Nem, Very nice! I have bookmarked the Grails web app. Do you have any comments regarding how development went? Any lessons learned to tell?
Nem, This would be a great case study for GatorJUG. Let's talk! /mike
I'm just about to reserve a venue for 12 months of 2013 on the second Wed of each month! <hint>Call for speakers...</hint>
That sounds good, Nem. Thanks. Of the three, the Grails app would be first case study choice, the Android app second and the Atmosphere app third. That is, unless you'd like to talk about them as 2 case studies: the Grails/Android G'Ville Events apps and the Atmosphere app. We get the best turnout with more standard presentations these days, rather than very unique topics.
The next GatorJUG meeting is Wed, January 9th.

I'd be glad to talk about my projects. I have another project that i think would be very interesting to talk about. It is another Grails project that uses atmosphere https://github.com/Atmosphere/
Perfect. If you give me a bio and abstract, I'll do the rest. Second Wed of Jan is 1/9.
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.

Aaron Erickson at QCon AI NYC 2025 emphasized treating agentic AI as an engineering challenge, focusing on reliability through the blend of probabilistic and deterministic systems. He argued for clear operational structures to minimize risks and optimize performance, highlighting the importance of specialized agents and deterministic paths to enhance accuracy and control in AI workflows.

AWS has recently introduced regional availability for the managed NAT Gateway service. The new capability allows developers to create a single NAT Gateway that automatically spans multiple availability zones (AZs) in a VPC, providing high availability, eliminating the need to define separate gateways and public subnets in each zone.
