Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Hi folks,
It's been a while since last time I post here. I just want to share a project that I have started recently and hopefully it will benefit some of you.
In many places where I worked, they often needed a light, fast and standalone server like process that run easily without much hassle, compare to use a full blown JEE server. I often ended up writing the same bootstrapper service that does many of the basic things. We need logging, we need easy configuration set loader, we need remote control and management, and we need it NOW!
I have been started and collected some experimental code for a while on each time I learn how to do it better. So I finally created a new project under googlecode and named "spring-runner". You may call it a Fully functional Tiny Little Java Server. :)
See http://code.google.com/p/spring-runner
I hope you will find it useful. Feel free to provide any feedback and comments on the project.
Best regards,
-- Zemian Deng

I use googlecode because they provide Mercurial source control. It also gives me a project home page, Wiki, Issue tracking etc, all are ready to go in just few minutes.
Now only if private companies we work for will have such infrastructure setup, and easiness of use for all internal projects, our job would be so much productive, won't we? :)

Google Cloud announced the private preview of AlphaEvolve, a Gemini-powered coding agent designed to discover and optimize algorithms for complex engineering and scientific problems. The system is now available through an early access program on Google Cloud, targeting use cases where traditional brute-force or manual optimization methods struggle due to vast search spaces.

With the release of the Android XR SDK Developer Preview 3, Google has introduced two new libraries to help developers create AI Glasses experiences, Jetpack Projected and Jetpack Compose Glimmer. ARCore for Jetpack XR has also been expanded to work with AI Glasses, adding motion tracking and geospatial capabilities.

Also, he shares light on Toad, his current project, which he envisions being a more visually appealing way of interacting with agentic LLMs through command line.
