Jeffrey A. "jam" McGuire from Acquia, Inc. and I got the chance to sit down and chat in the event hotel lobby at SymfonyLive Berlin, 2014. Listen to what we have talked about. "S-word" included, I am really sorry ;)
A couple of weeks ago I blogged about my experiment with Grails and AngularJS. When I deployed the application "in production" I realized that I needed to change the Urls for accessing the Grails backend. In development mode Grails is running in an own Tomcat instance on a different port, while in production the Grails backend and the AngularJS frontend application are both served from the same Tomcat instance. In fact, both parts get exported to one .war file. After a bit of research I came across the grunt-ng-constant task which is named to be a "plugin for dynamic generation of angular constant modules". Sounds like what I needed ;)
For more than 1,5 years I rely on reveal.js for my presentations and so far the setup works quite fine for me. However there was one thing which I wanted to change: After launching the built-in webserver via Grunt I needed to launch my browser (Chrome) manually. To sharpen my Grunt skills I went out to find a solution. In the end it turned out to be rather simple ;) - I came across the grunt-open package which allows us to "open urls and files from a grunt task". This is how I set things up:
Recently I wanted to dig a bit into Grails which is a full stack web application framework for the JVM. Grails "takes advantage of the Groovy programming language and convention over configuration to provide a productive and stream-lined development experience".

About a year and a half ago Fabien Potencier announced the PHP Security Advisories Database initiative. Part of the initiative the SensioLabs Security Advisories Checker (beta) website came to life. The website and the api behind it makes it very easy to check your composer.lock file for dependencies which "have issues". Either upload your composer.lock file to the website or use the CLI tool to communicate with the api directly. About 2 weeks ago Fabien took the next step forward and announced that the Security Advisories Database is distributed as public domain and as such can now be "controlled" by the community.
I recently made a mistake. I upgraded Kubuntu to the latest version. At first glance everything looked fine, however I quickly realized that something went wrong when I tried to use Eclipse. Opening some dialogs made Eclipse segfault. Reinstalling Eclipse did not work so I took the route to the Eclipse bugtracker and found bug #440660. As it seems the Oxygen GTK theme which is used by KDE to make GTK application "look nice" is incompatible with the Eclipse SWT library. Swichting to another GTK theme was not an option. Luckily the bug report shows a work-a-round to fix the problem:
