Anyway, this blog-series here is def. great to read:

IntelliJ IDEA 9 on (k)ubuntu

May 3, 2010

I’m a big fan of IntelliJ IDEA for Grails development. Sadfully I had huge problems since I installed Kubuntu 10.04.
The indexing crashed often, after a few minutes working all references broke down etc.
After some searching I found this

It seems that IDEA has some problems with the encryption of the home-dir. So I followed the threads advice and stored index-files etc. outside of my home-dir and voilà it works like a charm.

Grails jQuery-plugin 1.4.2.1

May 1, 2010

Hi there,

I’ve just released version 1.4.2.1 of the Grails jQuery-plugin.

Change jQuery-version
Sometimes you need an older version of jQuery but you also want to take the advantage of grails build-in AJAX-tags.
Since 1.4.2.1 you can specify the following in your application Config.groovy-file:

jquery {
sources = ‘jquery’ // Holds the value where to store jQuery-js files /web-app/js/
version = ’1.4.1′ // The jQuery version in use
}

sources Specifies the folder underneath web-app/js where the jQuery-lib should be\\
version Specifies the version of the lib

The settings above will result in js/jquery/jquery-1.4.1.min as location

Changelog:
* Applied: GRAILSPLUGINS-1919
* Applied: GRAILSPLUGINS-2056
* Added jQuery 1.4.2Designed by Tim Sainburg from Brambling DesignDesigned by Tim Sainburg from Brambling Design

Too sad they quit :/

Non-IT-related stuff now
Damn, one of my favourite bands Theatre Of Tragedy announced that the band, after 17 wonderful years, will become history this year.
And guess what I just found out after their tour here finished, great. Maybe I can manage it to get some tickets and a trip for the last concert in Stavanger Norway, but I guess even if I can find some time it’s already sold out :’(Designed by Tim Sainburg from Brambling Design
