It’s been an awful long time since I wrote here the last time. Reason being simple, as simple it can be – daily routine I swamped by… And yes, lack of motivation, topics, time, energy, ideas… You name it :) Alright. Amiga 1200. My old friend. Decomposed but powered on, and working. With that ‘click’ […]
Get back to my parents-in-law house and my little, yellow and somewhat decomposed Amiga 1200. Not yet rotting, but not booming either. I mentioned non-so-responsive keyboard (I recall it has stopped working 10 years ago…), the mouse with no ball and a broken hard drive. Enough to be disheartened, but not now. Fight! The thing […]
This blog is suppose to be dedicated to programming. To little bits and pieces of things I do professionally or to stuff I would like to do in a near future. Two weeks ago, out of the blue, I wrote a post about Amiga however. Sounds like a different kind of stories, doesn’t it? Not […]
I have a pretty “yellish” Amiga 1200. I’ve been trying to resurrect my old girlfriend since two years or so, but with no success. Her hard drive is dead, keyboard does not work well (that horrible tape…) and the PSU not so healthy anymore. I cleaned the floppy and besides the mainboard and expansion card […]
Today is May 26th, 2012. 6 months passed away, relatively in peace, since the last post here. I am not sure whether I had no time to write something new here, or it was just a lack of motivation. Or maybe I just forgot about this blog ;) Things have changed. Again. Hooray! I switched […]
When I were young, the time did not fly so horribly fast. This is for sure. I do not really remember whether I traveled with the speed of light or what, but apparently I had much more time. It was not so expensive as it is today. This is for sure. Now, having family and […]
With YUI, finally I managed to rewrite the standard ‘create’ view. It does not mean that the view is done, but my eyes don’t hurt so much. The Grails generated views make me feel dizzy. I don’t know why. I created 3×3 grid in the CSS Grid builder, decomposed the standard view into templates (_topright.gsp, […]
Today I tried to develop a ‘create’ view for the most important (thus the biggest one) class in my application. I cannot say I succeeded. The complexity of CSS stuff is killing me. I never was a front end developer (hmm… except Borland C++, Java’s Swing and… Python’s curses :)) and I don’t feel like I […]
I find myself trudging through the complexities of Grails, however the real business remains almost untouched. This is more than demotivating by the end of the day. This is one of the problems I’m struggling with: who’s the real driver here? Is it the problem I’ve been trying to code or the technology I decided […]
I’ve been developing a small application in Grails. Sounds like a two-clicks task, doesn’t it? The recipe looks easy. Trivial to be honest. Just come up with domain classes, design and code them. Stir a little. Don’t bring to the boil. Run some generate-all magic, and voila… Nah. It doesn’t look tasty. It doesn’t look […]
