Confluence Grails 0.2 released

I finally made the adjustments necessary to run the Confluence Grails plugin on Grails version 1.2.0.

It became necessary since it was still using the springcache plugin 1.0.1 for caching. This version is considered as outdated in Grails Revision 1.2-M3. Since then springcache plugin 1.1 is working which is a full rewrite of the springcache plugin. That became necessary with the introduction of Spring 3.0.

Confluence plugin 0.2 is now available within the Grails Plugins repository.

     grails install-plugin confluence

will do the job.

twitkick.org launched

It’s been a while since I had the idea of reading fooball results via twitter. I tried some commercial sports twitterers like kicker. Kicker’s tweets really got down to the nitty-gritty. They read very machine generated.

When Grails 1.2.0 was launched before Christmas I started to build my own football results twitter service just for fun. Using the results from OpenLigaDB via SOAP, some Grails plugins and Twitter4j for the Twitter integration I made it conveniently on schedule to be live with the end of the winter break in January. Piece of cake. Appropriate domain registered: twitkick.org was luckily available.

I’m pretty curious how followers might grow within the remaining season.

Well,  I wasn’t too excited about last year’s gift (a wrist pad and a flashing bouncing ball). This year they sent a conference speaker which much more attracted my attention. read more…

Folgende Mail bekam ich gerade von O2. Ich muss dazu sagen dass ich

  1. Bereits seit August kein O2-Kunde mehr bin.
  2. Nicht FRAU Breit bin
  3. Ich letzte Woche an den Kundenservice schrieb, dass ich bitte keine Infomails mehr bekommen möchte.

Schon Scheiße wenn man seinen Spam nicht mehr im Griff hat.

Sehr geehrte Frau Breit,
