable-ie-ms-lync-phone.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2012. JQuery to Disable IE MS Lync phone number icons. Corporate environments have been pushing out MS Lync. As the IM successor to Office Communicator. With that comes a click-to-call plugin. That automatically puts a little phone icon next to any detected phone number on a web page. I can only assume that clicking the icon will make a phone call, as if anyone really wants that feature to be on by default. Like it is part of your page, but it's really not. It even prints with the page.

Uncommented Bytes: Which Portal? Apache Jetspeed, of course!
http://uncommentedbytes.blogspot.com/2004/07/which-portal-apache-jetspeed-of-course.html
Thursday, July 01, 2004. Apache Jetspeed, of course! Punit asked Which Open Source Portal Server? And here is my answer:. He lists the top contenders in the open source portal market as:. Apache Jakarta Jetspeed 2. I would mod it to change Jetspeed to version 1 and add Jahia. At the time of my evaluation it was miles ahead of Liferay, eXo, and uPortal for our purposes. Jetspeed 2 looks to be great when it is stable and released. Until then, Jetspeed 1 is all we need. I should do another entry on ...If yo...

A mostly Groovy related blog. Monday, May 12, 2008. A couple of friends from the Omaha Dynamic Language User Group. And I went to Kansas City for our first BarCampKC. Experience. Not surprisingly, the conversations in the bar on Friday night and in the hallway on Saturday we at least as interesting as the presentations themselves.
