Re: Public graylog2 instance upgraded to v0.9.6

Working on a new instance with GL2 0.10. Should be ready in the next week or so. Sorry but pretty tied up.

Hey Michael,
Sorry for the late response but we redeploy the instance (and with that the password) every now and then when somebody thinks he is funny and changes the default PW/User combo. I am just doing that again and it should be OK to log with the mentioned details in a few minutes.

Hi Ronnie,
The below should get you there. It is a bit modified version of what we use for deployments.
You can find it in 'clear text' also at http://pstehlik.com/share/c...

log4j = {

Re: Recovering from Amazon cloud outage

pstehlik — Tue, 03 May 2011 23:05:32 -0000

you are asking the right question at the end of your post... how can we prevent this stuff from happening in the future... it is not only you guys who had issues, but many new startups and companies really just don't build and design enough for these kind of outages.

If you are in SF next wee (for Google I/O?) I would love to invite you to the 'T1000 Gathering' meetup on May 9th to discuss what strategies we can promote to 'startup land' (and in general) to build new things with technical failure in mind and how to prevent issues like the ones that the EBS outage generated.

It is an informal meetup with no set speakers but a big topic to discuss - would love your input http://bit.ly/mpU5tT

Love your two posts about the AWS issues.
We are meeting on Monday, May 9th in SF to discuss what we can do to weave high availability and fault tolerance into startup-world. Would love to hear your take!!

Re: Amazon Cloud Computing Platform Goes Down, Takes Major Social Websites With It

pstehlik — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 17:53:16 -0000

We are planning the 'T1000 Gathering' to start a discussion about how to prevent these large scale failures in the future and how to minimize their impact on the whole ecosystem.

The meetup ( http://bit.ly/feYcuC ) is on May 9th at 5pm in San Francisco followed by a screening of Terminator in the evening.

I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas!!

Re: Log4j appender for GELF & graylog2 - Released gelf4j v0.8

pstehlik — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 01:38:55 -0000

Hey Erik,
Could you share more details on your setup? Which version are you using? I assume you are using a log4j.properties file?
If you are not using the newest version of gelf4j, check out the newest one at https://github.com/pstehlik....
If that doesn't help at all, it would be great if we can take the conversation over to github and run this as an issue there -> https://github.com/pstehlik... Then all is in one place.
Here a working lo4gj properties config porion

log4j.appender.GELF=com.pstehlik.groovy.gelf4j.appender.Gelf4JAppender

Re: Deploying and Running Grails in the Cloud

pstehlik — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 13:55:14 -0000

Looking forward to that feature!!!
So far the CloudFoundry plugin (IMHO) has the best ability to do 'push-button-deployments' onto EC2.
A native Beanstalk handling would be great to get things up and running easily!

Re: Broken Pipe, Grails, Hibernate, Spring, JDBC and stale DB connection issues

pstehlik — Fri, 07 May 2010 12:16:26 -0000

I don't know if that config works. Does it? Have you tried it?

I would assume it doesn't unless these settings exist on com.mysql.jdbc.Driver (and are passed through by Grails).

You should set the c3p0 specific settings in the resources.groovy and not in the DataSource.groovy

Re: How to run single Groovy based unit tests in Netbeans 6.7

pstehlik — Mon, 03 May 2010 13:16:07 -0000

All that we did was explicitly adding the jUnit library to the project's classpath. That library should be pre-configured by Netbeans 6.8. Then a right-click on the test and 'Run File' executes the test.

Re: How to run single Groovy based unit tests in Netbeans 6.7

pstehlik — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 19:15:24 -0000

Hey Federico,
Unfortunately I haven't used NB6.8 very much as I eventually bought a license for IntelliJ as it really has much better support for Groovy/Grails.

One of my co-workers recently did use groovy unit-tests in NB6.8 and we figured it out pretty fast to get it working there. I will check with him as I don't remember exactly what the final fix was.

Re: How to run single Groovy based unit tests in Netbeans 6.7

pstehlik — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:23:29 -0000

Hey Alvin,
Are you using the M3 of NetBeans 6.7? I don't know if the described workaround is good for NB 6.5!

In order to run a single .groovy file from NetBeans you have to right-click the filename in the file-tree and select 'Run File' (Shift+F6)
If the file that you are executing is within the 'Test Packages' etc it will then execute the 'test-single' traget and with this run the unit test on this single file.

You have to change the build.xml as I described before you can do that.

thanks for the hint!
will try that one out.

Why do you think that you don't need to override -post-test-run?

Re: The speed difference between the different types of Strings in Groovy and Grails

pstehlik — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 11:15:14 -0000

The question was not the difference between the Strings in general but more the question if there is a significant speed difference when using the one or the other (or slahshy Strings etc) over the course of a complete project.

It was clear from the beginning that the double quoted Strings are more complex as they allow closures etc inside them. However, they are only rendered into GStrings if they actually contain anything like that. If they only contain text, they are normal Strings. There was a really nice thread on the mailing list in regards to that with some good explanations from Jochen Theodorou -> http://www.nabble.com/Speed...

would be great to have one of these invite codes for the time around thanksgiving - where one could probably find some hours to do hobby-tech instead of pure hobby-work-tech

Re: 2D Barcodes

pstehlik — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:12:15 -0000

Hi there,
When you are talking about different interesting ways of using QR Codes, you should check out http://www.Snappr.net where you can create all different kinds of mobile content; linked with a QR Code. You can also print the Codes right from there on shirts, mugs etc and can also manage your content. That means you can for example let your personal Code point to your vCard one day, but the other day, a scanning person will get to your blog.

Hope you like it!
