So I'm putting together a Windows 2008 R2 x64 RC Java image for a client (more on
that later), and everything's breezing along fine. Install the OS, check. Install
JDK 1.6 (u13) into the machine, check. Install Tomcat 6 into the machine, running
as a native Windows service, check. Open localhost on port 8080, and... not check.
Times out, no response, not good.

Recently, NFJS alum and buddy Dion Almaer questioned the
widespread, almost default, usage of a relational database for all things storage
related:

Ian Hickson: “I expect I’ll be reverse-engineering SQLite and speccing that, if nothing
better is picked first. As it is, people are starting to use the database feature
in actual Web apps (e.g. mobile GMail, iirc).”

The Simple-Talk newsletter is
a monthly e-zine that the folks over at Red Gate Software (makers of some pretty cool
toys, including their ANTS Profiler, and recent inheritors of the Reflector utility
legacy) produce, usually to good effect.

But this month carried
with it an interesting editorial piece, which I reproduce in its entirety here:

While playing around with a recent research-oriented project for myself (more on that
later), I discovered something that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere in the Scala
universe before. (OK, not really--as you'll see towards the end of this piece, it

An interesting
blog post was forwarded to me by another of my fellow ThoughtWorkers, which suggests
a new software stack for building an enterprise system, acronymized as “JOSH”:

The Book Of JOSH

Through a marvelous, even devious, set of circumstances, I'm presented with the opportunity
to address my little problem without proscribed constraints, a true green field opportunity.
