About Atley:
I’m Atley and I have what you might call a little tech problem. I am a geek, scratch that I am an ENORMOUS GEEK. I am the guy in your neighbourhood that makes all the streetlights dim when he turns on all of his computers. I’ve been a geek since I can remember and I expect, anyday now, to be the subject of an intervention.
I have been a developer for over 15 years. Right now, I work for Altus Group as a Technical Lead. We make a couple of large ASP.NET applications and, while I love my work, but when I am not there, I am a huge phone geek. I tend to be an early adopter of all sorts of technology and always go over the top, much to the dismay of my family and my bank account! I’m a huge gadget freak and always have tons of tech within reach, most of the time quite literally! I keep at least two fully functioning domains going in my house as well as several different platforms and lots of gadgets.
Aside from being a terminal geek, I am an avid adventurer. Snowboarding, rappelling, bungie jumping, skydiving, base jumping, mountain/rock/structure climbing… if it is hard, I want to see if I can do it.
In order to tear me away from the technologies that I surround myself with, something has to be pretty exciting, unique or challenging. That is why I am a bit of an extreme sports enthusiast. I love any kind of challenge, the more difficult the better.
I love learning and often forsake everything else to bury myself in a new technology. I also love to share information, so always feel free to ask me a question, I’m always happy to help!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

By Robert KrzaczyńskiAWS launches a new Free Account plan, enabling users to explore services risk-free for six months with $100 in credits. Ideal for developers and hobbyists, it encourages experimentation and innovation without costs. Users can upgrade anytime and still utilize unused credits. This shift aligns AWS with industry leaders, enhancing accessibility and fostering growth in cloud development.
By Steef-Jan WiggersAI is here to stay, and it represents a unique and wonderful opportunity for Java and Spring developers. For most people, “AI engineering” simply means calling an LLM-based service over HTTP. In this article, we’ll examine the new Spring AI 1.0 project and explore how it can be used to integrate AI more effectively.
By Josh LongMistral has released Voxtral, a large language model aimed at speech recognition (ASR) applications that seek to integrate more advanced LLM-based capabilities and go beyond simple transcription. For two variants of the model, Voxtral Mini (3B) and Voxtral Small (24B), Mistral has released the weights under the Apache 2.0 license.
By Sergio De SimoneOpenAI's ChatGPT Agent merges advanced browsing and summarization for seamless data handling.
