Hidden Danger of Grails Plugins
Posted by RyanG in Grails/Groovy on August 19, 2010
As a new developer to Grails you’re probably in awe over the vast number of very powerful plugins which are available to you. Without writing a single line of your own code you can do all sorts of cool things like interact with Twitter, Facebook, Amazon’s S3 storage system, Apple Push notifications, Spring Security, and [...]
I Made Velveeta
Posted by MarlenaG in Parenting, Personal Expressions on August 16, 2010
I attended a city college culinary program, which means I know a little about food. I learned the basics of the culinary world, things like mother sauces, cuts of meat, basics of pastries, ect. I’m a foodie. I love food, like it and love to play with it and experiment. Thankfully my husband enjoys my [...]

Posted by RyanG in Cloud computing, Linux on August 2, 2010
If you’re running servers in the cloud, particularly on Amazon’s AWS and haven’t heard about RightScale you owe it to yourself to check them out. I’ve been using their tools for launching and managing linux servers on AWS. They allow you to automate all of the tasks to launch a new box, and even run [...]
Sleep, sweet sweet sleep

I remember being young and fighting every single nap time in preschool, daycare, and kindergarten. I remember whimpering when my parents held true to my 8:30pm bedtime. I just wanted to stay up and play with the adults, I didn’t get why I had to go to bed. I imagined that my parents were having [...]
Grails Domain Mocking Limitations
Posted by RyanG in Grails/Groovy on July 27, 2010
So, I just threw out most of this morning trying to figure out why something which clearly should work was blowing up my unit test on a grails app. To spare you the same pain I’m documenting it here. The scenario is that I have Roles and Privileges as domain classes. A role has many [...]
My torrid confession…
Posted by MarlenaG in Uncategorized on July 20, 2010
I LOVE the Gilmore Girls. I love the cheesy storyline, I love the silly romances, the silly friendships. I love all the dysfunctional relationships that somehow come to a nearly peaceful resting place within an hour. I loved the relation ship between Lorlei and Rori. I felt a kinship with their relationship as it was [...]
Renewed passion
Posted by MarlenaG in Personal Expressions on July 18, 2010
I attempted a day of rest yesterday as it was one of my last days when my husband was easily available while I recovered from my c-section. I ended up watching a lot of the new food channel (Anyone else feel like this is a more cooking focused fine living network? Anyone?) and found my [...]
My first five days…
Posted by MarlenaG in Parenting, Personal Expressions on June 22, 2010
My first five days home with both my boys and my husband were a bit of a whirl wind. Slowly my mom has shortened her visits here to help, trying to give our newly extended family more space. When writing these posts I heard Captain Kirk from the original Star Trek with beeps and all. [...]
Men and Women are different
Posted by MarlenaG in Parenting, Personal Expressions on June 20, 2010
Yes, I know the obvious differences, body parts, hair growth, DNA. My husband and I are different, he is a good foot taller than me, has straight hair, is fair and has dreamy blue green eyes. I’m short, olive, with dark brown eyes, you get the point. I have been reminded time and time again [...]
Sushi, glorious sushi!
Posted by MarlenaG in Parenting, Personal Expressions on June 13, 2010
There are a few things I miss when pregnant. I miss a ice cold pilsner on a hot day. The full bouquet of an well balanced cabernet savigion. The crisp, acidic flavor of a well chilled savignion blanc. Even the syrupy sweet nearly effervescent flavor of an ice wine. Tequilla, oh how I love it [...]
