A couple days with Grails
No type of cutover from one system to another ever goes totally as planned. This certainly wasn't different.
Let me first say that Eatj.com is a great service, I would like the option to not have to put everything in the war or in secondary storage but I can deal with it if the tradeoff is a private JVM. A private JVM is both a blessing and a curse. It's good because you can quickly fix small problems and not have to wait for 1A for the host to deploy the WAR file. It is bad for precisely the same reason. Here are the features of this as-yet unnamed software.
Fancy URLs (year/month/day/title and just the title) RSS and Atom feeds Comments moderation Scheduled Posts Tags Archive links
The comments moderation mostly worked but needs some tweaking and finally thanks to the new feed Technorati is correctly aggregating my blog. It apparently didn't like my last CSS change when I was using Nucleus CMS because it aggregated only the comment blocks from that point on. Moving forward, I'm going to work on the backend admin console, integrate S3 services better(maybe with an applet, yes I said an applet), and do some CSS tweaking.
Again, if you got broken links in the past day or so, I truly apologize, think of it as a artifact of using 0.1 software(my blog, not grails).
