I am happy to report that after much delay the Mojohaus team has finally fixed the Aspectj Maven plugin to allow disabling the annotation processing by the aspectj compiler. It will be fixed in version 1.8 of the plugin. You may recall that back in April I was forced to fork the project to fix…

Spring Boot for prototyping
I am on a new project at work that looks to be very interesting. I am redesigning our Cassandra layer. Currently we have a beautifully done layer that was designed and implemented by our former architect.

Angular.js first go
We had some workshops over the last couple of days at work on an intro to Angular.js. I have to say I came away from them pretty impressed with the framework. I can see why it is taking the development world by storm. I think the controllers make it very relate able for anyone coming…

AT&T Uverse vs TimeWarner Cable
I have had it with AT&T Uverse! We have been having some internet issues lately. We have been AT&T Uverse customers since 2008. I started out with 6mbit service then upgraded to 12mbit and then to 18mbit (upstream is only 1.5 mbit.) When we first got it installed it was very cheap but as the…
