Obgaektify - Datastore Grooviness for Google App Engine

A while back, I started playing around with Google App Engine (Java) and the lightweight, Groovy , Gaelyk. There’s also a great library written for using the low level datastore in App Engine called Objectify.

I decided to write a little Groovified wrapper for Objectify (which already does most of the work) and turn it into a plugin for Gaelyk. It adds a little syntactic sugar, and although it doesn’t have everything, it is working nicely for me so far. Check out the Obgaektify site to learn more.


New Site

Every once in a while, I visit register.com to see if any good domain names with my name are available. I discovered recently that jeremy-brown.com was available, so I decided to snatch it up.

I installed this nice WordPress theme Dark LiquidCard, created by the French artist and designer Jori Avlis. Thanks Jori! With a few tweaks to the code, I was able to enable WordPress widgets in the sidebar. Now the site is up and looking good.
