Was time it seems to get Ilinca “upgraded” from a tricycle — and she got the hang of it pretty soon:

Couchbase Graph/Stats Problem?
This is just something that we found recently in Cognitive Match and I thought it might help others who use Couchbase as a NoSQL store, and rely on some of their (otherwise awesome!) graphs, as it seems these can be occasionally misleading — though this is probably an edge case. A bit of background: we […]
Using Apache Commons CLI to Parse Arguments
I’ve talked before on this blog about Apache Commons CLI project and showcased how easy it is to use it to build a rather complex command-line syntax for your Java application. If you find yourself at any point writing an application which needs more than one command line switch, I strongly recommend Commons CLI is […]

Still early stages, as I still need to figure out really how to properly release versions into their file system, but as it stands right now at least there […]

I absolutely love AWS and every day I seem to find something new about them (though, granted, not sure if that says something about the innovation in Amazon or it says something about my ignorance!?). However, having used […]
First Steps with Jolokia
In a (rather old) previous post I have talked about using Sun (ahem Oracle!) JMX/HTML bridge to manage and monitor your applications. As it happens, that agent has been discontinued and due to various licensing issues (I’m guessing) one can’t even download it normally from a maven repo, and has to rely on all sorts […]
melovesvideos Goes Live!
About 2 weeks or so ago, Amazon launched their Elastic Transcoder and at the time this has captured my attention right away — to the point where I had to go and add it to my AWS account and try it for myself. Regardless of anything else, that is an amazing tool and Amazon did […]
