Well the first 24 hours of groovyblogs.org was a senssational one. Only one outage due to the most fierce electrical storm we’ve had in Canberra for ages. Note to self: move the router onto the UPS as well.

I’m pleased to announce that the complete source code for the site (including art) is now available, so if you’ve been wondering how much dodgy-ness can be crammed into 22 hours, now’s your chance to find out.

Should be a nice sample app for people to learn about fulltext search, RSS aggregation and generation, caching, and some simple Ajax uses.

Have updated the site with some fixes today based on the first 23 hours. The first fix was to suppress any entries not containing groovy or grails keywords. I think a lot of people may have thought that groovyblogs.org was just a general java aggregator written in groovy/grails. Fair enough.

Decided to make that more clear for people when they test their blog (with checkboxes for groovy related stuff). Incidentally, found a great site for icons in my quest for an open source tick and cross.

Anyways, enjoy the source! And have fun with groovyblogs.org!
