Grails is such a breath of fresh air. I created a simple test app with CRUD for multiple objects and simple logic in less than an hour. I will never touch another JVM web framework again (other than GWT for complex presentation layer requirements.)…

Apparently there will be a big announcement from Google re: social media tomorrow. It could be some sort of SocialWok (SNS on top of Google Apps) / Wave / OpenSocial integration.

Hybrid Native / Web Apps

We just finished a very interesting hybrid application called Ilio Fun Facts for the Army Corps of Engineers (mahalo to Native Hawaiian Veterans for pulling us in on the project.) The project provides free MacBooks to a group of public grade schools in Waianae. The MacBooks have special logins and screensavers that help educate kids about unexploded ordnance. In addition to being technically interesting it was one of those projects that makes you feel good because it helps the community.… Continue

We missed you at the 2009 Holiday Science & Tech Fair, at the Japanese Cultural Center last Tuesday!! Where were you and Mika? I had a GREAT time and made a lot of leads -- I was even interviewed for a potential position with OceanIt Laboratories!! :) WOW! I'm so excited!

Maybe we can meet up next time at another event.

Aloha mai kaua,

Mahalo for the message. I'll have to do that. As for my work at Perfect Search. It has been very interesting. I've got some ideas as to how to take the technology back to Hawai'i, or in some places where it may have some play, but am wanting to wala'au with some folks to get a better feel for the tech space in Hawai'i now, and where there might be the biggest need and most innovative players.

Sorry, NOAA is huge and I work for the National Marine Fisheries Service. The programs I support the most is the Coral Reef Ecosystems Division (got a ton of debris off some of the North West Hawaiian Islands) and the Protected Species Division (those monk seal lovers). We've been trying to do the "one NOAA" thing but it seems to have went away and each group seems quite autonomous. Supposedly we should be in one facility on Ford Island in about 4 years.

Thanks for the note. Have you ever emailed Gina? Or anyone on the ning team?

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for setting up this site. I set up a ning site for my high school alumni association 2 years ago and it has been an amazingly simple platform. Marc and Gina have done a great job.

That said - ning does have its challenges. For example - it is extreemly frustration that when someone has a new post or message, an email gets sent out, but the message isn't in the email... forcing everyone to have to click back to the ning site. This = FAIL because it disrupts the flow of convesation and people don't want to be forced to go to the ning website. We also discussed this last night and lost of folks we frustrated with it.

There used to be an option in the admin control to allow messages to be included the same way they do in FB. Do you know if you can change this setting? I seem to remember that ning removed this option in order to increase click rate to the site. :(
