Grails 1.1 logging

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Grails 1.1 has changed logging setup completely, introducing a new DSL closure. For the most part it’s cool, but the syntax looks the same sometimes for both log level and appender assignments.

Hello, world (again)

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

So I’m trying this blog thing again. I never really got into it because I didn’t want to post a bunch of simple chatty stuff. Then I started noticing that my web searches were finding more answers on blogs than on archived email lists. Finally, Jared Richardson convinced me during his keynote Career 2.0 at the Rich Web Experience conference. Viewing blog posts on technical issues as informal documentation makes sense to me. If I have find a solution or workaround to some problem, then it would probably help other people. Lately I’ve been trying to get my new desktop system at work up to snuff. The sysadmins barely did anything – changed the home directory and user logins to the network but didn’t even set the right time zone or setup ntp. So my first new post will be a little update to the documentation for the Fluxbox window manager that I can’t add to their wiki docs.
