First attempt at addressing my two biggest annoyances with CSS by leveraging the innovating Grails Resources plugin.

I finally got around to continue working / hacking / having fun with the Spock extension I started working out before Christmas. The project is still far, far away from being stable or usable. The latest changes are all about trying to come up with a nice API for testing REST / HTTP services.

Googling for Linux compatible usb wlan dongles was a frustrating experience. Most of the stuff you find is just people complaining about what doesn't work.

It's been a year since my "A year with Grails" blog post. Grails, and especially the ecosystem around it has come a long way since then!

I’ve spent a lot of time lately working on the multi-tenant-single-db plugin for Grails.

Det at søkemotoroptimalisering bare er noe som kan gjøres av programmerere og veldig "tekniske" personer er en altfor utbredt myte! Den desidert viktigste jobben gjøres av de som skriver og publiserer innhold på nettsiden. Her er en liste over ting en bør tenke på når du skriver innhold for publisering på nett.
